Work on classical and pop vocals in sessions that naturally blend both styles to suit your tone

During a recent vocal lesson, Mirriam guided Genesis through vocal exercises and techniques in preparation for an upcoming church performance. Their focus was on register transitions, particularly accessing and sustaining high notes in songs like "Above All," and they also began exploring a new song in Spanish. Mirriam provided Genesis with specific warm-ups and recommended the App Companist for practicing scales and arpeggios, and suggested listening to "Holy" by Stephanie Gretzinger as a reference for high notes.

Mirriam Reyes worked with an individual from South Bend on vocal exercises and practiced singing the song "Oceans," focusing on breath control and vocal projection. They encountered technical difficulties while trying to share the learner's original song. They agreed to work on the song "One Passion" by Dunsin Oyekan in the next lesson.

Mirriam worked with Bo during a lesson focused on improving her singing and guitar strumming for a mashup of "Stay With Me" and "Skinny Love." The primary goal was to correct flat notes and ensure better synchronization between her strumming and vocals. Mirriam suggested Bo reach out to her guitar teacher for help with the "Skinny Love" portion's strumming and to continue practicing the techniques they discussed.

The coach worked with a student from Greensboro College in College Hill on vocal techniques, including breath control, vocal register transitions, and harmonization, using specific worship songs as practice material. The learner shared recordings of their performances for review and discussed challenges related to vocal stamina during extended worship lessons. They planned to work on riffs and techniques to sing high notes without strain in future lessons.

Mirriam guided Grace through a vocal lesson, focusing on exercises, breath control, and musical theater repertoire. Grace practiced excerpts from 'Seventeen,' 'If I Loved You,' 'In My Own Little Corner,' and 'Point of No Return,' receiving feedback on her technique and interpretation. For continued development, Mirriam assigned listening to 'Far Away,' recommended the 'Appcompanist' app for warm-ups, and asked Grace to send her top three song choices before their next lesson.

Mirriam guided Daniela through a vocal lesson, focusing on techniques like register identification, breath control, and pitch practice. Daniela applied these skills while singing "Make Someone Happy" and "Another Suitcase in Another Hall," emphasizing pitch accuracy and musicality. For her next steps, Mirriam will provide Daniela with a treble clef cheat sheet to assist her in playing piano notes, and Daniela was assigned to practice her songs for her professor.
