ESL Tutoring at University of the Immaculate Conception for Special Needs Students

The tutor and student focused on foundational singing techniques. The student practiced ear training and vocal warm-ups, then performed a song to assess pitch control, power, and dynamics. The tutor provided a lesson plan for future development in these areas.

During a singing lesson, Florence guided Jack in refining his vocal resonance, clarity, and breath control. Jack diligently practiced exercises aimed at engaging his chest muscles and preventing throat strain, applying these to his original song and beginning work on a new composition. Florence concluded the lesson by recommending that Jack internalize the techniques acquired and integrate them into his regular practice.

Florence guided Jack in a singing lesson, where they refined his vocal technique and prepared an original song for a potential live performance. The lesson concentrated on vocal exercises to enhance breath control and resonance, alongside addressing structural elements of the piece. Jack received homework to practice breath control and vocal power in preparation for their next lesson.

Florence and Alicia collaborated on vocal techniques for Alicia's wedding performance of 'Hallelujah'. Their singing lesson focused on crucial aspects like mouth opening, clear enunciation, diaphragmatic breath control, and sustaining notes. To enhance control and expression, they fine-tuned the song's tempo. Florence committed to preparing the adjusted tempo for their next lesson on Wednesday at 9 a.m., while Alicia will practice and use tea with honey to soothe her voice.

During a vocal lesson, two individuals, including a learner from Fresno, worked on vocal exercises and practiced singing 'Goodness of God' and 'Caught Up In Your Presence,' focusing on note accuracy, vocal delivery, and clarity. The learner from Fresno was introduced to the 'Perfect Ear' app for ear training and practiced interval singing, and was asked to practice with the app before the next lesson.

Florence worked with a student from Arizona State University in Tempe on vocal techniques to improve their singing of "Hallelujah," focusing on mouth opening, breath control, and note accuracy. They practiced vocal exercises and worked through the song line by line, with Florence providing real-time feedback. The learner was assigned to practice the techniques learned, particularly the "coo" sound and mouth-opening exercises, before their next lesson on Friday at 6:15 p.m.
