Singing concept taught by Cathy
The following is a summary of a lesson. Cathy and Kelley engaged in a vocal lesson, concentrating on breathing exercises, pitch matching, and singing scales to enhance Kelley's vocal technique and ear training. Kelley then applied these skills to "Do You Want to Build a Snowman," specifically focusing on pitch accuracy and the proper enunciation of diphthongs. For her ongoing practice, Kelley was assigned the cuckoo exercise, continued pitch matching, and the two verses of the song, with the ultimate goal of performing it first with piano accompaniment and then a cappella.

Cathy worked with a student from College Park High School on vocal exercises, breath control, and applying the 'twang' technique to a Lady Gaga song. The learner practiced vowel exercises, articulation, and bridging the gap between chest and head voice. Cathy assigned exercises to practice the 'twang' technique and sent a video tutorial for further study, with plans to continue working on the song next lesson.

The following is a summary of a lesson. Cathy Robinson conducted a vocal lesson with Kelley Sandaker, where they focused on vocal exercises designed to improve breath control, pitch matching, and muscle memory. Kelley worked on the "one, two, one," "eight, seven, eight," and "cuckoo" exercises, and started learning the song "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?"

During their recent vocal lesson, Cathy guided Annabel through vocal exercises, articulation drills, and the application of various vocal techniques to a Lady Gaga song. Annabel focused on breathing exercises, articulation, and arpeggios, specifically working on utilizing her nasal register to achieve higher notes. For homework, Cathy assigned staccato arpeggio practice and plans to develop further exercises to enhance Annabel's nasal register for their upcoming lesson.

During a singing lesson, Cathy guided Annabel through vocal warm-ups, articulation exercises involving a tongue twister, and pitch control using "coo" exercises and arpeggios. Their work then shifted to analyzing and practicing Lady Gaga's "Hold My Hand," with a particular emphasis on vowel modification and breath support to refine tone and seamlessly blend chest and head voice. For her next lesson, Annabel was tasked with practicing the arpeggios and applying the discussed vocal principles to the initial two sections of the song.
