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

The Student and Tutor focused on advanced vocal techniques to improve range and control, including exercises for larynx stability, resistance to airflow, and precise coordination between head and chest voice. They applied these techniques while practicing the song 'Yesterday,' addressing specific phrases and breathing. The Tutor provided practice tracks for the Student to work on extending their falsetto range and maintaining a low larynx.

The Student and Tutor worked on advanced singing techniques, focusing on differentiating between yelling and belting, and calibrating the middle voice for efficient higher notes. They practiced 'th' and 'ba' exercises to ensure smooth transitions, optimal mouth shape, and proper breath management, applying these concepts to a song. The Tutor recommended continuing the 'th' drill to improve breath efficiency and vocal stability.

Student and Tutor engaged in a detailed discussion about effective practice methodologies, focusing on the distinction between sensation and efficiency in vocal and physical training. They then worked through several singing exercises designed to improve chest and head voice coordination, airflow management, and the flexibility of vocal transitions. As homework, the Student was tasked with continuing these vocal exercises and beginning to learn a song by first focusing on its melody without words, in preparation for the Tutor's brief unavailability.

The Student and Tutor reviewed the student's progress for upcoming regional choir auditions, addressing specific vocal challenges like falsetto 'rustiness'. They practiced targeted vocal exercises to improve falsetto and smooth transitions between vocal registers, then extensively worked on difficult sections of Ralph Vaughan Williams' 'Beat Drums' to refine articulation, relaxation, and high notes. The session also initiated practice on Mozart's 'Kyrie', focusing on vowel purity, and noted a third piece for future review.

Student and Tutor focused on refining vocal techniques, including tongue positioning, jaw relaxation, and continuous airflow, through warm-ups and targeted exercises. They practiced applying these techniques to the song "Dancing Queen," with an emphasis on sustaining vowels for improved vocal delivery. For ongoing practice, the Tutor recommended working on "The Winner Takes It All."

Student and Tutor discussed the Student's recent vocal performance, focusing on improved awareness of larynx and tongue placement, and more efficient air usage. They practiced new vocal exercises designed to coordinate chest and head voice transitions, stabilize pitch in high registers, and reduce nasality. The Student will receive tracks for specific coordination exercises and plans to apply these techniques to "Winner Takes It All."
