Work with a Berklee-trained coach offering vocal training that adapts to your talents and goals

A vocal lesson focused on refining techniques for several songs. The learner, who hails from Englewood, worked on 'Adore You,' concentrating on pitch and emotional projection, and 'Video Games,' emphasizing breath control and lyrical interpretation. They practiced singing with the original recording and explored emotional connection through visualization. A new song, 'Killing Boys,' was introduced to challenge their vocal range and breath control. For homework, they were assigned to focus on the emotional aspect of 'Adore You' and practice its chorus.

Nicole and George worked on George's breathing techniques to improve his singing, focusing on diaphragmatic breathing exercises. They applied these techniques to the songs "Gravity" and "Love Story," with Nicole providing exercises to help George control his breath during faster-paced sections. Nicole will send George lyric sheets with breath marks for both songs, and George will practice the breathing exercises daily.

During a recent lesson, Nicole and Joseph focused on Joseph's breathing and vocal techniques, specifically for the songs "Something in the Orange" and "505." Joseph concentrated on diaphragmatic breathing, eliminating unnecessary "h" sounds, and relaxing his throat when hitting high notes. Nicole plans to send him a lyric sheet with breath marks and notes from their time together.

During their singing lesson, Nicole and Arianna concentrated on vocal techniques like breath control, jaw placement, and mixed voice, applying them to the songs "Grenade" and "Someone Like You." Arianna specifically aimed to transition to mixed voice to improve her high notes and reduce throat tension. Nicole advised them to practice the songs and memorize melodies, promising new exercises for mixed voice and relaxation in their upcoming lesson.

During a vocal lesson, Nicole assisted Carmel in refining her singing techniques, particularly emphasizing diaphragmatic breathing for better breath control and reduced vocal strain. Carmel put these techniques into practice with the songs "Killing Me Softly" and "Greatest Love of All," focusing on throat relaxation and executing high notes more effectively. Nicole advised Carmel to continue practicing the breathing exercises and songs throughout the week.

The following is a summary of a lesson. Nicole coached Lexa on vocal techniques, concentrating on breath control, pitch accuracy, and emotional expression across two songs, "Video Games" and "Adore You." For her continued practice, Lexa was tasked with watching live performances of "Video Games" and practicing with the original track of "Adore You." Nicole also committed to sending Lexa lyric sheets marked with breath cues to aid her breathing exercises.
