Singing concept taught by Kristopher
No city specified. Kristopher guided Hannah through a guitar lesson, focusing on the song "Indigo" by breaking down its chord progressions across the verse, pre-chorus, chorus, bridge, and interlude. They also practiced "Amazing Grace" to illustrate 1-4-5 chord progressions and various strumming patterns. Hannah reviewed the A minor pentatonic scale, and Kristopher suggested continuing with "Indigo" and for her to send him any other songs she'd like to work on.

Kristopher guided a student from Indian River State College in Port St Lucie through a review of musical scales and modes, focusing on pattern recognition and their relationships in different keys, specifically C, A, G, and D. They practiced linking modes and identifying key intervals within each scale. Kristopher suggested practicing scales in thirds and focusing on number-based recall rather than note names. Plans were made to continue interval-based exercises in the next lesson; however, the lesson after next will be skipped due to the student's vacation.

Kristopher worked with Kenneth during their guitar lesson, focusing on barre chords, pentatonic scales, and three-note-per-string scales. They emphasized proper finger placement and thumb positioning. Kenneth also dedicated time to the song "Mystical Magical," practicing its chord changes and strumming patterns.

Kristopher and Reilly delved into guitar concepts like chord inversions, key signatures, and modal playing. Reilly's homework involves recording a short piece that begins in a natural key, shifts to a different mode, and then reverts to the natural key. Kristopher will provide a key signature sheet and intends to use a looper in their upcoming lesson to further illustrate modal concepts.

Kristopher guided Bodhi through vocal exercises and interval training using solfège, applying these techniques to a Bruno Mars song. During the lesson, Bodhi diligently practiced ascending and descending scales in various keys, honing his ability to recognize and sing intervals.
