YIMFOU Music and Zaida collaborated on enhancing her singing technique, with a particular emphasis on vowel pronunciation and achieving consistent resonance across her vocal range. During their lesson, Zaida received exercises designed to relax her tongue and throat. As homework, she was tasked with practicing singing in the bathroom to discover optimal resonance. The tutor also suggested that Zaida inquire about solo and ensemble programs at her school to gain valuable performance experience.

YIMFOU Music recently worked with Zaida on classical vocal technique, specifically honing in on the song 'Caro Mio Ben.' Their lesson involved a detailed analysis of the song's structure, lyrics, and dynamics, all aimed at enhancing Zaida's musical interpretation and control. For her next steps, Zaida was given the assignment to listen to Maria Callas singing 'O mio babbino caro,' carefully analyze its small details, and come prepared with an annotated printout of 'Caro Mio Ben.'

YIMFOU Music provided a singing lesson to a student from Arizona State University in Tempe, focusing on improving high notes and overall vocal technique. The lesson included warm-up exercises like lip trills and vocal fry, lyric translation for emotional understanding, and posture/breath awareness adjustments. YIMFOU Music addressed the soprano voice type, aiming to develop a "thicker" sound and improve breath support for high notes, while also acknowledging recent disruptions and praising progress.
