Singing concept taught by Rachael

Ethan learned 15 days ago

Rachael and Ethan's online singing lesson involved selecting Justin Bieber's "Sorry" as the song to focus on, discussing lesson scheduling and a potential free lesson via review, and practicing vocal warm-ups like the "do-me-so-do" and "do-so-fa-re-do" exercises. The session also included a wide-ranging conversation about topics such as the frustrations of nursing, city development, and experiences during a recent heat wave.

Layla learned 29 days ago

Rachael is giving Layla a piano lesson, covering review of "Jazzy Joe," a simplified Beethoven piece, and introducing G major scales and chords. They then begin learning "Dinosaur Stomp," a jazzy piece in G position with a focus on left-hand melody, right-hand chords, fingering, and swing feel. They adjust the piece due to Layla's piano's limited range. The goal is to practice "Dinosaur Stomp" for the week.
