Alexander - Know your guitar teacher
I am a guitar/ukulele/piano/vocal teacher with more than 12 years of teaching experience. Over the years, I became one of the most sought-after instructors at my music school due to my ability to keep students engaged and having fun in their lessons while ensuring that they are being imparted with the necessary knowledge to advance their musical abilities. Additionally, I graduated from the University of Calgary with a Bachelor of Communications and Culture in 2014. I also completed the New Media Production Design and Audio diploma from SAIT in 2013 as well as Digital Audio Certificate of Achievement. I am also the founder of a music project who have earned 5 Music Award nominations and have opened for major musical acts. My music has been played on various radio stations. Let's work together to unlock your full potential on the guitar!

Guitar concepts taught by Alexander
The session focused on advanced vocal techniques, including nasal resonance and anatomical concepts of the vocal tract to improve pitch accuracy and reduce vocal strain. The student practiced exercises and song segments, with a plan to continue refining these techniques through specific drills and guided practice.
Vocal Resonance and "Singing in the Mask"
Vocal Strain and Its Causes
Breath Support and Diaphragmatic Engagement
Pitch Accuracy and Descending Melodies
The student and tutor reviewed vocal warm-up exercises, including breathing techniques and lip trills, and practiced directing vocal resonance into the mask. They explored the anatomy of the vocal tract, the function of the soft palate, and the concept of the *passaggio* (vocal break), applying these techniques to singing a song. Future lessons will continue to focus on vocal register bridging.

and Passaggio
The Soft Palate's Role in Resonance
Vocal Resonance and Mask Singing
The student and tutor reviewed vocal techniques, focusing on breath support, resonance placement (specifically the 'mask'), and anatomical considerations for singing higher notes. They practiced scales, lip drills, and worked on applying these concepts to the song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," with the tutor planning to send additional notes on vocal anatomy.
Vocal Resonance and Mask Placement
Breath Support and Diaphragmatic Engagement
Pitch vs. Tone in Vocalization
Vocal Fold Strain and Open Throat
The class focused on advanced guitar techniques, starting with mastering five patterns of the minor blues scale. The student then practiced applying these scales to improvisation over blues progressions and learned specific blues licks and soloing techniques. The lesson concluded with the beginning of learning a famous guitar solo.
Major vs. Minor Blues Scales
Blues Licks and Improvisation Motifs
Learning Famous Guitar Solos
Guitar Blues Scale Patterns
The student and tutor worked on vocal technique, focusing on resonance, pitch accuracy, and breath support through scales and song practice. They also incorporated guitar chords as a reference tool for tuning and pitch, with the tutor noting significant improvement in the student's ability to identify and correct pitch issues.
Vocal Warm-up Techniques
Pitch Accuracy and Intonation
Vocal Resonance Placement (Mask Resonance)
Breath Support and Control
The student and tutor worked on vocal techniques, including "singing in the mask," breath control, and scale exercises with various vowels and lip trills. They applied these techniques to a song, focusing on resonance, forward placement, and reducing throat tension, with plans to adjust future practice based on the student's experience.
