Singing Lessons - Holistic approach (Technique, styles, performance, improvisation, voice recording)

From 99.56 £ /h

I am a professional singer with more than 10 years of vocal training and performance experience. I will help you to explore and develop your own voice and give you proper knowledge of your instrument.
I am in love with music since my childhood and started learning the piano and violin at the age of 7. Since singing has always been my main passion, I started taking classical singing lessons at the age of 12 and contemporary singing a few years later. After finishing my high school education, I decided to move to London to get a wider perspective, where I started writing and realising my own songs and where I got to play in many venues such as The O2 Islington, 229 Venue, the Blues Kitchen among others with my full band. I also participated in some singing contests, such as Britain Does Variety and Open Mic UK, becoming a Grand Finalist on both shows. All this allowed me to earn stage presence, experience and to improve my skills as a songwriter, performer, bandleader and music arranger. In 2016, I started my education at BIMM, where I graduated from a BETC Diploma on Popular Music Performance (Vocals) and a BMus (Hons) Degree on Popular Music Performance (Vocals). My passion for music and psychology led me to do my final degree dissertation on the link between creativity and mental health, which opened my curiosity about music and vocal therapy, A subject I have been exploring and I like to apply on my lessons.
I've been teaching contemporary singing since 2016.
I'm passionate about taking care of my students' vocal health. Applying mindfulness and music therapy techniques, as well as contemporary techniques such as The Speech Level Technique, Brett Manning's Singing Success Technique or The complete Vocal Technique that allows me to give them all necessary insight into healthy singing techniques and body and mind awareness.
I normally emphasise good technique, interpretation skills and improvisation to give you the tools to find your own sound.
In lessons, we will focus on learning and mastering the songs you are interested in and I will plan the lessons according to the needs of each student. I like encouraging students to explore different contemporary genres such as pop, rock, R&B, soul, but also different styles such as jazz, world or classical music.
I also offer music theory lessons for the same price, if you are interested in improving your musicianship. I am happy to incorporate a bit of theory (or as much as you like!) in the singing lesson plan.

Singer / songwriter, graduate of a Certificate in Higher Education from the Tech Music School (London), I offer an introductory course to music and the stage through the sung voice, the spoken voice, movement and text. The goal of the course is simply to enjoy singing and speaking on stage with playful exercises. The course is aimed at people who have never sung before to more experienced people. Open to children (from 7 years old), teenagers and adults. The course content is divided into three main parts: The musical and vocal exploration (ear development, singing in harmony, vocal improvisation), the movement (rhythm games, body expression, mimes, improvisation, notions of space scenic) and the interpretation of songs (study of text and sub-text of a song, exploration of emotions with voice, gestures, piano, spoken texts, etc.). The program is obviously adapted to the individual needs of each student, and if the student wishes, we can also prepare songs for a specific performance. Private lessons at the student's home (or group course on request), Lausanne and surroundings.

HOLISTIC SINGING TEACHING - THE VOICE LINKED TO SELF
choice of songs and vocal development in accordance with chosen formula, objectives and needs
Your voice, spoken and sung, echoes your identity - Your voice is you. Singing is therefore a very intimate, physical, sensual, emotional act, courageous in self-expression and openness to others. My goal is for you to feel sovereign in your voice, in the broadest sense. Together we are therefore going to meet her, explore what could restrain her and find the strategies to allow her to develop and you with, naturally and freely in the joy of singing.

You will therefore have access at all times to your soundtracks and your courses, in order to review tips, exercises, tools and theory as if you were taking several lessons per week. You will become the actor of your progress which will be fast and solid, Your singing skills and your repertoire will inevitably grow along with your pleasure of singing and your confidence.

CROSS-GENRE TEACHING - BECAUSE YOUR VOICE IS AT THE CROSS-GENDER OF ALL MUSIC
A cross-genre teaching promotes a generic and exhaustive application of the principles of vocal anatomy, physiology and acoustics, unlike traditional teaching, whose cleavages between the specificities of so-called classical genres - choral, lyrical or operatic singing - and modern - pop, rock, jazz, musicals etc ... limit the field of exploration.

Your voice is a unique and intelligent instrument, capable of producing a multitude of qualities of sounds and timbres, of evolving according to your range and of coordinating complex respiratory and laryngeal muscular work.

Your voice remains unique, however. She has found a more or less comfortable genre of predilection, in accordance with your anatomy, your family, musical and linguistic culture. A cross-gender education will allow you to use laryngeal, acoustic and respiratory mechanisms specific to one gender or another, in order to -

develop your natural palette

find out what kind of music your instrument flourishes best in

explore various vocal qualities, laryngeal and acoustic balances and stylistic effects to serve above all the song you are working on

dare other forms of singing such as - Musical, Pop, Rock or Jazz, Classical or Opera

PHYSIOLOGICAL AND ACOUSTIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE VOICE
Learn to master the tools of healthy and comfortable vocal production. With a regular practice of exercises based on the latest research in performance psychology, physiological and acoustic sciences of the voice and in respiratory coordination, you will know-

eliminate breaks in your voice

playing with your larynx, vocal cords, vocal tract, and articulators

improve your stamina and vocal health

effectively manage your breath

sing with more power without ruining your vocal cords

increase your range

Guitarist, singer, poet, composer, performer ... and with 20 years of teaching experience, I am happy to share my experience and my know-how: both from a technical point of view (musical knowledge, instrumental or vocal technique ...) than from a more global point of view: expressiveness, body awareness, confidence, creativity ...

What interests me above all is to guide you towards more relaxation and confidence as well as autonomy with his or her instruments, to accompany his curiosity, to develop his musical sense and give him the means to go towards the music (s) that attract him.
I like to work from what touches you: welcome to those who know what pieces they dream of playing, what style they like!!... instrumental technique and music are learned all the better through what we like (starting from learning a piece to learn a rhythm, reading new notes, knowing more about a style of music, the form of music, etc.)

VOICE RATING
I propose :
- singing lessons: whatever the repertoire targeted, become aware of your body and the vocal gesture, through vocal and body games bring more naturalness and at the same time more control with your own voice;
- vocal and psycho-bodily coaching: specific training aimed at building confidence with one's own voice and expression;

I also support in the preparation of concert or recording: mastery of voice and breath (!), Interpretation, pronunciation, staging;

VERSATILITY and CREATIVITY!
I support all projects that need a guitar AND a voice:
- do you want to sing along? I teach what is missing in guitar, what is missing in vocals and I have a toolbox today full to facilitate the coordination of the two!

- do you want to compose, write songs, or do you have texts but not the chords, you have the melodies but not the words? ... Do you feel stuck in some part of the process? I can help you unwind the thread of your creativity, better understand your gestures, your "dough", find new paths etc ...

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.

A singing lesson is above all your moment, a bubble in your week to have fun, explore something new and progress.

Each of my lessons is adapted to my student, his profile, his desires, what he wants to sing, his level and his goal.
I always start from you to build a course adapted to your learning and your history.

My pedagogy is mainly based on the body, relaxation, relaxation, the connection with your voice and the exploration of your instrument. We will usually start with:
- breathing exercises
- vocalizations and a warming up of vocals
- the work of the songs / Songs that you want to approach

I graduated in singing pedagogy, have studied and continue to be interested in pedagogy and the best way to help you progress. I am also a career opera singer and a regular on the stage, I know what the challenges of the sung voice are, on stage, and I share this experience with my students on a daily basis.

It is an immense joy for me to work with my students and to discover with them their talent and their voice, their joy of singing and of progressing from week to week.

Come and discover your own voice and its possibilities with me. I am a lyric singer (mezzosoprano) and I give lessons for all levels in French, English, German and Dutch.

I am a lyrical singer, mezzosoprano, with a classical training. After starting my studies in Brussels, Belgium, I moved to Berlin, to study at the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler. This is where I got to take lessons with some of the most important singers and pianists in the business, in such an inspiring city. After living in Berlin for 2 years, I spent 6 months in New York, before coming to Switzerland in September 2019 to finish my master's degree in lyric singing at the Haute École de Musique. Apart from my training, I have already sung recitals and festivals in Berlin, New York, Los Angeles, Brussels and Vienna. I also participated in many international singing competitions; in Europe and the United States. I am especially passionate about classical music, specifically opera, but at the same time I also adore jazz, musical, and all other genres.

My goal in giving singing lessons is to help you find and develop your own voice. I want to help you become as free as possible by singing, so that singing becomes even more fun and you feel able to do with your voice what YOU want to do. The primary goal in singing and making music is to have fun above all else! I work with people from all levels; if you are just curious to experiment with your voice, want to sing classical music or something completely different ... i look forward to finding out with you!

Do you want to improve your singing and really experience the love behind your beautiful voice?
Don't feel too shy or not confident. In my class, you will learn how to enjoy singing, music and also learn amazing techniques on how you can become an amazing singer. Learning to sing is not only a fun experience and the action of showing off your talent, but also building your physical body posture confidence and emotionally too. Singing for me is what makes me the happiest when I'm dealing with too much work or stress. It is really fun, and you can not imagine how much you can develop and learn from your voice.

My name is Adi, I'm 18 years old. I live in Lausanne and I'm a music lover like you! I've been breathing music from a really small age. Till now and forevermore. I play the piano, the accordion and I sing every second I can. I've been in the conservatory of music experiencing a choir for the past 10 years in Lausanne Switzerland. I also have great ears and I can play all songs just by listening but I'm also very confident with reading music.

I really recommend trying this beautiful experience for all the music lovers out there. I hope I will be your teacher. Can't wait to hear from you and sharing with you all my love for music and experience. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or doughts about anything regarding music, singing. All questions will be answered fully and with all my patients.

Hope to hear from you.
Never stop creating, performing, and developing your musical skills. Don't give up and you will be able to succeed in anything you wish.

Thank you,

Laurent

Playing percussion for 30 years and having founded the salsa group Nolosé, I love giving congas, djembe or small percussion lessons, as well as learning to dance salsa. I can accompany you on the piano or with other percussion instruments so that each lesson is a pleasure and enriching.

Being both an instrumentalist (guitar) and singer (baritone), my approach is based on the combination of singing and accompanying oneself with an instrument (piano, guitar, etc.). I develop a solid foundation which allows the student's vocal possibilities to be opened up in the pleasure of discovery and music.

For any singing practice, whether variety singing (pop, rock) or opera singing, part of the singing course should ideally incorporate practical work on technique and vocal anatomy. I therefore propose to start by warming up the body and the voice, which allows you to connect to yourself, to your breath. Gradually, the intensity rises, we are therefore heated, and we can then approach the pieces that the student wishes to learn. Vocalization is for me a moment with oneself, a kind of mindfulness meditation. Singing causes a very enjoyable inner vibration. Sometimes I like to start with music that inspires the student and build technical work through that. My lessons contain a "music theory" part that I adapt according to the needs and desires of each student. The more the student is aware of his body and his breath, the more he will have control of his voice, and therefore, always more joy! Being a pianist myself, I accompany the warm-up exercises on the piano, which gives considerable support to the student, as well as the songs and pieces that the student is working on.

I am a passionate singing teacher who is currently training at EJMA as a pre-hem to become a professional in the field.

I firmly believe that singing is a powerful means of artistic expression and communication, and I would like to share this passion with you. Whether you are a beginner or have some experience, I am here to help you achieve your singing goals.

I am open to all styles of music, be it jazz, rock, pop, R&B, hip-hop, or any other form of music that inspires you. I often use the piano as an accompaniment tool for singing exercises, and I can even teach you how to play the piano to accompany you.

In addition to singing lessons, I also give lessons in music theory and MAO (Computer Aided Music) on Logic Pro. These additional skills can help you better understand music theory and record your own compositions.

My lessons are adapted to each student according to their level and their objectives. I am patient and attentive to your needs, and I encourage you to express yourself and explore your own vocal style.

Do not hesitate to contact me for more information on my singing and music lessons, I look forward to working with you!
