Eli Nelson coached an individual on singing "River," a lesson that focused on breath support and vocal techniques to avoid constriction, especially in higher ranges. The learner, who resides in Downtown Dallas, also worked on integrating guitar playing with singing while maintaining proper support and emotional expression. For homework, the individual was assigned to practice the song, concentrating on releasing tension and connecting with the lyrics.

Eli and Dean, musicians collaborating remotely, dedicated their lesson to refining vocal technique and song performance. They specifically honed in on rhythm while working on 'River' and made adjustments to the key and pitch for 'Love Story.' The duo also explored emotional delivery in another unnamed song. Looking ahead, they planned to tackle 'Stop This Train' and opted to postpone 'Gravity' for a future lesson.
