Singing concepts taught by Alexander
The tutor and student reviewed guitar techniques, focusing on practicing scales with varied intervals and exploring diatonic chords. They worked on improvisational strategies, including breaking predictable patterns and applying theoretical knowledge of chord progressions and modes. The student is expected to continue practicing these concepts independently.

Diatonic Chords and Triad Navigation
Modal Implication in Chord Progressions
Vocal Fold Hydration and Dryness
Tongue Placement and Resonance
Breath Support and Vocal Stability
Vowel Shapes and Openness
The tutor and student reviewed vocal exercises focused on pitch accuracy, breath support, and vowel production. They practiced scales, arpeggios, and song passages from "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," addressing challenges related to vocal constriction and resonance, particularly between 'ah' and 'oo' vowel sounds. Follow-up will include a specific breathing regimen and further exploration of vowel sound differences.
