Explore new vocal styles with help from a Universidad de los Andes graduate who personalizes each session

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.

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.

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.

The Student and Tutor engaged in an introductory singing lesson, focusing on vocal warm-ups, corrective posture for singing, and diaphragmatic breathing techniques. They also started applying these skills to a song, 'At Last,' and discussed a future lesson plan that includes exploring vocal registers, tone development, song interpretation, and harmonizing.

The Student and Tutor worked on ear training, reviewing previous homework and assigning a new approach for an upcoming exercise. They selected "Open Arms" as a new song for vocal practice, focusing specifically on learning its bass melody. The session also introduced and practiced a new four-part vocal warm-up, emphasizing breath control and tone. For homework, the Student is to repeat the ear training exercise using an 'a' sound, practice the new warm-up daily, and practice the bass melody of "Open Arms" by listening, singing along, and singing alone.

The session focused on improving a student's vocal performance of a song, addressing issues with pitch accuracy, breath support, and vocal connection. They practiced specific techniques like high breathing, vowel modification, and using a straw and 'NG' sound for vocal exercises. The student was assigned to practice these techniques and was encouraged to send a recording for feedback.
