Music concepts taught by Sara
The student and tutor worked on identifying musical notes and their accidentals (sharps and flats) using a piano app. They then applied this to vocal pitch accuracy and practicing singing in harmony, starting with simple exercises and discussing future goals for advanced harmonic singing.
Introduction to Vocal Harmonies and Canons
Vibrato and Vocal Richness
Understanding Musical Notes and Accidentals
Piano App for Pitch Practice
The Tutor and Student worked on vocal technique, focusing on breath support, resonance, and pitch accuracy. They practiced song variations, analyzed different musical arrangements, and refined rhythmic execution with a plan for the student to prepare variations as homework.
Vocal Resonance and Breath Support
Vowel Modification and Tongue Placement
Vocal Agility and Melodic Accuracy
Vocal Variation Structure and Progression
The student and tutor focused on vocal warm-up exercises, particularly breath control, sustained sound production, and pitch accuracy. They also began working on a new song, emphasizing its rhythmic and lyrical challenges, and established homework to practice memorizing the melody and rhythm.
Breath Control Techniques
Rhythmic Precision and Syncopation
Pitch Accuracy and Vocal Agility
Vocal Registers and Mixed Voice
Vocal Resonance and Articulation
The Student and Tutor reviewed vocal techniques, focusing on diction and confidence. They then used a tuner app to practice pitch accuracy on the bass and middle harmony parts of 'Open Arms,' identifying specific notes and correcting deviations. The session concluded with an introduction to basic music theory, covering the staff, clefs, and the concept of sharps and flats, with a plan for a theory quiz in the next lesson.

Targeted Vocal Techniques for Pitch Stability
Fundamentals of Musical Notation: Staff & Clefs
Understanding Musical Notes: Sharps (#) and Flats (♭)
Developing Harmony Skills: Singing the Middle Voice
The Student and Tutor practiced vocal technique, concentrating on identifying and refining melodic variations (riffs and runs) within a song. They worked on breaking down these variations into individual notes using a numbering system, focusing on legato phrasing, pitch accuracy, and breath support. The Student's homework is to practice these identified variations with the numbering system and record them.
Musicality & Audience Awareness in Riffing
Strategic Approaches to Vocal Variation
Legato and Staccato Articulation
Breath Control & Core Stability for Dynamic Riffs
Dissecting Vocal Riffs for Precision
The Student and Tutor worked on advanced singing techniques, including breath control, vocal connection, and pitch accuracy, primarily using the 'Open Arms' melody. They practiced specific exercises like 'punching' to improve breath support and phrasing, and initiated ear training for precise pitch matching. The Student was assigned to practice these techniques and download a 'tuner' app for next week's session.
