They applied these skills to the songs 'Feel the Rainfall' and 'Back at One,' with a strong emphasis on storytelling and emotional expression. For his continued development, William's assignments include practicing his falsetto, further learning 'Feel the Rainfall,' and applying the 'sing high, think low' concept to 'His Eye Is on the Sparrow.'
