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

Student and Tutor selected "Caro Mio Ben" as the next song to work on. The session focused on Italian pronunciation for the chosen piece, with the Tutor guiding the Student through phonetic spellings. The Student was assigned homework to perform a word-for-word translation of the song's lyrics and to practice the pronunciation for their next lesson in two weeks.

The session focused on developing the Student's vocal technique, beginning with a discussion on managing performance anxiety when incorporating new skills. The Student practiced breath support exercises, including 'dog pants' and sustaining vowels, with particular attention to 'breathing in the vowel' and proper tongue placement for vowel formation. The Tutor assigned continued practice of the four-breath intake followed by vowel sustain using an open jaw, and provided a video resource to aid understanding of internal vocal mechanics, with plans to transition to song work in future lessons.

Student and Tutor focused on foundational singing techniques, including breath control, posture, and vocal production. They practiced the "dog pants" exercise for abdominal breathing, sustained "Ah" vowels to improve breath duration and consistency, and a new "breathe in the vowel" exercise to encourage an open throat. The Student received feedback on maintaining neck and shoulder relaxation, avoiding premature jaw closure, and connecting notes smoothly. For follow-up, the Student was assigned to practice with a metronome and piano, and to listen to five opera songs to select one for future lessons.

The session was an introductory voice lesson focusing on the Belcanto method. The Student practiced foundational vocal techniques, including posture and breath support through exercises like the "dog pant," and began working on pitch matching. They discussed a future lesson plan centered on healthy vocal development for musical theater, including preparation for an upcoming audition.

The Student and Tutor focused on fundamental singing techniques, specifically practicing breathing exercises for breath support and control, alongside proper singing posture. The Student performed exercises like 'dog pants' and controlled inhalations/exhalations with both hissing and 'a' vowel sounds, exploring their vocal range. The Tutor assigned these three breathing exercises for daily practice and encouraged their application to challenging song lines.

The Student and Tutor engaged in a singing lesson focusing on breath control, vocal warm-ups, and pitch accuracy. They practiced sustained breathing exercises and solfège patterns across various registers, with specific attention paid to proper vowel formation for optimal resonance. The session concluded with a discussion about future song selections, prioritizing classical Italian pieces to further develop Bel Canto technique.
