Guitar concept taught by Richard
Ric Ricardo led a vocal lesson with an individual residing in Mordecai, focusing on vocal exercises and three specific songs: "13," "Easy on Me," and "So Much More Than This." During their time, the primary goal was to enhance vibrato, breath control, and vocal intensity, with particular attention paid to the choruses and bridge of "Easy on Me." For homework, the student was tasked with continuing practice on the exercises and songs, emphasizing the development of power and intensity in higher notes and sustained phrases.
