Singing concept taught by Thom
Thom and Max reviewed performance feedback and practiced ear training using Melodol and Melodear. They analyzed Max's practice exam, identifying areas for improvement such as intervals, scales, and rhythm. Thom assigned singing exercises for the next session to help Max internalize scale degrees and improve interval recognition.

Thom guided a learner from Clements High School in Telfair through an analysis of song structures. They explored examples from various songs, including Eurovision entries, to identify patterns and understand how different sections contribute to a song's overall impact. The lesson focused on using A, B, and C sections to map out song form, and they analyzed the UK's 2024 Eurovision entry to understand its structural issues. The individual was encouraged to practice identifying song structures while listening to music during the week.
