The tutor also outlined plans to incorporate more resonance exercises and music theory in future lessons.

The Student and Tutor engaged in an introductory singing lesson, focusing on foundational techniques. They practiced proper posture, various breathing exercises, and several vocal warm-ups, including lip trills, tongue rolls, 'ny' sounds, straw phonation, and panting.
