Guitar concepts taught by Alexander
The Student and Tutor conducted a singing lesson focusing on fundamental vocal techniques, including breathing exercises, lip trills, and scale practice for pitch accuracy. They applied these skills to practice specific sections of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and "When I Was Your Man," addressing challenges in pitch, vocal strain, and transitioning to falsetto. The Tutor assigned consistent breath support practice, perfecting specific vocal runs, and recording sessions for self-evaluation.
