Nam sure makes a lot of faces! Looks like he changed his podium signature as well as his outfit. Tonight, he’s wearing a black dress shirt with a dark brown jacket. I like this combo and it’s pretty unique! Lianne seems like the coolest piano teacher! I love her bright pink shirt and zip jacket. She also added a necklace and multiple earrings. I like Mark’s tiny-polka-dot shirt under this grey sweater!
