Guitar concept taught by Hugh
Hugh Wheatley and Carolyn worked on vocal technique using Dua Lipa's "Be the One," focusing on chest voice, phrasing, and hitting high notes. They also discussed music theory related to identifying keys and warmed up with scales in A major. They agreed to continue lessons at the same time next week.

Hugh taught Carolyn (No Name) a music lesson, focusing on the Biffy Clyro song "Opposites." They worked on vocal warm-ups, identifying notes, and singing in a lower register, eventually transposing the song to a more comfortable key. Carolyn was assigned to practice singing and playing "Opposites" in the key of G and to listen to Biffy Clyro's "Opposites" album.

Hugh Wheatley coached Caroline on singing Bruno Mars' "Talking to the Moon," focusing on vocal techniques such as transitioning between chest and head voice, improving runs, and conveying emotion. Caroline practiced the verse and chorus, receiving feedback on pitch, tone, and breath control.
