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

Student and Tutor worked on advanced singing techniques, focusing on larynx and tongue positioning, soft palate control, and vowel modification for improved vocal tone and high-note delivery. They applied these exercises to a chosen song, practicing specific phrases to integrate the new techniques. For follow-up, the Student was encouraged to continue practicing tongue and soft palate awareness.

The Student and Tutor continued to work on vocal technique and range expansion, focusing on engaging the vocal cords more directly and maintaining a full voice in higher registers. They practiced warm-up exercises like lip trills and a specific "H. Hey" technique, then applied these principles to the song "Lost in the Woods." The session also explored methods to reduce nasality and encourage vocal openness using techniques like nose-plugging and straw exercises. The Tutor noted significant progress in the Student's upper range and commitment to vocal exercises, and they discussed adjusting the next session's timing.

Student and Tutor discussed preparation for upcoming choir auditions, reviewing vocal warm-ups, site-reading strategies, and specific performance pieces. They practiced vocal exercises focusing on chord closure, breath consistency, and expanding vocal range, then applied these techniques to challenging sections of 'Natami Osaria' and 'Dark Hills'. The Student agreed to send sheet music PDFs for review before the next session.

Student and Tutor worked on fundamental vocal techniques, focusing on breath control through solar plexus and deep diaphragmatic engagement. They practiced pitch exercises with core support and explored straw phonation for vocal resistance training. A key exercise involved developing super glottal pressure for improved speaking clarity, which the Student applied very effectively. The Tutor assigned these three main practice areas as homework.

The Student and Tutor worked on vocal warm-up techniques, particularly focusing on maintaining an even tone and agility through descending pitches using siren exercises. They practiced "Lady" by Styx, with specific attention to developing a soft, open head voice for high notes. The Student shared plans to practice specific genres for potential open mic performances during an upcoming trip.

Student and Tutor engaged in a singing lesson focused on vocal technique and audition preparation. They discussed acting through song, practiced vocal exercises to control larynx movement and vowel shapes, and applied these concepts to the song "Being Dead" from Beetlejuice for an upcoming audition. The Student also plans to perform the song for theater friends to gain confidence.
