Discover your authentic voice! Singing lessons for children and adults of all levels.

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I offer private singing lessons in Ghent with piano or guitar accompaniment. Knowledge of music theory is not necessary, the desire to sing and to work is sufficient! We consider warming up, technique and intention, but the pleasure of singing is always paramount.
For me, singing is the best thing there is and I am happy to help you on your way to discover your own voice. Already 10 years of experience as a professional singer (Sophia plays Leonard Cohen, Ansatz der Maschine, Little Dots) 5 years of experience as a singing teacher. I also have experience in working with groups at singing workshops and in music education with young children.
Do not hesitate to contact us, the first time we meet for a no-obligation introductory lesson.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Hello, I'm Sophia, I teach singing lessons and I also perform on stage myself. My two great passions are playing music and passing on the joy of playing music to others. In singing lessons it is a new journey of discovery with every student and that is what I find so fascinating and educational about this work! Singing can make people blossom and I find it extremely valuable work to support students in this.

Everyone can sing! - lessons of singng for all levels of a classic singer -
>Does Julie all want to know how Paul Potts by Susan Boyle can sing like that? ->Do you sing in a choir and want to improve your vocal skills? ->Do you need a certain manner to give your personality a voice, but not law how? ->Do you need help to prepare for music exams or do you want to study? sing and no one needs to prepare your piece? I was offering singing lessons in GERMAN and ENGLISH and DUTCH -> -> The readings currently take place in Ghent, Antwerp or Brussels The three pieces of my different philosophy: 1. Body awareness 2. Enjoy yourself and your voice 3. The voice is used in the best manner! I'm a classically trained student from Germany and I'm playing as a concert soloist in Koren and I've heard what he's saying about it with a repeat performance. We can get there. I know that all of them can be heard and that all kinds of music are in this place. I've got the opportunity to get to know each other :)

Singing course and vocal coaching for those who want to learn to sing and who want to learn to use the voice better
No, we don't think that being able to sing is absolutely necessary for actors. Not every actor or actress has the ambition to appear in a musical and not every series or film features singing. Still, vocal coaching is a good idea... whether you want to learn to sing or not! With your course fee you can participate in any of our courses whenever you want. This way you can not only learn to act, but also taste our courses in debate and presentation techniques (our TV course), communication, singing, improvisation, 'physical acting', lie detection, hypnosis, directing, or writing! Of course, the following applies: the more you follow 1 particular course, the faster you progress. More info Anyone who has ambitions as a singer or who wants to expand his or her skills to make it easier to land a role will soon end up taking singing lessons... but also those who have no intention of ever performing songs. can benefit greatly from vocal coaching. You often have to be on set for a long time and then it is important to use your voice properly, so that it does not get tired and you can speak as powerfully after hours of recording as before. Finally, it is very useful to be able to put different effects on your voice. Just think of the raspy character of Gollum in The Lord of the Rings, the barking explanations of Samson, the full voice of Kabouter Plop or the grunted insults exchanged in The Chronicles of Sabrina. Judiciously used voice effects can not only add color to characters, they are sometimes essential or almost automatically arise from emotional moments. So being able to use them correctly and maintain control over them without damaging your vocal cords is essential. What you learn As is the case with almost all of our courses, we teach you techniques from different approaches. For our singing lessons, these are Speech Level Singing (SLS), Estill Voice Training (EVT) and Complete Vocal Technique (CVT). Here are some things that will pass in review: • The similarities and differences between the three major singing techniques • Using support • The larynx, lips, and other organs that help control voice production • Add necessary twang • Add air or not • Different vocal modes (with CVT): neutral, curbing, overdrive and edge. • Variety of voice effects including: creaking, distortion, grunting, rattling, screaming, vibrato and ornamentation • For actors: relationship between voice color, effects and the playing of all kinds of characters • For actors: the relationship between stem kle Extras • Help with the CV • Assistance with admissions • Help in choosing the right equipment • Help with finding auditions • Syllabus with pdf of the book Complete Vocal Technique You can participate whenever you want!

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.

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.
