The Student and Tutor worked on piano skills, specifically reviewing right-hand technique and extensively practicing note identification in the bass clef using mnemonics. The session culminated in practicing left-hand accompaniment for a song and assigning homework to solidify bass clef reading and left-hand playing, with an option to select a new piece.

Student and Tutor worked on vocal techniques and song performance, starting with breath control exercises and vowel placement drills. They then engaged in an extensive practice session for the song "Lost Boy," focusing on differentiating between head and chest voice, lyrical interpretation, and pitch accuracy. The session ended with a plan to continue refining vocal placement and storytelling within the song.

The Student and Tutor practiced piano, starting with Sulfedio exercises to improve tempo consistency with a metronome. They then focused on a specific piece, reviewing and correcting notes and fingerings for both the right and left hands from bar 11. The session concluded with initial attempts at playing hands together, with plans to continue this practice next week.

Student and Tutor reviewed the Student's improved hand positions and technique using the poker chip method, applying it to "Howl's Moving Castle" and "Canon in D." They practiced "Canon in D" with a focus on combining hands and rhythm, and then dedicated time to sight-reading new material while continuing to use the poker chips for technique reinforcement. The Student was assigned to continue practicing "Canon in D" hands together and to use sight-reading for ongoing development.

Student and Tutor focused on vocal technique, starting with V and Z holds, firm tone exercises, and volume control. They then intensely practiced a new song, 'Lost Boy,' concentrating on developing a stable chest voice, improving breath support, and refining emotional delivery. Homework was assigned to practice specific song sections using 'V' or 'Z' vocalizations to build stability.

The Student and Tutor engaged in a Piano lesson focused on learning the song "Golden Hour." They worked on identifying left-hand notes and chords, practiced playing both hands together slowly, and discussed the importance of patient, accurate practice despite initial difficulties. The Student was assigned to practice specific measures with both hands for the next session.
