Singing Lessons with a Focus on Musicality by Wilfrid Laurier University Educator

The student and tutor worked on vocal technique, including warm-ups like arpeggios and exercises for range and breath support. They rehearsed the student's solo piece, "Rick Ashley," focusing on vocal production and phrasing, and reviewed the song "Watch What Happens," addressing breath control and vocal stamina. The session also included a brief interval reading quiz and discussed the upcoming concert performance.

The student and tutor engaged in a singing lesson that included vocal warm-ups, a rhythmic recall game to practice note values, and focused work on the song "Part of Your World." The tutor provided guidance on vocal projection, expression, and adjusting the song's key for optimal performance, with plans to continue working on this song and revisit another previously studied song in the next session.

The student and tutor reviewed vocal warm-up exercises, focusing on breath control and vowel sounds. They then practiced specific challenging sections of two songs, "Love Song" and "Fly Me to the Moon," working on pitch accuracy, rhythm, and vocal technique. The next lesson will continue refining these songs.

The student and tutor worked extensively on vocal warm-ups and techniques, focusing on breath support and resonance. The majority of the session was dedicated to practicing an audition song, "Never Gonna Give You Up," including finding the right key, refining lyrical delivery, and exploring dynamic variations. They also briefly touched on the structure of the song and potential audition requirements.

The student and tutor engaged in vocal warm-ups, melodic recall exercises, and song selection for a new ballad. They also practiced a popular song, "Popular," focusing on character and vocal accuracy, and began dissecting challenging sections of "Watch What Happens," with plans to focus on high notes and breathing techniques in the next session.

The student and tutor reviewed vocal warm-ups, including lip trills and arpeggio exercises, while troubleshooting technical difficulties. They then delved into music theory by analyzing and singing arpeggios, practicing note identification and reading in the treble clef. Repertoire work focused on refining two songs, "Popular" and "Watch What Happens," with assigned homework to develop character and practice challenging vocal passages.
