Guitar Lessons with Theory Integration and Technique Focus | Tutor from University of Port Harcourt

Hopez and Jeff worked on vocal warm-ups using solfège, explored chest, neck, and head voices, and practiced "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" to differentiate vocal registers. Jeff received breathing exercises to improve vocal support and was assigned Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" to practice for the next session, focusing on tempo and structure.

Hopez worked with Samuel on vocal exercises, pitch correction using the solfège scale, and breath control techniques. Samuel practiced "Mountain of Mourn," focusing on tempo and adding personal expression, and began learning "American Pie," concentrating on breath support and pitch accuracy. Samuel was assigned to continue practicing both songs, focusing on expression and breath control, and to learn the first two verses and chorus of "American Pie" for the next session in two weeks.

A vocal instructor guided a student from Mesa Community College in improving R&B singing. The lesson focused on replicating original song riffs, breath control, and timing. The learner practiced the first verse of a song, applying techniques to enhance accuracy and rhythm. For homework, breathing exercises were assigned, along with practicing the remaining verses of the song using the same techniques.

Hopez worked with Samuel on improving his rhythm, timing, and breath control while singing "Mountains of Mourne." Samuel practiced singing with a metronome and clapping to maintain a consistent beat and was encouraged to add his own embellishments while staying in time. Samuel was assigned to practice the song throughout the week, focusing on timing, embellishments, and breath control, and to also explore incorporating his head voice.

Hopez guided Mardaweh through a singing lesson, concentrating on breath control and projection for the song "Ordinary People." Mardaweh diligently practiced diaphragmatic breathing, timed his efforts with a metronome, and consciously worked on projecting his voice. For homework, Hopez assigned daily breathing exercises and instructed Mardaweh to practice the song, applying the newly learned breathing techniques and mastering the second verse for their upcoming lesson.

Hopez worked with Nathan on vocal exercises, focusing on breath control, sustaining notes, and expanding vocal range. Nathan practiced singing "Mary Had a Little Lamb" while concentrating on proper breathing techniques and rhythm.
