30 min
I will teach the student how to stand in the proper singing position and do
various breathing exercises to warm them up. To practice taking healthy and
proper breaths, I will play the warm-ups at their pace. The student will be
doing pentascales. This can be done on lip trills as well so the tone has better
clarity. There will be a range check.
 Review Learning Outcomes and Closing Teacher, student, and
What concepts and procedures need to be reiterated and what procedures will piano
be followed? How is the lesson concluded and how is comprehension assessed
10 min
to aid in transition?

At the end of the lesson, I will review the proper singing posture and how to
breathe. Student will do a warm-down.

Differentiation What can be done differently with this lesson to meet the needs of student that are demonstrating difficulty with
Strategies comprehension; what modifications to instruction, guided practice, and independent practice could be done to meet
the unique needs of the student?
I can do more breathing exercises at the beginning so the student can get more
comfortable with taking deeper breaths in a quicker amount of time.

Assessments Student is getting better at breathing, but they need to open up more. They are insecure
about their voice.

Homework/Independent
Practice * The student needs to work on breathing properly while standing in the proper singing
position. Doing this will allow her to sing warm-ups with more ease and better tonal
clarity.

Presentation of New Material and Guided Practice with Corrective Feedback Teacher, student,
and piano
A description of the instructional technique and instructional procedures, including
input, modeling, and checking for understanding:
Unlike the last vocal lesson, the warm-ups will be sung at a steady tempo. The
20 min student will do a pentascale warm-up with open vowels (“yah-yah”, “yoh-
yoh”, “yoo-yoo”) to encourage singing with a relaxed mouth and flexible jaw.
 Review Learning Outcomes and Closing Teacher, student, and
What concepts and procedures need to be reiterated and what procedures will be followed? How piano
is the lesson concluded and how is comprehension assessed to aid in transition?
10 min
Student will do a warm-down with a new technique that allows them to sing
with more ease.

Differentiation What can be done differently with this lesson to meet the needs of student that are demonstrating difficulty with
Strategies comprehension; what modifications to instruction, guided practice, and independent practice could be done to meet
the unique needs of the student?
Since the lesson was over Zoom, the connection was going in and out and the instruction
could have been unclear. The next lesson will be in person so both of us can understand
each other better. However, the student must practice.
Assessments The tone was better, but I can tell the student was not practicing. The breathing was
better.

Homework/Independent
Practice * The student must practice singing with a relaxed mouth and flexible jaw to sing with less
tension. To help with that, the student should be chewing while humming to open up
space in the back of the mouth.
Notes The student’s tone may not have sounded the best since the lesson was over Zoom.
