The Student and Tutor conducted an initial vocal assessment, determining the Student's comfortable range and identifying their singing scale as B major. They practiced vocal exercises to improve breath support and vocal placement, then applied these techniques by singing sections of "A Thousand Years." The Tutor subsequently presented a comprehensive curriculum for future vocal development, covering technical skills, music theory, and performance aspects.

The Student and Tutor focused on practicing a specific song, starting with identifying its correct vocal scale and key (E, F sharp, E). They worked through various phrases and addressed the challenges of a complex melodic section called 'Ghana.' The session concluded with homework for the Student to listen to the song repeatedly to master its intricate parts.

The session centered on foundational piano instruction, where the Tutor introduced the C major scale and demonstrated correct finger positioning and exercises. The Student actively practiced these techniques, and follow-up homework includes practicing the learned exercises and compiling a list of songs they wish to learn.

The Student and Tutor discussed the Student's extensive background in Hindustani classical singing and their goal of transitioning to formal keyboard instruction with proper notation and two-handed technique. They briefly practiced basic `Sa Re Ga Ma` on the keyboard, and the Tutor outlined a curriculum focusing on foundational keyboard skills, finger exercises, and learning to play various songs, including bhajans.

The Student and Tutor focused on vocal practice, addressing challenges in maintaining scale consistency during exercises and song practice. The Student practiced specific melodic sequences and lyrics, utilizing recordings of the Tutor's vocals for guided self-correction. For homework, the Student will practice with these recordings and refine techniques, with a new song planned for the next session.

The Student and Tutor practiced vocal exercises and specific song segments, addressing challenges in descending notes and smooth transitions. They discussed effective practice techniques, including the use of a tanpura for pitch reference, and clarified the professional practice of adjusting song pitch to suit individual vocal ranges. The Tutor will provide a recorded song segment for the Student's continued practice.
