What to practice: “Shallow”
How to practice it most effectively: practice singing chorus like we discussed; sing “ha” for each syllable first, using the diaphragm, then sing one “ha” per phrase, working to maintain momentum and breath support. Also listen to recording to familiarize with notes in the ‘bridge’ section (the wooah’s)
See you this Sunday at 2:30pm for a m-u lesson.

What to practice: “Happier” on piano
How to practice it most effectively: follow your sheet with the notes we wrote down today! Next lesson we will finish writing the notes for the whole song. Practice at home by putting a sticker/tape with ‘C’ on middle C and then you can find the rest of the notes from there.
