Combine theory lessons with performance skills in customized singing instruction that fits your goals

The Student and Tutor had an introductory singing lesson to discuss their musical backgrounds and the Tutor's teaching philosophy. The session included a comprehensive vocal assessment to determine the Student's range and identify areas for improvement in registers and airflow. For the next lesson, the Student needs to prepare a song and a straw for exercises.

The Student and Tutor had an introductory voice lesson focused on musical theater singing. The Tutor assessed the Student's vocal range, pitch accuracy, and introduced initial exercises for healthy belting technique and vocal placement. For future sessions, the Student was advised to prepare a song they are comfortable with and to have a straw for breath control exercises.

The Student and Tutor worked on advanced vocal techniques, including straw exercises for openness and breath support, head voice development, and strategies to unnasalize vocal production for a rounder tone. They then applied these concepts to sing a blues song, "Born Under a Bad Sign," focusing on tone, phrasing, and consistent vowel sounds. The Student plans to continue working on this song with their band.

Student and Tutor continued to develop vocal techniques, focusing on integrating breath control, resonance, and register transitions. They practiced straw exercises to refine airflow and pressure, then introduced an 'N-vowel' exercise to manage vocal tract shape across an octave. The session concluded with the application of these techniques to a song with a significant dynamic range, with plans to practice octave-spanning 'N' exercises and full songs on 'N' for homework.

The Tutor and Student worked on vocal techniques for singing "We Are The Champions" by Queen. They focused on achieving a full, chesty, and open vocal sound through exercises like nasal buzzing, vowel modification, and nose-plugging. The session concluded with the Student successfully applying these techniques to sing the entire song with increased power and clarity, with a reminder to continue practicing open vowels and chest voice.

The Tutor and Student addressed vocal management while experiencing allergies, focusing on techniques to thin vocal cords and maintain vocal ease. They practiced various singing exercises, including straw work for vocal stability and breath control, head voice crescendos, and specific "N" consonant exercises for resonance. The session concluded with applying vowel modification techniques to "For All We Know" by The Carpenters, with plans for the Student to practice these exercises and revisit a previous song next week.
