The student and Tutor worked on two songs, 'White Rabbit' and 'You Better Move On,' focusing on vocal technique and performance. They practiced keeping the mouth open for sustained vowels and diphthongs, and discussed the importance of tongue position for vocal clarity. The session also covered developing performance artistry by connecting with the song's narrative and emotional impact. A follow-up session was planned before the student's upcoming gig.

The Student and Tutor reviewed warm-up exercises and focused on improving pitch accuracy through pre-unitary tuning practice. They also worked on vocal technique for a warmer sound using an 'H' feeling and practiced two songs, 'Let It Go' and 'Landslide,' to apply these techniques and discuss breath control. The Tutor recommended daily practice of tuning exercises, incorporating the 'H' feeling in songs, and downloading a free piano app for mobile practice.

The Student and Tutor worked on vocal performance and diction across three songs: "You Can Have Her, I Don't Want Her," "Fast Car," and "Brown Eyed Girl." They focused on improving vocal freedom, maintaining rhythmic accuracy by emphasizing key words, and refining tongue position for open vowel sounds using a specific exercise. The Student was assigned to practice the exaggerated tongue-out exercise for the 'U' vowel.

Student and Tutor addressed vocal recovery after a recent illness, focusing on gentle warm-ups and identifying vocal tension. They then worked on advanced singing techniques, including maintaining an open mouth for fluid phrasing and controlling larynx position for better resonance. The session concluded with specific homework assignments for vocal exercises and mental pitch matching to improve pitch accuracy.

The Student and Tutor worked on vocal warm-ups and practiced two songs, "My All" and "A Leak In This Old Building," focusing on breath control, vocal tone, and lyric articulation. They discussed techniques for sustaining breath during runs and producing a light, non-breathy sound. Homework involves daily singing for enjoyment, incorporating tongue exercises, and practicing songs as a mini-performance to enhance audience connection.

The Student and Tutor discussed the comfort and resonance of singing in different keys, introducing a new song, "Dark-Eyed Gal." The Tutor explained vocal resonance through a trumpet analogy and guided the Student through exercises to consciously control larynx position for better sound production, particularly for higher notes. The Student was advised to practice these techniques and prioritize hydration and rest due to feeling unwell.
