I specialize in offering lessons in singing genres like Pop, Jazz, Blues, and Country, catering to a wide range of musical interests. To elevate the learning experience, I leverage various tech tools such as DAWs, digital sheet music databases, ear training software, karaoke apps, looping software, and more. These tools play a crucial role in honing vocal skills, enhancing pitch accuracy, and delivering instant feedback to students.

Singing concept taught by Youdan
The Student and Tutor worked on vocal techniques to improve vocal cord closure, breath support, and projection. They practiced exercises for a 'thick' vocal sound and applied these techniques to the song "Sign of the Times," focusing on improving the chorus. The tutor assigned continued practice of the techniques and the song, emphasizing the importance of siren warm-ups and breath control.

The session focused on improving vocal technique, including breath control, vocal placement (chest, nasal, and mix voice), and thick vocal cord usage. The student practiced warm-up exercises and applied techniques to a challenging song, focusing on specific sections and transitions. The tutor recommended listening to Eloise, Lyanna Havas, and Alicia Keys for further study and encouraged continued practice with sirens and thick vocal cord exercises.

Youdan and Audrey engaged in vocal exercises such as lip flutters, dog breathing, and sirens, aiming to enhance breath control and vocal placement. During the lesson, Audrey skillfully applied these techniques to Corinne Bailey Rae's "Like a Star," concentrating on dynamics and groove. She also commenced work on Madonna's "Like a Prayer," specifically identifying nasal voice placement. For her practice, Audrey was tasked with continuing the siren exercise and actively listening for various vocal placements in songs.

The following is a summary of a lesson. Youdan and Signe worked on enhancing vocal techniques, concentrating on breath control, vocal cord closure, and mouth shape relaxation. Signe applied these methods to jazz phrasing with Lady Gaga's "That's Life" and was encouraged to explore artists like Lake Street Dive and Raye. For the next lesson, Signe will choose a song to learn, potentially from Raye's album or by continuing with the Lady Gaga piece, and their next lesson is scheduled for Sunday at 1:30.

Youdan worked with Swastika on vocal techniques, including staccato, breath control, and vocal cord closure. During their lesson, they used exercises like duck breathing, lip trills, and sirens, applying these to the songs "Sign of the Times" and "Dress" to focus on dynamics and emotional expression. Swastika was assigned practice exercises to improve her vocal cord control, nasal resonance, and breath support, with a specific focus on differentiating between throat and belly support.
