Singing Lessons with California State University Sacramento Educator

Tiffany Case collaborated with KickStart Breakfast to enhance their vocal delivery of "Cowboy Take Me Away." During the lesson, the focus was on emotional interpretation, phonetic shaping, and pitch correction. Tiffany and the group pinpointed specific areas for improvement and explored vocal exercises designed to expand KickStart Breakfast's range without strain. For their next lesson, Tiffany assigned vocal exercises and phonetic breakdowns, also advising them to practice the song with an emphasis on breathing and relaxation.

Tiffany led a first singing lesson for a student from Mesa Community College, focusing on foundational techniques. The lesson covered breath control, articulation exercises, and phonetic shaping. The learner practiced the 4-4 breathing technique and tongue twisters, and they delved into the emotional context of "When I Was Your Man." For homework, the student was assigned daily breathing exercises, articulation practice, and listening to the song multiple times with an emphasis on breath awareness.

Tiffany conducted a vocal lesson with Austin, concentrating on vocal exercises, articulation, and breath control to refine his singing of "How to Save a Life." Austin engaged in practicing the song through karaoke, alongside the original artist's version, and unaccompanied, specifically applying reshaping techniques to boost resonance and airflow. For his homework, Austin is tasked with vocal warm-ups, meditation, tongue twisters, practicing particular sections of the song, and phonetic reshapings.

Tiffany worked with a learner from Tempe on vocal techniques for the song "Poor Unfortunate Souls," focusing on breath control, articulation, and character embodiment. The learner was assigned homework to practice breathing exercises with a metronome, explore Ursula's character through movement, and prioritize self-care. Tiffany also plans to send a phonetic breakdown of the song for further refinement.

During their vocal lesson, Tiffany guided Quinn through vocal techniques, articulation, and characterization for a song from 'Hazbin Hotel.' Quinn honed her skills by practicing scales, diction exercises, and the 'sip technique' to enhance vocal control and resonance. For homework, Quinn needs to analyze character objectives and emotions within the song, practice vocal warm-ups, and review a phonetic breakdown of the lyrics.

In a recent lesson, Tiffany collaborated with Brent and Rosie to refine their performance of 'Indigo,' specifically addressing pitch and timing. They meticulously analyzed chord progressions, vocal melodies, and harmonies, aiming to enhance their synchronization. Tiffany then provided the duo with targeted notes and exercises, designed to help them align their pitches and maintain consistent timing.
