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

The session focused on vocal technique for singing, addressing issues of vocal strain and inconsistent support. The Student practiced exercises to isolate the soft palate, control airflow using glottal stops, and utilize a straw for both head and chest voice development. The Tutor will provide practice tracks for these exercises as follow-up.

Student and Tutor worked on vocal technique, focusing on isolating soft palate movement through hum-to-V exercises and maintaining a forward tongue position during siren drills. The Student then applied these concepts while singing a song, achieving a more open and effortless sound for high notes. The Tutor recommended practicing the hum-to-V exercise and wide-open vowel sirens with consistent tongue placement for homework.

The Student and Tutor focused on vocal technique, practicing exercises for breath support using the solar plexus and diaphragm. They worked on scales with different phonemes and utilized straw exercises to develop even airflow and vocal consistency. The session also involved applying these techniques to sing a song, and the Tutor plans to create specific practice tracks for the Student.

The Tutor and Student focused on extending vocal range and improving voice support, particularly in the higher registers. They practiced specific exercises for soft palate lift and larynx control, and worked on seamlessly transitioning between head voice and chest voice with minimal pressure. The Tutor will create and send practice tracks to reinforce these new techniques for the Student's independent practice.

The Student and Tutor focused on advanced vocal techniques, including developing a stronger mix voice and opening up the belt through specific exercises. They then conducted a detailed mock audition for a musical theatre song, integrating character analysis, acting choices, and physical staging to refine the performance for an upcoming audition.

The Student and Tutor reviewed the Student's effective self-learning process for music and then moved into vocal warm-ups, focusing on legato lip trills, clearing up the head voice, and smooth register transitions. They applied these advanced techniques to the song "New Money," working on run clarity, articulation, and reducing nasality by lifting the soft palate. The Student also has a Great Gatsby audition video to record.
