Music Lessons by Tutor from Royal Conservatory - Theory, Composition, Production

The Student and Tutor practiced various piano scales, including G major, E minor, F major, and D minor, reviewing the concept of relative minors. They also worked on sight-reading exercises with pieces like "Joy" and "Undantino," focusing on note values and technique. The main piece, "Jurassic Park," was broken down, with the first line played hands together and the second line practiced with the right hand, including detailed finger numbering. Homework was assigned to practice these scales and the "Jurassic Park" lines.

The Student and Tutor worked on vocal warm-ups and practiced two songs, "Apex Predator" and Olivia Rodrigo's "Deja Vu." They focused on developing chest voice, mixed voice, and head voice registers, improving breath support with lip trills, and conveying emotional dynamics in performance. For follow-up, the Student was assigned daily lip trill practice to enhance breath control.

The Student and Tutor focused on advanced vocal warm-ups, emphasizing breath control, transitioning between vocal registers (chest, head, and falsetto), and developing lightness in higher notes. They applied these techniques by practicing a high-range song, "Home Wrecker" by Sombr, which the Student was assigned to listen to for homework to prepare for future practice. They also discussed the importance of hydration and consistent vocal exercises for vocal health and strength.

The Student and Tutor focused on vocal warm-ups and extensively practiced the song "Apex Predator," concentrating on developing chest voice and projection. They also discussed the difference between head and chest voice and used acting techniques to enhance vocal delivery. The Tutor assigned finding new pop songs for future lessons to balance the current challenging repertoire.

Student and Tutor focused on refining piano technique for "Canon in D" and "Pasia," incrementally increasing metronome speeds and targeting specific practice areas. They selected "The Swan" and "Song from a Secret Garden" as new pieces to learn, with the Tutor providing sheet music. The session also involved substantial sight-reading practice, where the Tutor advised the Student on strategies to improve accuracy by focusing on key signatures and hand movements for homework.

The Student and Tutor engaged in vocal warm-ups focusing on five-note scales across six different keys to improve pitch and key awareness. They then practiced a song by Rihanna, transitioning from singing along to the original track to a karaoke version, with a strong emphasis on developing rhythmic accuracy using a metronome. The session concluded with a plan to introduce more rhythm-specific exercises in upcoming lessons to build on the Student's progress.
