Hi to everybody! :)

My name is Stef, I am a lyrical singer from Barcelona who currently lives in Montréal (and I love it!).

I teach singing, piano and musical theory for ALL AGES and GENRES!

About SINGING, I am going to teach you how to use your voice in a healthy way.
In class, we'll learn about:
- Body awareness
- Support (yes, we'll talk about the diaphragm!)
- Breathing
- Phonation
- Tuning
- Phrasing
- Declamation
- Projection
- Confidence
- Stage presence
- Communication through emotions
- Piano self-accompaniment (so you can give proper concerts to your beloved ones!)
- And MORE!!

If you feel interested about the vocal world and you want to begin or improve and expand your knowledge, drop me a line. Tell me which repertoire you want to work with and let's sing it!

About PIANO and MUSICAL THEORY lessons, they are based on a super piano book. With that and my technique you'll learn a lot! For kids, I have several books that are fantastic for them as well!

Also, I'm here to help you with your EXAMS and AUDITIONS :)

My philosophy is QUALITY OVER QUANTITY. To achieve that, it's important to establish a trust-based relationship between us. My lessons are taken in a comfortable and open-minded environment. I find this point essential to feel free and make music from the heart.

So, what are you waiting for? Don't hesitate to contact me to book your first lesson! It will be a big pleasure to work with you :)

Remember: FUN is mandatory! :D
Extra information
I recommend you to bring comfortable clothes, a bottle of water and something to write notes one (notebook, tablet, phone,...).

About Me
Hi to everybody! :)

My name is Stef, I am a lyrical singer from Barcelona who currently lives in Montréal (and I love it!).

My career is divided in EDUCATION and PERFORMANCE.

As a teacher, I have more than 15 years of experience. I have worked with people from 3 to 75 years old in a wide range of musical areas. I have been teaching as in schools as in conservatories.
From the academic year 2021-2022, I'm teaching singing at the University of Montreal (UdeM).


My classes can be individual or in group, and they can be taken at yours or at my studio, which is located in the vibrant area of the Plateau! Also, I can speak English, French, Spanish and Catalan for those who are international! :)

As a performer, since I was 17 years old I have participated in quite zarzuelas, operas, oratorios and musicals around Europe, including the Gran Teatre del Liceu de Barcelona, and now in Canada ^^

Along all these years of experience, I have acquired powerful resources to help and understand people's needs. So, I feel very happy to help others to pursue their dreams and improve theirselves every day.

I am a graduate of the highest music schools and universities in Switzerland (HEMU Lausanne, HEM Geneva) and in Canada (McGill Schulich School of Music, Montreal).
I give my lessons at home / online but I also travel if necessary.
I teach cello technique using various teaching methods with great classics such as Navarra, Lee, Feuillard, Dotzauer, Popper, Starker and many more...
I teach for all levels: beginners - adults - intermediate, advanced and professional and in various styles of music: classical, jazz and world music, (Eastern Europe, Balkans, Near and Middle East, Asia Minor, North Africa and Brazil).

I work a lot on posture in my teaching, because it is an element that I believe is essential in teaching a musical instrument and which is unfortunately not taken seriously or considered enough. I had the chance to work with Mrs. Aude Hauser who is a recognized physiotherapist in Switzerland and Europe specialized in musicians.

I am a certified teacher from the Conservatories and Higher Music Schools of Switzerland, but also from the Association of Graduate Music Teachers of Quebec (APMQ), as well as universities in Canada.
Instrument-wise, I also have a small cello collection, to be discussed.
I also teach on weekends, depending on my availability.

-- I also teach in english --

My lessons are for anyone wishing to approach the piano in a personalized way, regardless of the style and level targeted.
I divide my teaching into equal parts between theory (melody, harmony and rhythm) and practice (all pieces of your choice), the aim being to offer you a grid of global understanding of writing and musical interpretation.
I start from the principle that you have to have fun from the start, while looking for a high level of autonomy.

-- About me --

Having grown up abroad (in the Central African Republic then in Saudi Arabia), I had the chance to learn the piano through an eclectic teaching.
In particular, I was a student of Gulmira Abdukhalikova, a Kazakh concert artist now based in Abu-Dhabi, who made me progress by applying the famous "Russian method". At 13, I won 3rd place in the International Piano Competition of Île de France at Maisons-Lafitte.

At the end of my adolescence, I participated in the Big Band of the Children of Jazz, within the framework of a festival organized each year in Barcelonette by Stéphane Kochoyan (who was also, at the time, artistic director of the Jazz Festival in Vienna).

Subsequently, I set sail for Canada where I lived for six years. I co-animated several Open-Mics of poetry, as a pianist-improviser, and I produced two albums: "Fragments" (2018) and "Echoes of space-time" (2019), the latter having been 100% improvised and recorded "one-shot" in the studio.
At the end of 2020, three years after having started giving piano lessons in Canada and France, I publish "The method of the self-taught pianist" as well as my own sight-reading manual.
