The Student and Tutor engaged in an introductory singing session where the Student discussed their goals of improving high notes and vocal distortion. They practiced vocal warm-ups, learned about interoception, and applied vocal fry techniques to improve vocal cord closure. The session concluded with an assessment of the Student's voice and a discussion of future lesson plans, including improving vibrato, breath support, head voice, and belt techniques, alongside a showcase of the Student's audio engineering and music production skills.

This trial singing session focused on understanding the Student's vocal goals, including preparation for high school musicals and expanding their lower vocal range. The Tutor introduced fundamental vocal techniques such as feeling the larynx, engaging a "cry" for high notes, and controlling breathiness for vocal texture, practicing these concepts with a song. For homework, the Student was encouraged to listen to the practiced song, paying attention to vocal placement.

The Student and Tutor worked on developing chest voice and improving vocal resonance through various exercises. They practiced physical techniques to release vocal tension in the jaw, tongue, and larynx, and explored foundational belly breathing for improved breath control. The Student was assigned practice exercises for the week, including vocal warm-ups, massage techniques, and specific breathing exercises, to integrate these concepts into their singing.

The Student and Tutor focused on vocal technique, introducing new mixed voice exercises for bridging the vocal break and improving register transitions. They practiced nasal resonance and target humming for vocal placement, then applied these techniques to a song, achieving notable success in belting high notes. The Student was assigned to continue practicing the nasal hum and 'nigh' exercises, with the Tutor providing a PDF containing practice links for follow-up.

Student and Tutor continued their singing lesson, focusing on intraceptive singing, vocal tension release through massage, and breath support techniques.

Student and Tutor focused on vocal technique, specifically developing the mixed voice for pop singing using nasal resonance and mixed voice exercises. They also worked extensively on rhythmic accuracy and subdivisions within a Billie Eilish song, analyzing its complex timing. For homework, the Student will practice the mixed voice exercises and the rhythmic breakdown of the song, with plans to explore whistle tones and tongue release in future sessions.
