Singing concept taught by Hugh
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.

Vocal Warm-ups - Lip Roll
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. Hugh sent Caroline a karaoke version of the song to practice replicating Bruno Mars' vocal style and techniques.

Hugh Wheatley and Carolyn (No Name) engaged in a music lesson focusing on vocal exercises and guitar techniques. Carolyn practiced scales, chord transitions (F, B, G#m, A, Dm), and worked on the song "Sonnet" by The Verve. Hugh assigned "Sonnet" as homework, providing a transposed version for guitar practice and vocal study, and created a practice video focusing on ascending F-shaped chords with the Spanish major scale.

On July 17, 2025, Hugh gave Carolyn (No Name) a guitar and vocal lesson. They discussed car trouble and music (Billie Eilish, Oasis), analyzed and practiced Billie Eilish songs on guitar, and worked on Carolyn's vocal technique, focusing on pitch, tone, breath control, and vulnerable delivery. They also addressed performance anxiety and discussed the meaning of "roster" vs. "rotor."
