The Student and Tutor focused on foundational singing techniques, including distinguishing between covered and resonant vocal sounds, and practicing consistent vocal cord connection. They identified the Student's comfortable singing range as F2 to B3 and determined optimal keys (B major/minor, G minor, D major) for the Student's voice. The session concluded with applying these vocal placement and resonance techniques to one of the Student's original songs, and the Student was advised to practice with the identified keys and apply the learned techniques to other songs for homework.

Student and Tutor worked on vocal warm-ups and practiced the song 'Shallow' with guitar accompaniment. They focused on improving intonation, adjusting pronunciation for better resonance, and coordinating vocal delivery with guitar playing. Homework was assigned to practice specific sections slowly, stopping at individual notes while playing chords.

Student and Tutor reviewed the Student's progress on "Take Me to Church," focusing on head voice and chest register. They performed vocal exercises for blending and resonance, then practiced specific song sections, breaking down melodic phrasing and lyrical emphasis. The Student was assigned to master a new section of the song, ensuring clear notes and consistent register shifts.

The Student and Tutor focused on improving vocal technique and applying it to the song 'Tomorrow.' They worked on various exercises designed to address tightness, breathiness, and vocal placement, with specific attention given to higher notes and achieving a consistent sound. The Tutor assigned homework involving experimenting with different vowel sounds to observe changes in vocal quality and placement.

The Student and Tutor worked on advanced vocal techniques, focusing on identifying and releasing vocal cord resistance to achieve a clean, resonant, and powerful sound without tension. They practiced exercises to differentiate between resistant, airy, and free vocal qualities, applying these concepts to the Student's song. The session also addressed instrumental mixing challenges and refined vocal phrasing and emotional delivery within the song. The Student was encouraged to practice awareness of vocal resistance and the "crying" exercise for vocal freedom.

Student and Tutor engaged in a singing lesson focusing on vocal warm-ups, pitch correction for lower notes, and interval training using major thirds. The core of the session involved detailed practice of the male harmonizing part for the song "Shallow," addressing challenges in pitch accuracy and avoiding blending with the higher female melody. The Tutor committed to providing new audio recordings of both the male and female parts for the Student's further practice.
