When students sing and perform to record, 2-day class has only choice to choose the song from odd lessons. This is due to the complexity of the 2-day class structure. It is highly recommended to have a native teacher teach the first class on Tuesday so that a native teacher can cover the 3 rd class on Tuesday for recording.
