Had my first ever singing lesson yesterday as a complete beginner. We did some "ah ah ah" scales for a minute or two, then they had me pick a song I wanted to practice and had me do karaoke of it. They basically sang it to me and had me try to mimic them, even belting at some parts. My throat hurt a bit after.

I feel like I didn't learn much, just sang a bit. They said my pitch was perfect and that I didn't need much coaching. I need to know how to do healthy technique and the basics, but maybe because I don't sound horrible they thought this wasn't nesessary? I made it clear I needed to learn about proper technique. is this normal for a first beginner lesson?
