Singing concept taught by Carrington
The Student and Tutor engaged in vocal exercises, focusing on scales and vowel shapes and breath control. The session then transitioned to working on a song, with a focus on lyric interpretation and emotional delivery by connecting specific body parts to the emotional intent of the song. The Tutor assigned the student to continue practicing the song.

Singing from Different Body Parts
Carrington and William collaborated on refining vocal techniques, specifically focusing on lip trills, register transitions, and legato phrasing. 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.'
