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

The Student and Tutor focused on improving the Student's nasal voice for singing, particularly for hitting high notes with more power and less tension. They practiced various vocal exercises for breath control, pitch accuracy, and smooth transitions between vocal registers, applying these techniques to a pop song for the Student's upcoming recital. The Tutor recommended daily practice of nasal voice exercises to build muscle memory.

Student and Tutor focused on vocal warm-ups and advanced singing techniques, including breath control, vocal projection from the nasal area, and achieving a "thick" vocal quality. They practiced exercises to improve pitch accuracy and explored suitable Ariana Grande songs, ultimately deciding on "Can't Be Friends" for future practice due to its more manageable tempo. The importance of mouth opening for vocal clarity and rhythmic precision was also discussed.

The session focused on advanced vocal techniques, including mix voice development, projection, and smooth voice transitions. The Student practiced "Starry Starry Night" with an emphasis on improvisation and dynamic contrast, and revisited a previously learned song, "Look My Way," to address challenging high notes. Homework was assigned to practice specific high-note sections using siren exercises and to select a new pop song for the next lesson.

The session focused on vocal warm-ups and applying new techniques to a pop song. The Student practiced breath control, identifying a suitable key, and consciously transitioning between different vocal placements (chest, nasal, mix, and head voice) to achieve a more relaxed, pop vocal style. The Tutor assigned completing the current song and encouraged exploring new songs and styles as homework.

The Student and Tutor focused on advanced vocal techniques, applying them to the song "Less Than a Lover." They worked on improving nasal voice placement, vocal thickness, breath support, and pitch stability, noting significant progress in the Student's vocal control. For homework, the Student will continue practicing the song and choose a new one by Ariana Grande for the next lesson to further challenge their vocal range and technique.

The Student and Tutor worked on vocal warm-ups, including lip trills and siren exercises, to address vocal tension and a sore throat while improving breath support. They then began learning a new song, focusing on melody, vocal technique, and practicing specific phrases with emphasis on mixed voice and diction. The Student will continue to practice the song's melody and breath positions for the next session.
