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

Student and Tutor worked on vocal warm-ups focusing on breath control and diaphragmatic support. They practiced speaking phrases with varying energy and then applied these concepts to singing exercises on specific notes, distinguishing between chest and head voice. The session concluded with the student practicing sections of a song, focusing on maintaining vocal registers and achieving smooth transitions, with a slight adjustment to future class timing.

The Student and Tutor worked on advanced piano technique, practicing various sections of a piece (bars 0-24, 25-62, 63-80, 84-97, 98-109, 101-103) at increasing metronome speeds. They focused on rhythmic accuracy, dynamics, finger placement for difficult transitions, and maintaining musical character. The Student received a detailed practice plan for the upcoming week, including target BPMs for different sections and guidance on practicing without a metronome for expressive parts, with an overall goal of 145 BPM for the main body of the song.

Student and Tutor reviewed existing piano pieces, "Song from A Secret Garden" and "The Swan," focusing on achieving accuracy and incorporating dynamics with a metronome and pedal. They then began a new piano piece, "Sulfedio," identifying its key signature and practicing the initial bars with specific hand coordination and note recognition. For homework, the Student will practice the new piece (bars 1-6) and work on C minor scales, triads, and arpeggios, in addition to continued practice on the previous pieces.

The session focused on vocal technique, including exercises to refine note accuracy within scales, differentiate between head and chest voice, and improve overall vocal range and agility. The Student also practiced the song "Stay" by Rihanna, working specifically on rhythm and timing. For homework, the Student was assigned to listen to the instrumental version of the song, paying close attention to the piano chords and vocal entry points to enhance rhythmic precision.

Student and Tutor focused on vocal warm-ups, breath control, and speech coordination, including S-holds, SH-holds, and V-holds. They practiced dynamic control and explored vocal registers, specifically chest, head, and mixed voice, applying these techniques to the song "Driver's License." The Student's homework involves continuing to practice chest voice exercises on scales to improve consistent access.

The Student and Tutor engaged in a singing lesson focused on vocal warm-ups, breath control, and exploring different vocal registers. They practiced distinguishing and bridging chest and head voice, improving dynamic control, and applying these techniques to songs like 'Driver's License' and 'Deja Vu'. The Student received specific warm-up and scale exercises to practice for the next two weeks to further develop a comfortable singing chest voice.
