About Me

I am a classically trained singer at Conservatorium van Amsterdam.
Last year I completed my master degree in early music solo singing.
I have a passion for music and self expression. I define myself a performer, not only a singer.
This year I have been working around the Netherlands with many groups and ensembles, like Scapino ballet Rotterdam or Combattimento consort. On top of this I have a bachelor in psychology and many years of experience in body work.
My aim is to teach people how to connect with their voice without fear. No matter the kind of singing you want to learn, you have to be open to experiment and guidance in order to relax and make the sound come out free. I can help you with this.

Education

Master degree singing CvA, bachelor in Psychology. Bachelor in classical singing, workshops with important singers and theater directors.
Three years of experience in teaching.

Experience / Qualifications

Stage experienced, performer, therapeutic and tutorial experienced.
Trained in using body/breathing awareness to obtain vocal freedom.

Cello, singing and theory lessons from bilingual Welsh and English speaker
Hi my name is Osian and I’m a cellist from South Wales. I’ve taught children of many ages and standards and I really feel privileged to be a part of someone’s musical and personal development. Music lessons can be a way of reaching the concert platform or it could be a way of expressing yourself and being creative, wether it’s a career path or not. I grew up playing and singing where my first priority was to fall in love with music and learn to perform it to the best standard that I could do and that’s what I’d like to encourage my students to aim for too. I’m a BMus Hons Scholar from The Royal Academy of Music and I’m not studying at a masters lever at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.

Alizee
Singing lessons from a professional singer in Amsterdam. Technique, body and mind connection. Learn to sing freely, healthily and with ease. Welcome 👋
Through various techniques I help you to feel and understand your own voice. Often singing becomes easy when you apply the right breathing technique. Posture is also important (this is sometimes underestimated). I can see when there is tension in your throat or in your body. I zoom in on this during the lesson. And I correct that. During the first lesson I listen carefully to your voice and to your goals and ideas. Based on that I create a tailor-made lesson that serves your goals. Do you not have any goals yet? Then we will look for them together! Maybe you really want to sing this one song? I do this too!: I have a home studio where I can record your voice. You can use this as a demo. I also have experience with producing music. I would like to teach you the basics of producing and what you need for it. Through various techniques, I help you feel and understand your own voice. Singing often becomes easier once you apply the right breathing techniques. Posture is also important (this is often underestimated). I can see when there's tension in your throat or in your body. During the lesson, I focus on that and correct it. In the first lesson, I listen carefully to your voice, your goals, and your ideas.

Vivianne
Life Coach for 'newcomers' in The Netherlands (e.g. students, expats)
Hi! My name is Vivianne. I have been living in Amsterdam for two years now and I do love this city! I'm originally Dutch and I have lived in several countries (different places in The Netherlands, Hong Kong, Peru). That feeling of entering a new city is amazing; all those new people, places and beautiful spots but it can also make you a bit insecure about your decisions. Did you choose the right studies or job? You moved for love but what's next? What about new friends? You're not alone, many people around you experience the same. Next to my own experiences, I work as Dutch teacher (Dutch as a second language) and therefore know how 'newcomers' experience their new life. I want to help people feeling happier and content with their decisions. I have a background in (international) marketing, languages and intercultural communication and due to this combination I have a depth intercultural understanding. So, if you want to talk about... - Your life in The Netherlands (e.g. studies, job) - Your decisions (e.g. feelings, emotions regarding any subject) - Your future plans (e.g. staying in The Netherlands, moving) And want to feel... - More confident in your studies / job - Happier in your personal and social life - More integrated in the Dutch culture Without feeling a patient in need of an expensive psychologist/psychiatrist, feel free to contact me. We can have a short intake so you can tell me something about yourself and make a plan for further meetings. If you're interested in Dutch lessons as well we could, of course, customize the sessions.

Besides working as a mechanic at bike shops , I have taught bicycle safety and held neighborhood repair clinics. Together we will cover fixing a flat tire, adjusting brakes, and a comprehensive safety check. Depending on your bike and your ambition, we will cover gears and the internal bearing systems!

✅COACHING / MANAGEMENT CONSULTING / COMMUNICATION WITHIN MARITAL / COUPLE & FAMILY RELATIONS
In our imagination, nourished by our education and our conditioning, we all believed one day that once married, having founded our family, we will realize our dream. Before taking the leap, we all idealize this life, and the stronger our hope, the stronger the awakening to the reality of life would probably be. Indeed, family life is another experience, a challenge and a process during which we learn a lot about ourselves, about the other and about the relationship. By choosing the right mediator, family and married life can therefore be a great opportunity to grow (sometimes in pain, in joy). Among the possible accompaniments, some examples: - The basics of a solid and fulfilled married or family life - How to resolve disagreements - The secrets of a balanced and balancing child education - Learn to express emotions - Manage families and in-laws - How to take your place within the couple - Define the respective roles of each Among the techniques used: - Non-violent communication tools - The “helping relationship” which aims to support people in crisis or conflict situations and help them resolve dysfunctions (emotional, relational difficulties, repetition of scenarios, lack of self-confidence, etc.) . It also leads to better self-knowledge and guides the person to discover their own solutions. The practitioner in helping relationship through his attentive and neutral listening, his training, his personality, his presence, his availability will allow the consultant to progress towards a better knowledge of his psychological mechanisms, respecting his blockages, his rhythm and his ability to hear. The therapist takes into account the subject as a whole: physical, psychological and social. Allow the consultant to access autonomy so that he can, when he feels ready, walk alone, in all inner serenity. - Coaching that allows you to act and take responsibility, which is the basis of effective and lasting change. Work on the management of emotions and relationships, confidence and self-esteem, self-affirmation is at the center of individual support, which allows you to live more fulfilled and authentic relationships. - Love coaching, which is personalized support based on understanding the mechanisms of love and focusing on putting an individual in this disposition of openness and acceptance of the other and their difference (which prepares to receive love) and to transfer keys of understanding to gain emotional maturity. It allows you to obtain concrete and measurable results in your love life. Through coaching, the consultant becomes aware of his resources, optimizes his potential and transforms his life. - Brief marital and family therapy. She is interested in how the problems manifest themselves in the present but the personal history of each is also approached. This insight helps to better understand the events experienced and to make connections between the past and what is at stake in the current difficulties. We introduce changes in behavior to open up perspectives, mainly relational. - Sophrology. Sophrology is a gentle method that promotes relaxation of the body and mind where you relearn how to listen to your feelings using controlled breathing exercises, muscle relaxation and mental suggestions. It allows you to develop your potential, regain self-confidence, manage your emotions and achieve your goals. It will be, at times, interesting to use this technique to manage to unblock the mind that is blocking and to give the body more amplitude to welcome what presents itself. ➤ THE COACH PSYCHOANALYST PSYCHOPRACTITIONER Trained at the Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League University in the United States, our psychoanalyst, psycho-practitioner and behaviorist coach has specialized and worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, regularly speaking in forums and conferences, and also offering personalized INDIVIDUAL support. ➤ PLACE, TIMETABLE, PRICES ✓ Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Fribourg-Zurich-Neuchâtel-Lugano-Montreux-Basel-Neuchâtel-Bern-Lucerne-Brussels-Luxembourg-Paris-Lyon.

Ziad
Oud and oriental Arabic singing lessons with an experienced teacher
Experienced teacher of Oud and oriental Arabic singing for over 11 years, I am Lebanese and currently residing in Germany. I studied for 8 years at the Lebanese National Conservatory. I taught at the Casa Beethoven Academy in Lebanon and gave private lessons. In addition, I was conductor of the Loubnan Assalam oriental orchestra for over 5 years. My recommendation for learning the Oud is to start with the study of notes and musical notation before tackling pieces. Although some students prefer to play songs directly, understanding the basics of musical notation allows for faster progress in the long run. With determination and hard work, significant progress can be made in a year, allowing one to play simple melodies. Please feel free to leave me a message, I will reply as soon as possible.
