Singing concept taught by Krissan
The session focused on music theory, including harmony, melody, rhythm, keyboard layout, intervals, key signatures, major scales, scale degrees, and chord construction (major, minor, diminished, and augmented). The student practiced constructing major scales, identifying scale degrees, and building major, minor, diminished, and augmented chords. The student was assigned homework to practice these concepts, and the possibility of combining music theory with singing techniques in future lessons was discussed.

Ma. Krissan Tan led a vocal lesson with Trace, delving into various singing techniques. The instruction focused on resonance, exploring different vocal registers—specifically chest, head, and falsetto—and emphasizing core engagement. Trace practiced arpeggios and performed two songs, receiving constructive feedback on both his interpretation and vocal delivery. For his next steps, Ma. Krissan Tan challenged Trace to seek out more demanding songs and to develop a unique rendition of Daniel Caesar's 'Best Part,' incorporating intricate riffs and runs.
