The Tutor and Student focused on developing interoceptive singing, exploring chest resonance, and releasing vocal tension. They practiced breathing techniques for voice support and engaged in massage exercises for the throat and jaw. Homework includes practicing diaphragmatic breathing and self-massage daily, along with using a drone for humming practice.

The session focused on vocal resonance, exploring different body chambers (head, nasopharynx, soft palate, chest) and their application in singing. The Student practiced exercises for each resonance type and applied them to a song phrase. A significant portion of the class was dedicated to ear training, specifically identifying song baselines, with follow-up practice on resonance, baseline listening, and pitch accuracy assigned as homework.

The Student and Tutor engaged in an initial singing lesson focusing on the Student's vocal history, challenges with confidence, and performance anxiety. The Tutor introduced a holistic approach to vocal development, incorporating technical, emotional, and spiritual aspects, and guided the Student through initial vocal exercises to build internal connection and resonance.

Student and Tutor engaged in a Singing lesson focused on vocal cord mechanics, resonance, and various vocal exercises. The Student practiced techniques such as vocal fry, squeaky pl, and matching pitches, applying them to a chosen song to develop dynamic vocal textures and body-supported high notes. For follow-up, the Student plans to continue practicing vocal textures and body engagement, with the next session scheduled for two weeks later.

Student and Tutor focused on understanding vocal cord anatomy and practicing foundational singing techniques to improve vocal clarity, connection, and strength. They worked on exercises like vocal fry and the 'squeaky plimple' for better vocal cord closure, applying these concepts while singing a song. The session concluded with plans for the Student to practice with a backing track, concentrating on tongue relaxation, rhythm, and tuning, and to consider using a headset for future classes.

Student and Tutor explored vocal cord mechanics, focusing on achieving optimal vocal cord closure for stronger, less breathy singing. They practiced vocal fry and a 'squeaky plimsoll' exercise, applying these techniques to gospel songs. The session also reinforced proper breath support from the diaphragm, chest resonance, and using emotional 'crying' sounds to access higher notes without strain. The Student was advised to practice the 'squeaky plimsoll' and 'gorilla' exercises, along with 'thinking low' during high notes, for daily vocal development.
