Start your singing journey with expert guidance in vocal and breathing technique, grounded in the Bel Canto technique.

The Student and Tutor discussed significant vocal health concerns, including swollen lymph nodes and potential bruising of the Adam's apple, which were impacting the Student's voice. The Tutor provided crucial information on conditions like mononucleosis and vocal nodes, emphasizing their impact on vocal performance and the necessity of immediate medical consultation. The singing lesson was then cancelled to ensure the Student could rest their voice and seek professional medical advice.

Student and Tutor worked on fundamental singing techniques, focusing primarily on breath support, control, and conservation. They practiced the "dog pant" for deep diaphragmatic breathing and the "in for four, out for twelve" hiss and 'ah' exercises to train breath conservation. The session also introduced the concept of resonance spaces and soft palate control, with the Student assigned to practice exploring independent laryngeal movement for the next lesson.

The Student and Tutor explored advanced singing techniques, focusing on the Belcanto method's emphasis on posture for foundational breath support and vocal projection. They practiced breathing and vocal exercises, including dog pants and sustained "ah" sounds, while discussing the nature and control of vibrato. The session concluded with a discussion of vocal registers, linking core strength exercises to improved breath suspension for sustained singing.

The Student and Tutor worked on vocal warm-ups, breath control, and core engagement through dog pant and "haha" exercises. The Tutor introduced the academic concepts of vocal registers (chest, head, mixed voice) and the pajo (vocal passage), guiding the Student through exercises to transition between these registers more smoothly. The Student achieved a significant breakthrough in producing higher notes with better support and a more connected sound.

Student and Tutor focused on fundamental vocal techniques, including refined breathing exercises and consistent breath control using the 'dog pant' and hiss exercises. They specifically practiced how to control vocal volume without altering pitch, emphasizing core engagement and larynx stability. They also discussed strategies for adapting future vocal practice around the Student's upcoming knee surgery.

The Student and Tutor worked on fundamental singing techniques, focusing on breath control and vocal warm-ups. The Student practiced sustained breathing exercises on a hiss and an "ah" sound, learned abdominal support techniques, and engaged in dog panting drills. A new exercise involving lip rolls combined with vocal sirens and knee bends was introduced to help the Student extend their vocal range and strengthen laryngeal control. The Tutor assigned specific breathing and lip roll exercises as daily practice for the Student.
