I will do an initial coaching with each of you, where we’ll cover the notes, rhythms, etc. and set the foundation for your ONE in-class coaching with Mr. Adams. If you need it, I will record the vocal line onto your personal device.

Please note:

·        This preparation should help you in time for your in-class coaching with Mr. Adams

·        Once you have chosen your MT selection, you MAY NOT switch it.

·        Each song selection is either a 16-bar or 32-bar cut, NOT the full song. You will study only the song cut.
