Singing and Breath Support training; A Natural and Personalised Method
course price icon
From 62 £ /h

The Breath, it's the basis of everything we do, the source of life and the start of singing.

I believe in a genre neutral method of breathing as a base of speaking and singing. No jazz, pop, musical or classical 'technique' but a natural method which taps into the natural strength of the body, which results in a huge window of opportunities.

One can sing however, whichever and whenever one wants, unbound by genre defining methods and techniques. I strive for a utilisation of the whole of the body, just to produce sounds, which makes you more versatile with different genres and which results in a more durable voice.

About Me
Singer/Vocal Coach who focuses on unlocking the Natural, Authentic voice.

It's my sincere belief that everyone knows how to sing. Even how to sing well. It's just a matter of regaining contact with the natural breath, working away deep-rooted tensions and having an open mind.

As a vocal coach, I try and guide you through this path of self discovery and offer you the tools to rediscover your own authentic voice.

I'm trained in Jazz, Pop, Classical and Musical, but after many bad experiences involving bad teachers and a lot of tension, I've gone the road less traveled. I took on courses in alternative philosophies on singing, the breath and using your body. These courses include Overtone singing and the Healing Voice, Breatheology by Stig Severinsen, the Wim Hoff method...

This deeper understanding of the breath and body have I taken on to enrichen my classes and be a vocal coach.

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!

Are you looking for a passionate singing teacher? Search no further!

With over 15 years of singing experience and a completed bachelor's, master's, and postgraduate degrees in classical singing and opera, I could be your ideal choice! I've already gained experience in professional concerts and opera productions in Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands!

In addition to classical music, I am also no stranger to light/pop music, so you can certainly always enjoy that! My lessons are aimed at a positive and supportive learning environment. Together we explore the basic principles and solve challenges in a relaxed and attentive atmosphere.

Whether you are a beginner or want to refine your singing talents, I am happy to help you achieve your vocal goals.

Don't hesitate to contact me! I hope to see you soon!

In the singing lesson we start with learning basic theory about mindset, breathing, breath support,... For students with some experience in singing we go more into different types of singing, for example head voice, mixed voice, emotions while singing, microphone techniques,...

Do you want specific tips for e.g. performances, music choices,...? This is certainly possible! I will look with you at what your needs are and what you would like to learn.

We're not just going to look at the voice but also at 'How do I stand on stage?' or 'How do I reduce stress?' So I'm also going to look at the mental and emotional aspects.

I will help you further based on all my musical baggage that I am currently expanding myself! I am super excited to get started with you and further develop our singing voice together.

Hello, my name is Alyssa.
I am a professional singer with over 18 years of experience as the lead vocalist of Postmen.

I have performed on many stages and worked in numerous studio sessions, and music has been part of my life from a very young age. I started singing in church and later in a gospel choir, where I developed a strong foundation in feeling, expression and musicality.

For me, singing has always been something natural and that is exactly what I want to help others discover in themselves. I am passionate about guiding people in finding their own voice. Not just technically, but emotionally and creatively. Many people think singing is only about hitting the right notes, but I believe it’s about connection, confidence and allowing yourself to be heard.

My lessons are always tailored to your level, your goals and your personality. Whether you are just starting out or already have experience, I create a safe and supportive space where you can grow.

We will work on:
Vocal technique and breath control
Confidence and letting go while singing
Finding your unique sound and style
Musical interpretation: understanding what a song needs
Ad-libs, dynamics, falsetto and vocal expression
Stage presence and performance mindset
Voice care and healthy singing habits

My lessons are for:
Beginners who want to start singing in a relaxed way
Intermediate singers who want more control and confidence
Advanced singers or artists who want to refine their sound
Anyone who feels there is “more” in their voice but doesn’t know how to reach it

My coaching style is personal, intuitive and encouraging. I don’t believe in forcing a voice into a certain style.
I want to help you discover what is already inside you and bring that out.
I work with both adults and younger students and I adapt my teaching depending on what you need: structure, creativity, technique or confidence.
I'm looking forward to meeting you!

You can bring your own songs or work on suggested material Suitable for different styles (with a focus on soul, pop & expressive singing) Lessons available for hobby singers and more serious artists Available online or in person (if applicable)

As a musician, I know that playing guitar while singing requires a special kind of rhythm and muscle memory. In these tailored, one-on-one lessons, we won't just practice boring drills—we will practice using the music you actually love to listen to.

🎸 What We Will Cover:
GUITAR ESSENTIALS: Chord shapes, smooth transitions, rhythm, strumming patterns, and fingerpicking.

VOCAL TECHNIQUE: Breath control, pitch accuracy, expanding your vocal range, and finding your unique tone.

THE "COMBO" COORDINATION: Specialized techniques to help you separate your hands from your voice, allowing you to play and sing simultaneously without losing the beat.

SONG INTERPRETATION: How to arrange songs to fit your personal style and vocal range.

🌟 WHY CHOOSE THIS CLASS?

Two-in-One Value: You get high-quality guitar instruction and vocal coaching combined into a single lesson.

100% CUSTOMISED: Whether you are an absolute beginner who has never touched a guitar, or an intermediate singer looking to accompany yourself, every lesson is adapted to your pace and goals.

ALL GENRES WELCOME: From Pop, Rock, and Folk to Indie and Acoustic covers.
📍 Practical Details:
Levels: Absolute Beginners to Intermediate.

AGES: All ages welcome (Kids, Teens, and Adults).
