They practiced various vocal exercises, including humming, scales with different vowel sounds, and staccato notes, with the Student demonstrating good pitch recognition. The session concluded with the Student singing a song, and the Tutor suggested continued work on tone and vowel formation in subsequent lessons.

The Student and Tutor practiced major scales (G and A) on the guitar, focusing on fretboard patterns and note identification. They also began learning a new classical piece, "Atorius," which introduced specific fingerstyle techniques and guitar notation. The Student will continue practicing these exercises, and future lesson scheduling will be confirmed post-surgery.

The Tutor offered to provide piano tracks for vocal exercises and song recommendations for future practice.

The Student and Tutor had an introductory singing lesson, focusing on foundational vocal techniques.
