The Student and Tutor focused on vocal resonance, exploring how the voice resonates within different body chambers like the head, mask, soft palette, and chest. They extensively practiced ear training exercises, including note and phrase matching, to improve the Student's ear-to-voice coordination. The Tutor assigned a resonance sheet and encouraged the Student to continue exploring vocal placement within songs for homework.

The Student and Tutor conducted an introductory singing session, where the Tutor shared her background and teaching philosophy, and the Student outlined her vocal goals. They explored the concept of vocal resonance and practiced a specific vocal exercise designed to enhance vocal openness. The Student also performed a song, receiving positive feedback and a plan for future lessons focusing on vocal cord training, placement, and breath control.

Student and Tutor began their first singing session focusing on breath control and vocal tension release, comparing natural and armored breathing patterns. They practiced physical exercises to encourage abdominal breathing and explored techniques like yawning to relax the throat and larynx while singing a song phrase. For homework, the Tutor will send a workbook with breathing exercises and recorded vocal warm-ups, with a follow-up session to be scheduled.

The Student and Tutor engaged in an introductory singing lesson, where the Student shared her vocal aspirations and the Tutor outlined a holistic teaching philosophy. They practiced a vocal exercise using physical body support to enhance confidence and power in the higher vocal range. Future lessons will focus on technique, performance, vocal tension release, and breath control.

The session focused on fundamental breath support techniques for singing, introducing concepts like 'de-armoring breath' and 'womb breathing.' The Student practiced various physical exercises to release tension and optimize breath intake, transitioning from chest breathing to deep abdominal support. Homework involves practicing workbook exercises, specific vocalizations (like 'gaga'), and mindful breathing in daily life, with a plan to review recorded singing with instrumentals in the next class.

Student and Tutor focused on exploring vocal resonance techniques, including head, nasopharynx, and soft palate resonance, along with full-body vibration awareness. They practiced ear training exercises to improve pitch matching and introduced concepts of octaves and harmony. The Student then applied these techniques while singing a song, incorporating physical support for higher notes. The Student plans to find songs in a higher range for head voice practice.
