Singing lessons highlights
My personalized teaching methodology for singing lessons revolves around a technique-focused and engaging approach. I emphasize performance coaching, ear training, and fostering creativity in students. By tailoring lessons in genres like Pop, Movie, Blues, and Folk singing, I ensure a diverse learning experience. I utilize a range of tech tools, from DAWs to Vocal Pitch Training apps, to create interactive and dynamic online learning environments. Following curricula like A-Levels and AP Programs, I blend theory with practical application, nurturing well-rounded musicians. With a student audience of 10+ at the school level, I focus on individualized attention and empathy to enhance learning outcomes. My interactive lessons cater to each student's interests, keeping them motivated and engaged throughout their musical journey. Through this approach, I aim not only to teach singing but also to instill a deep love and passion for music in every student.

Singing concepts taught by Reese
The Student and Tutor engaged in a singing lesson focusing on vocal warm-ups and exploring different vocal placements. They practiced various breathing techniques and applied chest, mixed, head, and nasal voice placements to song excerpts from Michael Jackson and Princess Tiana. For homework, the Student was assigned to practice singing one song for five minutes daily in the correct breathing 'bud position' to reinforce diaphragm expansion.

The session focused on fundamental singing techniques, starting with physical and vocal warm-ups. The Student practiced body stretches, lip trills, and octave exercises, receiving guidance on breath control and posture. The lesson concluded early due to the Tutor's health, with plans to resume the discussion on vocal projection at a later time.

The Importance of Warm-ups
The Student and Tutor engaged in a Singing lesson, focusing on foundational techniques. They practiced vocal warm-ups, developed proper singing posture using a 'flower' analogy, and refined breath control with 'pool floaty' and 'snake breath' exercises. The Student applied these skills while singing the chorus of "Dancing Machine" and began exploring emotional connection in singing with "Will You Be There," which will be continued next session.

Student and Tutor worked on identifying and practicing harmony vocal parts for the song "Fishing in the Dark," focusing on pitch correction, rhythmic accuracy, and maintaining the correct vocal octave. They also briefly discussed the harmony for "Full Moonlight." The Student was given homework to practice these harmonies with their guitar, transpose them, and utilize an AI stem splitter app to aid in learning.

The Tutor introduced concepts of vocal registers (chest, mixed, head voice) and vocal grit, demonstrating how these techniques are applied in various musical styles. They practiced identifying these vocal placements to build the Student's body awareness and ear training, with plans to further explore artist-specific techniques and breath support in future lessons.
