Brandy Treadgold
Past Notes
March 9th, 2026
Brandy is unwell today, and won't be coming to lessons.
March 2nd, 2026
We did some scales at the piano and I suggested Brandy look for the app on the play store that shows the notes you're singing as horizontal lines (I don't know what Apple calls it). I did a search on the Apple store, though, and found this one:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vocal-pitch-monitor/id842218231
Maybe try installing that and see if it helps you practise not "swooping" into the first note of your scales?
After that, we sang through Before He Cheats, first with Carrie Underwood, and then with a Karaoke video.
Here's that video on YouTube:

This was Brandy's first lesson. We started at the piano and did some scales and range experiments to see how high and how low she could sing. Her range got bigger the more we sang, so part of that was just nerves.
I'm going to send a scale thing for her to practise with at home.
We then made a list of songs to work on, which she'll try to focus on memorizing the melody and lyrics to make it easier. Here's the list:
Brooks & Dunn - Boot Scootin' Boogie
Brooks & Dunn - Neon Moon
Johnny Cash - Ring Of Fire
Carrie Underwood - Before He Cheats
See you next time!
