Singing lessons in Brussels: vocal technique, breathing and interpretation

From 45 £ /h

I offer individual lessons tailored to each student's experience, desires, and needs.
The body plays a significant role in vocal work. We explore breath in both spoken and sung voice through vocal, physical, and theatrical exercises. The sessions also include relaxation and tension-release exercises that you can incorporate into your daily life.
We work on the songs you want to sing, according to your tastes and musical interests. I can also suggest songs to help you discover new musical styles or explore certain aspects of singing in more depth.
When the opportunity arises, we also sing together, to develop listening skills and share the joy of making music. If you wish, we can also explore writing lyrics and performing them, using your own words or texts we create together.

About Me

I am Irene, a jazz singer, composer, improviser and teacher of Italian music, based in Brussels.
My background combines artistic practice with teaching. I enjoy guiding each student in discovering their voice, taking into account their experience, desires, and musical sensitivity.
My approach fosters a dialogue between vocal technique, body awareness, listening, and creativity. I incorporate exercises from theater to explore breathing, relaxation, and expression in both spoken and sung voice. We choose the pieces together, based on your preferences, and we also have the opportunity to explore improvisation and songwriting.
Alongside teaching, I develop artistic projects around composition, collective improvisation and the links between voice and movement.

I graduated from the Conservatoire de Nice CNRR (France) in jazz guitar.
I studied there for seven years with renowned professors such as Jean Paul Ceccarelli (Sting), Pierre Bertrand, Robert Persi or Philippe Petit.
My teaching method is flexible and I adapt it to the needs and desires of the student.
We will discuss the technical work on the instrument, the knowledge of the neck and chords and the rhythm. With or without solfege.
The goal is to provide the student with the necessary tools so that he can continue learning by himself at home.

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.

Do you want to know your vocal range? To be able to sing higher notes without damaging your voice? To learn how to hit transitional notes? To achieve a powerful yet agile voice? To master belting, twang, distortion, etc.?

My name is Matteo, I'm a songwriter, pop and jazz singer, and vocal coach with 20 years of experience in music. I offer singing lessons for all levels and ages. My lessons focus on developing body, muscle, and vocal awareness, helping you perceive and consider your body as a musical instrument.

My teaching method is the result of the synthesis of my experience as a singer and the many and diverse study paths followed. The lesson is structured in two parts: the first half devoted to vocal technique, the second half to the musical repertoire and learning the musical language (jazz or pop or other genre).

The vocal technique that I propose is a basic technique for all types of modern singing: from postural education to the care of breathing, from the use of abdominal muscles, to the emission of air to the resonance cavities. We will work on the sound, on the extension of the voice, on the high and low notes, on the passage of register, on the control, on the power and agility.

From a repertoire perspective, the lessons will be tailored to the student's needs and interests, with an emphasis on proper stage presence and posture. I can prepare students for conservatory entrance exams and all types of auditions. If the student wishes, I can also provide instruction in harmony and music reading.

The Human Voice has an intimate and emotional connection with our physical body and mentality, whenever we express ourself through speaking, singing, improvising or simply long to express what words cannot, the voice is one of the most direct and authentic ways to connect with ourselves and with others.

Drawing on my professional training in Jazz Vocal at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, my background in Chinese traditional music, and years of personal practice in yoga and qigong, I have developed an organic, embodied approach to vocal expression. Rather than focusing only on vocal technique, I guide students to explore the relationship between breath, body awareness, deep listening, and the natural flow of energy (Qi). Through this process, the voice becomes freer, more grounded, and more expressive.

My lessons are open to singers of all levels, as well as anyone who wishes to reconnect with their voice. Whether your goal is to sing, improvise, build confidence, or discover a more authentic way of expressing yourself, I offer a supportive and creative space where curiosity and individuality are encouraged.

I am a saxophonist and music student with around ten years of experience, with a background in both classical and jazz music. I studied at a music high school before specializing in jazz at Siena Jazz, where I developed a strong foundation in saxophone, improvisation, harmony and music theory.
As a teacher, I like to create a relaxed and motivating environment where students can learn at their own pace. I believe that lessons should be adapted to each student's level, interests and goals. We can work on technique, sound, reading, improvisation, jazz language, theory or simply learn to play the music you enjoy.
Whether you are a complete beginner or already have some experience, my goal is to help you become more confident with your instrument while developing your own musical personality. I particularly enjoy working with students who are curious and want to explore different styles and approaches to music.
