About Me

Work on being because singing is a work of intimacy. Here, we spare the effort to the maximum to free the voice, thanks to the full awareness of his body and its positioning. Here, finally, where it is first the body that speaks, in the service of the voice.
After several periods of work, the student will have become more aware that “their instrument is their body”.
Benevolence mutual listening and respect, there is no judgment, it is excluded from the outset

Education

Higher Conservatory of Berlin, Bachelor of Singing at the famous singer of Lied Thomas Quasthoff and Renate Faltin. Masterclass at different teachers including Emma Kirkby, Dean Smith, Julia Varady.

Experience / Qualifications

After completing his singing studies in 2019 at the renowned “Hanns Eisler” school in Berlin, the young Swiss-French-speaking tenor is currently singing freelance. During his training, he forged his voice and perfected his musicality with various renowned teachers such as Thomas Quasthoff, Renate Faltin, Sami Kustaloglu, Robert Dean Smith or even Wolfram Rieger. Her voice was nourished, during her early years, by baroque music and German Lied, but it was during her last two years of opera training that she truly blossomed. During these years, he was chosen to participate in various masterclasses, notably with Emma Kirkby, Antonio Lemmo and Graham Johnson.

He had his first successes on stage during the production of Gluck's opera Armide at the Neuköllner Oper in Berlin, as well as in the role of Don José in Carmen with the collective ”Hauen und Stechen”. The latter performed in Paris at the Athénée - Louis Jouvet theater. He also embodies the role of Cecco in Haydn's opera Il Mondo della luna and still plays several small roles in operas such as Rosenkavalier, Idomeneo, nozze di figaro, Die Lustigen Weibern and Fledermaus.
He participates in many baroque concerts and performs the areas in the Passions according to Saint-Jean and according to Saint-Mathieu by JS Bach.
Since 2015 he has been a member of the “MGV” Walhalla zum Seidlwirt ”. This a capella quintet is made up of young international singers who take up many elements of classical and folk culture in a classic and unconventional way. They perform on various stages, notably at the Brucknerhaus Linz, the Konzerthaus Berlin and the Sziget festival Budapest.

Discover, develop and maintain your voice!

I offer singing and music theory lessons for all ages, from beginners to people wishing to join professional singing classes.
and this in various styles of music, from opera to variety through traditional singing, pop music and Gregorian chant.

I also practice vocal coaching for actors, teachers, lawyers ... or anyone else who wants it.

My pedagogy develops first of all on the work of the body with exercises that are inspired by Qi-Qong, Yoga or even the martial arts that I have practiced for more than fifteen years.
These are great ways to develop the muscles necessary for the proper functioning of the voice and breath.
Then, the work of the voice is exercised with a multitude of simple vocalizations to speak and sing with the most ease and the least effort possible.
This can be applied to any style of vocal music since the basis remains the same: voice and body.

I have practiced lyric singing as a tenor for many years already. I started my studies in France at the National School of Music in Villeurbanne
before finishing my training in Switzerland with the Swiss tenor Jörg Dürmuller. Today I have a master's degree in opera at the Haute Ecole des Arts in Bern.
I regularly perform on stage at the opera or in concert, in Switzerland and abroad.

Express yourself, breathe, support your voice: a singing lesson has many technical and artistic facets. With a master's degree in vocal pedagogy, it seems essential to me that learning music is a pleasant, motivating and enriching learning! Whatever your age, your level, whether you want to sing opera or musical comedy, do not hesitate to contact me for a lesson.

How is a singing lesson going?
The first half of the course is generally dedicated to working on the body and breathing, essential for singing, and to the vocalizations necessary for good technical work (we will address the questions of voice placement, support, resonance, treble...).
The second part of the course is devoted to one or more pieces. It's about applying the technical elements, but also, through working on the repertoire, developing your own musical personality and your expressiveness... and above all, having fun!
Regarding the repertoire: I give lessons in lyrical singing and musical comedy.
I can integrate musical training / ear training courses, especially through improvisation.

My journey :
Lyric singer, I have passionately given music lessons for over ten years. My taste for teaching led me to a Master's degree in Pedagogy, and I graduated in 2019 from the Haute Ecole de musique de Lausanne.
Independent teacher, I share my life between my students (singing lessons, music theory, piano, group or individual lessons, internships ... with adults and children) and concerts.
I specialize in baroque music, but I also really enjoy musical comedy and improvised singing.

Throughout my singing studies, in addition to my training as a soloist, I sang a lot in choir, which allowed me to often perform in concert and to record several discs, one of which was awarded a tuning fork. Golden.
In order to complete my musical studies, I also followed a course in music theory and piano.
I also took training in Qi Gong and Pilates, two sports disciplines that are very useful for singers.

How to learn to sing? To sing just and well? To answer these complex questions, I was interested in phonatory mechanisms, with speech therapists and phoniatres, I studied singing with a dozen singing teachers, I participated in many Masterclasses and trained myself in different institutions: first at the conservatories of Vaulx-en-Velin and Mâcon, then at the Regional Conservatory of Montpellier, and finally at the Haute Ecole de Musique in Lausanne where I am currently studying with Leontina Vaduva.

It is first of all through passion that I want to convey what I have learned. This is felt, according to the words of my students, in my way of teaching which reconciles the rigor of art and the pleasure of singing.

In my pedagogical approach, I clearly separate the vocal technique and the art of singing, that is to say the management of an objective mechanism, physical and physiological, of sound production (articulation of the language, management of the pressures subglottic and supra-glottic to achieve a pneumo-phono-resonantial balance), and the shaping of this sound to achieve musical beauty (make a beautiful "legato" line, tempo variations, nuances, etc.). ).

When I start with a new student, I first make a diagnosis to determine the range of the voice, the level of resonantial passages, and check the health of the larynx (tonicity, endurance, flexibility).

The typical course begins with vocal technique exercises and ends with the work of a musical piece. I adapt my course according to the needs of each one (for example, I can start with a Feldenkreis or Alexander technique exercise, relaxation, breath, or a physical warm-up), but also according to the desires and tastes of the student (the technical part will last more or less long).

Considering that the stage is important for personal fulfillment and to set goals in music, I propose to my students to participate in the auditions and group lessons of the music school where I work in Lutry.

Discover singing, deepen your technique, your music theory, work on particular aspects to feel totally free, and fully develop your vocal potential?

Holder of a Master 2 from the Haute Ecole de Lausanne in Lyrical Singing, I sang for 4 years at the Lausanne Opera. I have been teaching singing for 7 years, whatever your age and level.

I am passionate about pedagogy and learning methods, as well as bodily aspects which are fundamental in singing, breathing, posture... And this work has an impact on a daily basis!

Do not hesitate to contact me to take classes, making you happy!

In my teaching I try as much as possible to follow the path that the student wants to lead. Before even starting the course we will agree on the purpose of the course and the path to take.

In my approach to singing I focus a lot on the body, breathing and their coordination.
This means, to start with information about the body, its functionality and also the corresponding exercises.
I prefer to act slowly in my teaching - with an adapted repertoire, and exercises that warm the voice gently.
My 17 years of piano lessons allow me afterwards to accompany you, which gives a complete musical experience.

You will find a benevolent setting where you can try, start again, make mistakes, without judgment and with pleasure.
No prerequisites for getting started. Your rhythm will be respected as well as the style and choice of repertoire you want to work on: pop, current music, musical or classical singing.

Come fearlessly with your questions and your desires!

Individual lessons for teenagers / adults

- Technical work: breath, voice development through exercises adapted to the level and profile of each
- Work on a piece from the repertoire: Putting technical work into practice on a piece chosen by the practitioner or by teaching for educational reasons. This moment also allows you to develop the learning of music theory if necessary.
Objective: to be able to sing a piece while being comfortable with the accompaniment so that interpretation and pleasure predominate.

Semi-private lessons

For all ages, levels or tessitura. Form your small group (mixed or not) to do a group singing workshop!

- Technical collective work. General approach to singing but also adapted to the needs of each one via bodywork and vocal warm-up.
- The course is adapted according to the needs and desires of the group. However, I suggest two ways of working:
o Soloist work: each participant brings a piece they wish to work on. Personalized working time that allows other participants to develop listening skills and learn by watching. We help each other, we advise each other with respect and kindness.
o Choral work: Singing in several voices is an important part of singing and helps to broaden the repertoire. Work a capella or with the accompaniment of a piece with several voices in order to develop listening to the other, create one and the same voice with several, open up and decomplex!

No need to know how to read music! As a choir director, I developed learning tools to allow non readers to work their scores on their own.

Musical awakening course from 4 years old.

We discover in this workshop the sounds, the rhythms, the instruments. We dance, we sing, we have fun, we learn by playing!

I offer individual lessons of 30 min for children between 4 and 7 years old. It is also possible to form small groups to take a sibling or a group already formed. The course time can be adapted according to the desire of the child or the size of the group formed.

Musical awakening lessons from 7 years old

Music lessons where we develop the basics of musical awakening.
The child is better able to learn more complex rhythms as well as songs sung in one or two voices. We develop our ear, our voice always with pleasure and having fun!

Singer with a diploma in musical studies and a Bachelor's degree in Lyric singing from the Haute École de Musique de Lausanne, I offer singing lessons.
I offer physical exercises, for the breath, the posture and the voice as well as a work on pieces.
We will thus approach both vocal technique, musicality and interpretation.

I choose the vocalizations and exercises of the course according to each one, the level and the different technical points that we approach. We are working on songs that you have chosen and / or that I can offer you. In the pieces I propose a technical work on the emission of the voice but also on the phrasing and the interpretation.

I adapt to your requests according to your goals, to help you find a healthy show and develop your voice with the pleasure of singing.

Do not hesitate to contact me !

Graduated from a Bachelor in Lyric Singing at the Haute École de Musique in Lausanne, I offer singing lessons.

For more than 7 years, I have been giving lessons in a private setting and already have many rich educational experiences which are also a source of personal development for me. I am now starting a Master in Pedagogy specializing in the discipline of singing.

I have also had the chance to perform in professional group or solo concerts and in several styles of music (Classical, jazz...).

I adapt to the expectations of each student to the tastes of each, in different musical styles: Lyrical, Variety or Jazz singing. The practice of singing remains a pleasure that I like to share with others. My goal is also to make you technically evolve and make you aware of all your potential and your ability to progress.

Any body capable of speaking can sing, it suffices to train it. ;)

I am a pianist and I will also know how to accompany you (if you already practice an instrument and that you accompany yourself: it would be a joy to combine the two disciplines).

I come to your home, in Lausanne, Morges, Rolle, Renens, Vevey and everywhere else around Lausanne.

I look forward to discovering your voices and meeting you.

Holder of a Diploma in Teaching Singing (Master of Pedagogy) as well as a First Prize in Virtuosity (Master of Soloist) from the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne, I also have a Diploma of Technician in the Operating Room from the Ecole Supérieure de la Santé de Lausanne which allowed me to acquire great knowledge in human anatomy.
After discovering the magnificent work of Robin de Haas, I chose to train in MDH respiratory coordination in order to further refine my knowledge of the human instrument that is the voice.
I am happy today to bring together all these skills in order to best support my students on the extraordinary path that is that of the voice.

The lessons begin with work on breathing and posture, they continue with vocalizations across the entire range in order to equalize the registers and allow the amplification of the voice, then end with work on the scores and their interpretation.
This list is not exhaustive and the course of the lesson depends of course on the level and the request of the student.

The lessons are intended for anyone motivated by working on their voice, from novice singers to professionals looking for interpretation advice, including amateur choristers and singers with vocal difficulties.

I look forward to welcoming you to Epalinges and traveling a long way with you!
