Singing Lessons from BIMM University Educator: Vocal Training, Musicality

The session focused on vocal exercises and techniques to improve breath control, articulation, and vocal range. The Student practiced various breathing exercises, sirens, and articulation drills, including a challenging phrase to enhance enunciation. The Tutor assigned continued practice of these exercises, with the addition of a new vocal exercise for the next session, and encouraged the Student to focus on vocal placement during independent singing practice.

Mia and Beverly's vocal lesson centered on exercises and techniques for an upcoming audition. They practiced breathing exercises, vocal warm-ups, vibrato control, and five-note scales with slides. Beverly was assigned C major scales and vibrato exercises for homework, and they plan to start the audition song next week.

During their vocal lesson, Mia Taylor and Jedeo delved into topics like vocal health, warm-up routines, and breath control techniques. Jedeo actively practiced box breathing, staccato exercises, and scales, aiming to enhance his vocal range and support, with a particular focus on achieving smooth transitions between chest and head voice. As a follow-up, Jedeo received a scale exercise to practice on the piano, ranging from A3 to A4, designed to refine his vocal control and help him identify the vocal flip.

Mia Taylor conducted a vocal lesson with Jedeo, focusing on improving breath control, resonance, and pitch accuracy through various exercises. Jedeo engaged in box breathing, staccato breathing, humming, lip drills, and call-and-response. Mia assigned sirens for Jedeo to practice during the week and plans to introduce twang and continue five-note scales in their upcoming lesson.

During a recent vocal lesson, Mia guided Anne through warm-up exercises, emphasizing breath control techniques such as box breathing and staccato breathing. They also focused on shifting vocal resonance to the nasal cavity using 'twang' to prevent throat strain, with Anne specifically tasked to practice nasal resonance for homework, learning to differentiate it from throat-based singing.

During their vocal lesson, Mia and Beverly focused on breathing exercises, vocal warm-ups, and scales, specifically working on transitioning into head voice and lightening vocal tone. Beverly received instruction on utilizing a piano for scale practice and was assigned independent exercises. They arranged their next lesson for the same time in two weeks.
