Nice to meet you - I’m Shira!

I’m an Amsterdam-based singer with extensive experience in choral, classical, and early music singing. I’m offering lessons for students of all ages and abilities who are eager to explore and develop their vocal skills. Whether you're just starting out or already have some experience, I'm here to help you on your singing journey.

I teach from my home in Amsterdam. While my background is rooted in classical music, I can also help you discover and refine your voice in pop, contemporary, and other genres. My lessons are tailored to your individual needs and goals, with exercises designed to find what works best for your voice.

We’ll start each lesson with breathing exercises and vocal warm-ups, then move on to working on a song. Together, we can focus on stage presence, diction, musical interpretation, and more, helping you build confidence and technique in a way that resonates with your personal musical style.

I am an Amsterdam based singer, who has been teaching for over 5 years. I am currently looking for students of all ages and abilities- I can teach from my home, or yours! If you want to learn Classical, I am particularly experienced in this field, but I teach a general technique that will work for jazz, musical theatre, pop and classical!

My name is Polly and I am a professional opera singer. I am currently performing as a Young Artist with Dutch National Opera in Amsterdam as part of their brand new Studio Programme. Alongside performing, I have a passion for teaching classical singing to students of all ages and abilities. As a newcomer to Amsterdam, I am looking to build my teaching studio and to share my love of singing!

Whether you sing purely for your own enjoyment, are preparing for a big audition or performance, or simply just want to know more about how the human voice works, I am here to help!

I previously trained at the Royal College of Music (MPerf, Distinction) and the National Opera Studio in London, as well as working for opera companies including Opera Holland Park, Royal Opera House, Pop-Up Opera, Charles Court Opera, and British Youth Opera. I also achieved ABRSM Grade 8 Piano and Voice (both Distinction), so I am able to provide piano accompaniment in lessons. Prior to my Masters training at the RCM, I studied Molecular Biology and Biochemistry (BSc Hons) at Durham University, which included modules in Animal Physiology. I am therefore fascinated by and have a deep understanding of how the human voice functions.

I teach using the SATS model devised by my teacher Janice Chapman, which uses evidence-based science to teach the fundamentals of classical singing. So, no matter what stage you are in your vocal training, I will be able to help to build and strengthen your vocal technique and help you towards vocal freedom and experience true joy in your singing!

Languages I sing in include English, Italian, German, French, and, to a lesser extent, Czech and Russian. I have received the input of many world-class language coaches over the years, so I am happy to coach you through the sounds and meaning of texts in these languages.

My experience is that anyone can become a great singer.
You only need to practice the right exercises and invest the right amount of time.
On my lessons I give you the tools to overcome your personal vocal challenges and I will push you to practice!

I graduated from the Conservatory in Arnhem (ArtEZ) in 2013. Since then I have been working as an actor, singer and pianist (mostly theater). In addition to playing always been active as a teacher. Many group lessons but also individual lessons. Currently active as a keyboard player for the Aunt Joke Karaoke Band.
Because I master many different disciplines, we can make the lessons as personal as you want. Do you enjoy learning to guide yourself while singing? Do you want to write a song? Do you want to know if you are singing healthy? Do you want more technique in your piano playing? Do you want to learn more about music theory? Or just sing songs that you like? Everything is possible! Call or message me especially for questions !!

Singing is a universal language. Everyone loves to sing, whether you are good at it or not.

In this lesson you will learn to use your own voice better. Whether you've been singing for 10 years or are completely new to singing. With warm-up exercises I teach you your vocal techniques and we apply them at the end of the lesson in the song that you like to sing. We will talk about breath support and flow, ringing, the sound of your voice and how to use it, etc. But in addition, these lessons are mainly about having fun and discovering your voice!

Any style of music is welcome!

My teaching method meets the student's needs. Above all, I try to make people keep their passion and taste for music and my main goal is to make music or art a pleasure and not a sacrifice.

I motivate students, showing them the benefits of exploring their unique talents, but also not hiding the need for continuous work and with some obstacles, sometimes difficult, to overcome.

I let the students bring their own musical choices and, over time, I also recommend material that I think may be useful for a faster, simpler, and more efficient evolution.
As I said, I focus on the pleasure of singing but also on the technique that allows us to achieve the best results with less effort.
I hope that my way of teaching will work with you, but we always have to adapt to the needs and personalities of each one.
Come and try it!

Hello, my name is Sabine! I'm a soprano, actor, and singing teacher educated in multiple styles. I hold a degree in Vocal Performance (Classical + Pop/rock) & Musicology, and finished my studies at Fontys AMPA (Opera). I have also trained as an actor (film & theatre) at the Mulholland Academy in Amsterdam.

My lessons are entirely tailored to your personal wishes. We begin with a discussion about what you'd like to learn, and we work toward your own ideal voice and sound. We can choose classical, operatic, popular, or musical repertoire - or other styles that interest you. The focus is always on healthy, sustainable technique. You can also choose to work on different elements: we can focus only on singing technique, but also on performance or dramatic skills, song interpretation, audition preparation, your speaking voice, stage fright..all questions are welcome!

Reasons to try out a lesson
-You've always been curious about singing, but don't know where to start
-You already sing for fun, but you want to take your voice to the next level
-You want to prepare an audition (for conservatory, a role in a production, singing competition, choir, open mic..)
-You suffer from stage fright or lack of confidence
-You want to work on your theatrical skills
-You're an actor who wants to improve their vocal technique
-You want to strengthen your speaking voice
-You're in a choir and want to improve your voice
-You want to be able to sing convincingly in the English language (as a native speaker, I also offer English language and diction coaching for singing)
-any other reason!

Please feel free to contact me with any questions. All ages and experience levels are welcome :)

You'll learn how to use the voice in the proper way, starting by your natural speech and developing it to find your own sound. I have experience in both Pop and Jazz styles (a Bachelor in Jazz Singing and a degree in Jazz Composition), so it's possible to study songs from both this repertoires. I also give Music Theory Lessons, to make the student develop his/her own style and musical sensibility and, in the case of Jazz, to know how to improvise on different chord changes and jazz styles.

I'm an opera and theatre director with experience in staging (8 + years) and teaching acting and singing (children, adolescents, adults). If you feel like you want to overcome any psychological clamps, face yourself, speak out and let your inner voice come out, then perhaps these classes are for you.

Learn to sing like Celia Cruz or Gloria Estefan! PrisciLa teaches singing at the Muziekpakhuis in the center of Amsterdam. Teaches Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Sing your favorite songs!
The classes are individual and last one hour. What works:
• Articulation of words
• Knowledge of Latin rhythms
• Sing out loud
• Acquire more strength in your voice
• Announcements
But, singing is something so personal! We can start with what you like best. :-)

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.

About the lessons

Have you always dreamed of developing your musical talents? Are you an amateur singer or a beginner who would like to learn a few basics to better understand and control your voice? Then you've come to the right place! :)
As an option, I can also give introductory music theory lessons, to help you get to grips with the difficulties of musical language.
This course is aimed at all those who are just starting out or who want to perfect their singing skills, children or adults of all ages and backgrounds. /!\ Lessons will be given in English or French only, at my home in Amsterdam (Osdorp).

Course content

• Breathing exercises (to learn how to manage your breath and master good vocal support)
• Ear exercises (to develop in pitch accuracy and intonation)
• Vocalizing and voice exercises (adapted to the student's level) to warm up and develop a better voice technique
• Repertoire work on arias, songs or other musical pieces (classical or pop music, depending on the student's wishes) on which the student would like to progress
• (as a bonus, if needed) support or introduction to music theory

The musical goal and target level will be decided (under my guidance) on an individual basis in the beginning of our lessons, according to each student's wishes. The aim of this course is whatever suits you best: to improve your level in order to enter musical establishments, to progress in order to surpass yourself, or for the curiosity of discovering new things, or even just for the pleasure of making music!

To learn how to sing, you will need to learn two aspects: the technical aspect related to body awareness and the purely musical aspect of language. My teaching method is based 50% on technique and 50% on practice:
the first part of the lesson will be dedicated to exploring vocal techniques and body awareness
the second half will be spent singing your favourite songs, gradually putting into practice what we have done previously.
Every student is different, and singing is the most subjective instrument there is, as it is composed of flesh and bones, so the lessons will be tailored to your needs.
