Jazz, Rock, Alternative and Pop Singing Lessons with Lucy Francesca

From 47 £ /h

I will be offering singing lessons across multiple genres, tailored to each student’s individual goals, experience level, and learning style and will also take an approach that allows students to really express themselves and their voice.

I believe great music tuition is about far more than technique; it is about building a student’s confidence, nurturing their curiosity, and making every lesson something they genuinely look forward to. In my singing lessons, I can adapt my approach to everyone’s goals and learning style, whether that means preparing a student for an examination, developing performance confidence, or simply helping a beginner fall in love with their instrument.

About Me

I am a multi-instrumentalist with a passion for mentoring and guiding young musicians. I am a trained cellist, contemporary singer, guitarist and keyboard player with a combination of formal training and qualifications in addition to years of industry experience.

Music has been at the centre of my life since childhood: I come from a family of musicians, educators, and performers, and the value of great teaching is something I have grown up understanding firsthand.

My formal training began at the Young Conservatorium, Brisbane, Queensland where I studied cello from an early age and developed the technical discipline and ear for music that has shaped my playing ever since. I went on to attend a specialist music industry high school, where my studies in contemporary voice and guitar deepened alongside a broader understanding of the music industry and songwriting.

I have 10 years of experience working in bands and performing live around the world and am extremely passionate about sharing this experience with others with the intention to get them to feel the most confident in themselves, their potential and their instruments as possible.

Drums, as with bass guitar are the backbone of any good song, and the foundation upon which the music is built. Despite not being as famous as lead vocals or lead guitar. Drums in my opinion is much more fun, at all levels of performance.

I will teach you how to play the drums, how to fit the style to the genre and we will learn by practice by breaking down the famous classics, and explain what part drums played to make these classics so good.

We will use my electronic drumset, which is not as good as the real thing but is definitely good for starters. There are ways you can practice at home without a drumset as well. And we can expand later and rent a studio room, where I can jam with you on the guitar even!

Thanks to my year abroad in Marseille, France (2015/16), I speak fluent French. I am also currently studying French and Spanish philology, with French as my main subject. French has always been one of my favorites in the languages I speak, whether it's because of the beautiful sound of the language or my experience in France. And I would like to share my knowledge with you.
Together we can improve your French skills and make lessons based on your difficulties. I will be happy to help you overcome obstacles in your individual learning process and do it in a fun way.

I'm a former New York City voice teacher/coach, professional singer and an award winning composer who has relocated to Berlin. I've taught with the most reputable children's musical theatre organizations in NYC with students of all ages as well as private students and I've worked with Broadway stars such as Laura Osnes, Karen Mason and Ron Bohmer, who have also recorded my music, and I'm excited to bring my 20 yrs of teaching experience to Berlin! I teach songwriting as well, if that is something you're interested in.

I'm a classically trained singer who performed with the San Francisco Opera and other companies both in opera and musical theatre for many years. Though I specialize now in musical theatre, I am happy and comfortable teaching you to sing in whatever style you prefer. The basics are the same! In our lessons, we will work on breath, correct vowel pronunciation, placement, diction, etc... as well as getting rid of the tension and habits that keep us from singing freely and beautifully. We will also work on the musical and dramatic aspects of the material we choose together, so that you will feel comfortable at an audition or a performance. And I keep lessons fun so that you can both learn and progress each week AND enjoy yourself!

Whether just starting out or a professional who needs help working on an audition or role, I can help you reach your goals!

How to work the voice ? Practice ? Perform ? Compose ? Interpret a song ?
It's through technic but also practising songs from your favourite artists that you understand how to place your voice and sing your song and achieve your musical journey. Starting from the basics like breathing support, vocal routines, learning songs to practising stage presence, composition.
In my classes, I go through all this points and focus on what the student needs and wish to learn.

I had the chance to learn with the greatest Jazz singers of the New York scene. I studied, Jazz, Pop, Classical singing, which lead me to understand the voice in its full. For five years I focused on performing and touring with my different projects, and there I built my skills for the stage and being comfortable in front of a crowd.

Stuck? I can help! If you know what you want your music to do (where your artistic North Star is guiding you), I can help you get more mileage out of your musical ideas. If you don't, I can help you articulate your aesthetic so you don't get lost as often. Through the analysis of great music, the composition of miniatures, and feedback on your current projects, you’ll both increase your technical fluency and simultaneously learn to love and develop your unique voice.

Singing should be one thing above all: fun! My lessons focus on your personal development and your well-being. I tailor each lesson to your voice, your level, and your goals – whether it's just for fun, to prepare for performances, or for exams.

Together, we'll work on your singing and breathing technique and find the perfect place for your voice. You choose songs you'd like to sing—or I can help you find suitable pieces. Whether it's musicals, pop, rock, jazz, or soul—I'll accompany you in a wide variety of musical styles.

A typical lesson includes:
Warm-up: Relaxation and breathing exercises for a relaxed start
Voice training: Exercises through all registers (chest, mixed and head voice)
Song work: Interpretation and technical implementation of your desired song

The combination of technique and emotion is particularly important to me. We delve into the lyrics to find the right feeling for your interpretation – this will make your singing authentic and expressive.

Let's discover and develop your voice together! I look forward to hearing from you.

I look forward to meeting you,
Marco

In our lessons, we work on topics such as breathing technique, posture, resonance, intonation, expression, and musical interpretation. I tailor the lessons to your personal goals and skill level, whether you want to sing classical music, opera, musicals, or simply with more freedom and confidence.
