Do you like to sing? Do you want to increase your abilities? Do you want to learn to use the full range of your voice with taste and pleasure?

I am a professional singer with experience in teaching singing. I graduated in Master's degree in Performance at the Academy of Arts in Slovakia and at the HEM in Master's degree in Specialized Interpreting in Geneva. During my studies I attended several master classes with famous artists like Mirella Freni, Patricia Petibon, Mara Zampieri, Luciana D'Intino and many others.

My classes are suitable for all levels (from 14 years old) and are personalized according to the individual needs of each student. I give my shopping in French, English, Italian and Hungarian.

The program consists of

- Pose the voice: you learn the vocal technique with the use of deep breathing with the diaphragm and the toric breaking and to emit the full, round and vibrating sounds, without vacillation or trembling, with ease without forcing the volume of the voice.

- Repertoire: the range of the lyric repertoire is very wide. You have to find the right personal piece for everyone at the base of their voice, preferences and musical taste.

- Emotions: with music one can express a very wide range of emotions. To be able to express emotions that you want, you have to know and understand them. With the help of specific excercises we can learn how to memorize positive emotions and how to overcome negative emotions such as stalking.

- Solfége: for beginners I also propose the course of the solfége base (the musical writing, the rhythm and the musical theory) on request, which can be part of the singing course.

The course can take place at addresses in Geneva or at the student's home in Geneva.

Our teacher using, if necessary, an electro-acoustic guitar to better accompany your voice and guide some of its subtleties, the teaching philosophy is adapted to each level, according to the pace of work and motivation.

Program :
- musical techniques: theory (examples: support, modes, colors, effects such as vibrato, etc.) automatically followed, for each of the exercises, by practice (examples: exercises focusing on accuracy, sound production, "mountains Russian ", time, note hold, diction, vowels etc.)
- work on breathing and breathing management
- body awareness
- stability
- resonance
- improvisation / free expression
- improved vocal comfort
- varied repertoire (adapting to your preference)
- well-being by the vibration of the voice
- personal or artistic development - accuracy, note keeping and precision - vocal modes including timbre
- volumes: softness and power - sound colors: from dark to light - vocal effects, range requirements - nuances: volumes, mimics, attitudes, sound quality - exploration of musical styles (folk, pop, classical, blues, rock, song, World music ...)
- improvisation, effects and vocal games, harmonies
-interpretation: work on emotions, body language, stage presence.

Objective: acquire a solid vocal technique allowing you to sing with accuracy, ease and expressiveness.

Musical learning meanwhile, will develop your ability to listen and reproduce music, your sense of rhythm, your expressiveness, your creativity and musicality as well as reading sheet music.

The work is focused on multidisciplinarity: voice, vocal health, music and bodily expressiveness, with an emphasis on the acquisition of an optimal vocal placement, on stress management in public and on interpretation.

This progressive and tailor-made method aims to develop your voice:
-Breathing techniques
-Vocalises and technical exercises adapted to needs;
- Repertoire work
- Accompaniment for studio recording and scenic performance
-dynamic exploration, diversification and release of one's voice while having fun and going beyond one's limits.

As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers, available all year round.


TEACHER / TRAINER

Trained in Grandes Ecoles in France and the United States (Ivy League University), our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in North America and Europe, in the field, in international establishments renowned, and oriented on one axis: effective training with pedagogy and meticulous methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES, FEES
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.
