Learn jazz, blues, and country vocals in a soulful setting guided by an RNCM graduate

The Student practiced vocal exercises to improve range and placement, then worked on the song "My Mind", focusing on runs, riffs, and breath control. The Tutor provided feedback on phrasing, diction, and storytelling, and assigned the student to focus on half the song for next time, aiming for accurate melody and emotional expression.

The student and tutor worked on vocal techniques to improve breath control, pitch accuracy, and vocal projection. Exercises focused on achieving a 'thick for vocal cords' sound and using proper belly support. The student practiced applying these techniques to the song 'Sign of the Times' and was assigned continued practice with sirens as a warm-up exercise.

The student worked on vocal exercises to improve breath control, vocal cord engagement, and voice placement (chest, nasal, and mix). They applied these techniques to a song and discussed how to identify vocal placements in other singers' performances. The student was encouraged to practice siren exercises and explore songs by specific artists.

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.
