Uncover your vocal strengths in lessons that help you find your sound and explore your musical identity

During a singing lesson, Tzytle and Cayla focused on integrating Cayla's speaking voice with her singing voice, specifically targeting lower registers. Their work aimed to diminish the perception of singing as separate from talking, utilizing vocal fry and various vowel exercises to explore different sounds and mouth positions. Cayla's assignment involved practicing "You'll Be Back" from Hamilton, with an emphasis on speaking the lyrics on pitch to solidify the connection between her speaking and singing voices.

Tzytle guided Svetlana through a vocal lesson, concentrating on exercises to release tension and enhance her vocal delivery, particularly for the song "The Way I Am." Svetlana practiced tongue exercises, yodeling, and vocal fry to promote relaxation and explore different vocal registers. The instruction also addressed softening 'R' sounds for a more natural presentation. A follow-up lesson has been scheduled for two weeks from now.

Tzytle and Jotham's lesson concentrated on vocal warm-ups, register transitions, and vocal fry techniques. Jotham also dedicated time to practicing a Spanish song, with a focus on breath control, vowel pronunciation, and embodying the singer's persona. For their next lesson, Jotham will be learning another song by the same artist.

During a singing lesson, Tzytle and Svetlana reviewed Svetlana's recent audition and explored strategies for finding a suitable choir. Their work focused on refining vocal technique, specifically breath control and chest resonance. They began applying these skills to the aria 'I Know That My Redeemer Liveth' from Handel's Messiah, with Svetlana assigned to practice its first section for their next lesson.

Tzytle Steinman guided Jotham Gracia Rojas through vocal exercises designed to enhance breath control and support for his singing. During their lesson, Jotham specifically practiced engaging his abdominal muscles and maintaining an open chest, applying these newfound techniques to the song 'Beautiful Things.' They have arranged to meet again next Thursday to further develop these skills.

Tzytle conducted a singing lesson with Svetlana, preparing her for a choir audition. The session focused on refining vocal technique, enhancing sight-reading skills—specifically rhythm, key signatures, and note accuracy—and cultivating emotional expression. Throughout their time together, they engaged in warm-ups, vocal exercises, and intensive work on the audition piece. Tzytle offered consistent encouragement and practical strategies for Svetlana to navigate difficulties. A significant part of the lesson involved exploring the song's deeper meaning and emotional core, with particular attention paid to how she could convey passion through her facial expressions. A subsequent lesson has been arranged.
