The Tutor offered to provide piano tracks for vocal exercises and song recommendations for future practice.

The Student and Tutor had an introductory singing lesson, focusing on foundational vocal techniques. They practiced warm-ups, diaphragmatic breathing, vowel production, pitch accuracy, staccato, legato, and arpeggio exercises. For homework, the Student was assigned to practice the arpeggio exercise daily with a provided recording and to memorize the lyrics of their chosen song.

The Student and Tutor focused on learning and practicing the blue scale across multiple positions on the guitar, noting its distinct sound. They also thoroughly reviewed sections of the 'Blue Bossa' piece, addressing left-hand fingering, transitions, and various chord shapes.
