Singing lessons from experienced singer (EN-FR-NL)
From 46.45 £ /h
Hi!
Have you always wanted to learn to sing?
Is your voice getting tired after singing (alone or in a choir)?
Do you want to be better at singing?
Are you curious about what your voice can do?
Do you sing in a choir and need extra help putting together the material in between rehearsals?
I love passing on the knowledge of my craft. The mechanics of the voice is such a small and intricate thing, and knowing what goes inside our throat and body is a very special experience. I get excited and moved every time a student achieves a new skill, and takes another step towards a deeper understanding of their voice.
On top of my experience as a singer and a teacher, I have a degree in linguistics. That allows me to know exactly what has to be done inside your throat and mouth in order to produce a specific sound. I can therefore adapt to each student: if they have an analytic mind, I can explain what goes on inside and what should be done to improve that. If they have an instinctive mind, I can help with metaphor in order to help the phonation. Or both! My method is multi-faceted because each voice is unique, and it is my job to adapt, and not the contrary.
How does a lesson work?
The first time we meet, we will talk about your journey in the music world. What have you done yet music wise, what artists and genres inspire you, what are your goals. Then we will do what we do in every regular lesson: I will direct you during some warming-up exercises, that include vocal technique work (if you have already warmed up, we just do a few exercises about technique), and then we will work on whatever you want. I ask my students to always come with at least one piece of music they want to work on (or maybe two, depends on the time we have on hands).
See you soon!

Extra information
Bring two (!) printed (!) copies of the text or your score to the lesson.
One you will use yourself and we will write on it instructions, and one for me so I can follow the music without having to read it over your shoulder.

About Me
Hi!
I am a French opera singer and have performed regularly and frequently as a soloist in France, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium and the UK. I have experience in performance, stress management and vocal technique that I would like to share.
I have coached dozens of students and have accumulated a vast experience in meeting a wide range of different personalities and individual needs since I started teaching. We all bring our whole story with us and each student is also a new opportunity for me to learn how to take my teaching standards to a higher level.
I hold a Master's degree in classical singing, a Bachelor's degree in classical singing and a Bachelor's degree in linguistics, which makes me competent on multiple levels (artistic, but also pure mechanics of phonation) to transmit my knowledge.
