Singing, vocal technique for speaking and singing.

A TCM-certified vocal instructor and vocal coach, I teach beginning and advanced singers, amateur and pro.
I teach principles of healthy, balanced phonation using the TCM approach.
TCM is an evidence-based approach to vocal health for speaking and singing, developed by British voice researcher and teacher Allan Wright. It is based on current research in vocal physiology, acoustics, vocal rehabilitation and vocal pedagogy, and caters to all singers, regardless of musical style or aesthetics. I also provide classes to actors and all other voice professionals who wish to train or re-train their voice for speaking or singing.
I also offer artistic coaching in my classes, approaching interpretation in full respect of the style in which singers wish to express their artistry, providing them with a toolbox of targeted, effective, playful techniques to help them achieve their musical goals.
I like to create and maintain a collaborative, focused and benevolent working atmosphere in all of my classes and workshops.
As a singer, I self-accompany on piano or guitar, and I offer singers who accompany themselves training tips to enhance their self-accompanied singing and/or playing.

Singers/actors/voice professionals may choose to have lessons either on a regular basis or occasionally, whenever they seek a solution to a particular vocal problem.
Each class includes a vocal warm-up, discussion of vocal or musical objective for the class, followed by work on a song or text - or passage from a song or text - which the singer needs technical or musical help with. Classes end with a short vocal cool-down and a recap of what we worked on and what proved most helpful, so that students know precisely what to work on between classes.

I was trained and certified in Nantes (France) by Allan Wright, and have been teaching TCM since 2012 to singers who express themselves in different musical styles. I also use TCM in corporate and community settings to help voice professional from all venues. TCM brings about rapid and lasting benefits both to singers who wish to develop a healthy, powerful singing voice, and to singers or speakers who seek relief from vocal fatigue and need to retrain their voice to cope with the vocal demands of their profession.

About Me

I grew up in a musical home and have been a musician since childhood. Early on, I developed a deep love and appreciation for the voice and for singing - and for working with singers, which I first did as an accompanist with voice classes and vocal ensembles when I was still in my teens.

Before studying voice, I graduated with a B.M. and a M.M. in classical guitar from the University of Southern California (Los Angeles).

While living in L.A. I took part in many new music projects, performing on guitar, piano or early instruments. As a lutenist and theorbo player I was active on the early music scene in Southern California and France. I also performed extensively as part of a voice and guitar duo with baritone Nmon Ford.

I taught non-major classical guitar and lute in several Paris area conservatories for ten years, while also working extensively as a rehearsal pianist and accompanist with voice classes, vocal ensembles and professional singers, and studying vocal jazz.

In the early 2000’s, I turned to composing, songwriting, playing and singing with several Paris-area based folk and pop-rock bands. In 2009 I formed my own band, Flora | Miles, with Ciprian-Florin Stancu. In 2012, we released our first album "Fontanelle".
I perform and record under my birth name Claire Delerue.

I was fortunate to meet British vocal researcher and pedagogue Allan Wright at a time in my life when I decided to retrain my voice after years of vocal instruction that had left me with more questions than answers. From my first contact with Allan’s teaching and with the TCM approach to singing, I experienced a wealth of “a-ha” moments, discovering how my voice works and - most of all - how I can make it work for me rather than against me!

I then decided to train as a TCM teacher in order to help singers and voice professionals explore and enjoy their full vocal potential as well.
I graduated from the first TCM Teacher Training Course after completing a research thesis and Master level coursework in vocal anatomy and physiology, vocal pathologies, vocal analysis, acoustics applied to singing, motor skill learning theories and learner-centered pedagogy, musical styles and dialects.

I love my work and the excitement of vocal problem-solving! I make it a point that each lesson bring something new and positive to the singer who comes for help. Oftentimes, they already sound great and it's just a matter of making things feel easier or more comfortable. Just helping someone accomplishing that so that their singing feels easier and more natural than before is extremely rewarding!

So it allowed me to work with children, teens and adults with quite wide range of interests and needs: some students needed/wanted to learn particular composition(s), sometimes pop songs arrangements, some were interested in “introduction” to the music, some wanted to renew skills they gained in their childhood and continue their journey to the music world. As for singer who studied a lot about different approaches, technics and singing schools "Speech Training" was a part of the main subjects. It is extremely important to have clear pronunciation, make it sound free/relaxed (without any tension or unhealthy blocks) more confident, and emotional. On our Speech training lessons I will help you to make your speech more clear, your voice will sound more healthy and confident.

Intensive private latin dance courses (Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, Chacha, Zouk antillais, Kuduru-african dance, Brazilian zouk)
Private lessons / intensive Latin dance training (Cuban salsa, porto / LA salsa, bachata, merengue, chacha, zouk antillais, African kuduru-dance, Brazilian zouk *) (* = it's THE dance of the moment that paradoxically has nothing zouk or anything Brazilian - today it's pop music for two, mixing creativity, sensuality, air fluidity that plays a lot with the movements of bust, head and body undulations.) METHODOLOGY Learn dance and let talk about your body / emotions, make the difference in the evening ("social dancing") or prepare an event (wedding for example): Focused on pedagogy, technique and pleasure, the dance space offers personalized and individualized courses of Salsa (porto on 1, Cuban), Bachata, Merengue, Kuduru-African dance, Zouk Antillais, Zouk Brazilian (pop music) (...) according to your desires. Objective: to adapt to your request and your desire. In the eyes of many neophytes, a couple who dance well performs spectacular figures. To dance is to tell / live together a story, to produce beauty in movement and to make the steps, the attitudes and the connections between the various actions aesthetic / harmonious. This fluidity is born of emotion, felt and transmitted. Simplicity, communication, listening, sharing, emotion, valorization of the other: it is, in addition to technical knowledge (body expression, rhythmic, visual), what you will improve during this training at evolutive levels. In a friendly atmosphere, you will be taken in hand whatever your initial level. Objective: a combination between on the one hand, intuition / feeling / improvisation and on the other hand, technique. It is possible to take the course in couple or solo. According to your desire, it is possible to propose 70% of a 1st dance, 30% of another complementary dance, the bases of the one influencing the other. Whether you are preparing a "choreography" for a special event (wedding, birthday, work, etc.), a show or simply looking to improve your skills to impress on the dance floor, the final learning of these courses consists in : * perform a beautiful interpretation of the music with appropriate movements, in addition to performing a dynamic work that involves a footwork and body movements adapted * execute an appropriate technique that will allow you to shine quickly on the dance floor, relying on the strong point of private lessons * Set up style, movement, footwork, and adjusted body coordination, allowing for rapid dance progression, while taking advanced base steps and a variety of movements, allowing you to not only acquire a sensual style but also to improve his own improvisational abilities, focusing on the characteristics of modern dance. * work on your balance, your musicality, your body strength (...), while having fun, while you train and radically improve the coordination of your body. In summary, these courses are at the beginner level (basic steps with some general variations), intermediate (faster speed and more concentration on technique, body mechanics, control, footwork, posture, balance and more complex movements) or advanced (for slightly more experienced dancers). Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 or 3 sessions *. (* study 2020) To respond to requests received, it is indeed possible to offer this course (birthday, party, christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice. TEACHER / TRAINER In Europe, Latin America or North America, our teacher has specialized and worked for more than 17 years in the field of dance, in renowned international institutions, with for words the individualized pedagogy, and the careful methodology , all anchored in a pleasant and jovial moment. LOCATION, SCHEDULE - Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of live (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (example: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (example: notes that can be re-read on the chat). In this context, the videoconference sessions for which you asked me to seem to suit everyone perfectly, take place very optimally and generate a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option. Take good care of yourself and yours! PROGRAM A la carte program: evaluated and adapted to each need.
