Singing lessons (classical and opera) at home; all levels

From 69.61 £ /h

Singing is a unique yet age-old way to express yourself, to relax; to have fun.

Learn the basic techniques of breathing and voice use, get to know beautiful music (with fun background facts of course) and get started with beautiful arias and songs. Just at your home.

Graduated as a performing and teaching singer with a Masters from the Royal Academy of Music and LRAM teaching certificate, I have the right knowledge to help you discover your voice and develop your technique. We work on posture, breath, musicality and use of voice. In addition to experience as a performing singer, I also gave singing lessons and Italian language lessons for years, in different countries.

About Me

As a little girl I was already in love with Italy; I wanted to learn Italian and become an opera singer. Both have succeeded! I now sing freelance at De Nederlandse Opera and speak Italian fluently. I completed my Masters in 2016 at the Royal Academy of Music in London; this is part of the University of London. Here I also obtained my didactic certificate. During and after my studies I have always given language lessons in recent years; both English, Italian and Dutch. I now have more than 10 years of experience sharing my passion for language and culture. Language of course does not stop with grammar and words stomping! It only becomes really fun if you really learn to communicate with others and also learn about the customs and culture of a country. I have experience in teaching children playfully; but I also taught adults of all levels. It is always a challenge for me to adapt to the wishes of the student and to try to achieve the highest possible level for everyone, in a pleasant and relaxed way.

Italian and English lessons - For every age and every level

53.55 £ /h

After having lived for years in Italy (Tuscany) and in London for study and work, we are now back in the Netherlands. I have a teaching degree from the University of London and I have more than 10 years of teaching language lessons; all ages and all levels. Whether you want to improve your English reading skills; vacation Italian wants to learn if you want to expand your vocabulary and listening skills; everything is possible. I always fully adapt to the wishes and level of my student. Some learn better with a book; others prefer to do a lot of conversation. Still others like to learn about the culture and customs of a country. With my background in opera singing, I have a broad knowledge of both the language and culture of Italy and I enjoy sharing this knowledge!
The lessons can take place via Skype, in the coffee cafe in Vathorst or possibly at your home if you live in the area.
Hope to see you soon!

Are you passionate about singing but you don’t dare to do it in front of others? Do you have singers that inspire you and would you like to get closer to their music? Are you too shy to even try to sing? Are you a member of a choir and want to develop your personal voice technique? Then you have come just to the right place!
•••
I have more than 10 years of experience in signing and choir teaching. My method is based on a healthy way of producing sound, trying exercises that benefit the student and that are a totally personal experience. The genre? Your decision! Classical or pop, the choice of repertoire is a two-sided exercise, both you and I create a portfolio that will not only test your voice but will excite you and make your study fun and enjoyable.
The classes are individual and last 45 minutes for teenagers and 1 hour for adults. They can be in person in Amsterdam (Oost) or Hilversum (NL) or online.
•••
The Music Theory lessons are for the ones who want to learn how to read music scores, no matter your level I can keep challenging you with exercises and funny dynamics.

Feel free to contact me with any questions you might have!

Singing to me is the best feeling ever. Your entire body is moving and your head is totally empty of worries. You lose who you are and transform into a new person.
One time you are a prince or princess, the other a warrior fighting a duel. Maybe you stare at a beautiful river or fall in love like never before. All of this and even crazier situations are material for songs. Singing is so much more than just notes, it is about using your fantasy and telling a story. I love this feeling so much that I want to share how you can experience all of this while singing.

In general, singing is a combination of technique (pitches and rhythm), posture, and breathing. Next to that, we have diction, acting, body language, expression, and joy! You sing because you like it!

Singing is for all ages, all levels, and I adapt my lessons to your level.

Don't worry if you can't read sheet music, it is a bonus if you can.

If you have any questions feel free to write me a message.

(For Dutch scroll down)

Feel the urge to spread your musical talents outside of the bathroom? Bored with watching Netflix and looking for a new hobby? Or do you want to become a professional, and need help preparing for auditions?

Good news! Coming December I will start giving individual singing lessons!

Who I am?
Hi! My name is Jobbe. Once upon a time, I was an aspiring academic, but longing for a more creative way to share my voice I started singing and quite I recently graduated form the Master of Music program direction Music Theatre. I know how arduous the artistic journey can be yet, we take it none the less, because we are all striving for this little moment of magic that arises when everything falls into place. For me, I saw this happening many times during a performance but also in coaching others and it gives me chills every time. And I would be honoured to help you pass on this little spark of magic to others!

As I am only just starting with these individual lessons for a limited time they are available.

From the technique and theory of singing to performative qualities and coaching, I can help! Together we can work to get your singing to the next level!

So feel free to send me a message and I hope to hear from you soon!

Wil je nu ook wel eens buiten de douche wil zingen? Zoek je een nieuwe hobby in deze tijden.
Wil je verder in het vak? Dat treft want ik heb tijden beschikbaar om zanglessen te geven.

Wie ben ik?
Ik ben Jobbe, aangenaam! Recent afgestudeerd aan het conservatorium in tilburg in een Master of Music richting muziek theater. Mijn eigen focus ligt op musical, klassiek en kleinkunst repertoire, maar ik kan ook op andere genres coachen.

Van techniek en theorie tot performance, alle facetten van het zangvak kan ik je bij helpen.
Samen kunnen we werken om je zangkunsten naar een nieuw niveau te tillen!

Dus schroom niet en stuur me vooral een berichtje! Hopelijk tot snel!

Singing lessons for all levels and age. For beginners, together we can discover the range of your voice and build the breathing and singing technique. At the same time we will work on music theory, ear training and how to read a score. For mature singers, we can delve into the singing technique and interpretation and add pieces in your repertoire. The lessons are provided both online and in person and can be held in English or Greek. I also speak some Italian and German.

About me
I have been playing the piano for 15 years. I have studied Classical Singing in the Municipal Conservatory of Kalamata (Greece) and I have followed a two-year Early Music Programme in Athens Conservatoire. At the same time I studied Music Theory (Harmony) at the Greek National Conservatoire from which I gained my Harmony degree.
In addition, I have a Bachelor in Early Childhood Education at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.
Here in The Netherlands, I finished my masters at the Utrechts Conservatorium and worked as a singer at the NKK NXT 2022-2023.

I have participated in Operas (“Julius Cesar”- 2015 in Athens Concert Hall and “Alcina”-2019 in Odeon of Herodes Atticus) as a member of a vocal ensemble and I have also performed as a soloist in many concerts. Some of the stages I have performed are: Concertgebouw Amsterdam, TivoliVredenburg, Schouwburg Concertzaal Tilburg, Athens Concert Hall, Greek National Opera and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus.

Do you want to sing with more ease, freedom, confidence and heart?

I teach vocal technique, style, performance and voice health using a blend of tools drawn from classical, jazz, pop, folk and hard rock. I integrate this with elements of breathwork, mindfulness, fitness and energetics, with an emphasis on the pyschology of singing and performance. My greatest wish is to help you explore, refine and free your vocal abilities and express yourself more powerfully than ever, as a singer, songwriter and more.

If you're an aspiring artist looking for mentoring to develop your career, brand, artistry and image, or work on your songwriting or music production skills, I can also help you with this.

*NOTE* The pricing on this platform is crazy and INACCURATE so please get in touch to find out my actual rates!
Many thanks!

I believe everyone can sing, and it is one of the most extraordinary and fun things to do!

Hello everyone!
My name is Marion and I come from France. I have been a musician for as long as I can remember. I started when I was a kid as a trumpet player. I played in many different kinds of orchestras and had a lot of fun with this instrument, but it was nothing compare to my love for singing! This is why I decided to become a professional opera singer and I want to share my passion about singing!

What do I offer?
Classical singing lessons for all levels with a focus on opera, songs, oratorio and choir repertoire.
I am based in Utrecht. You are welcome to come to my place, but I can also come to the students.
Lessons can be taught in English or in French, but I also speak a little bit of Dutch.

What will you learn?
The fundamental elements of classical singing such as breathing, posture and resonances for example but also styles, pronunciation, interpretation and repertoire. An important aspect I want to approach in a singing lesson is how to help you find your own voice, both in a technical and in an interpretative sense.
I can also guide you with anything solfège related like how to use and read a score or how to learn a song by heart.

What is my philosophy about singing and pedagogy?
I believe the best way to develop and improve a skill is when the students feel that they are in a safe place where they can dare to experiment but also have fun. This is an essential part of the process of music making and I try to bring fun and enjoyment to every lesson!

I hope we will be in touch soon for a lesson.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, I will be happy to have a chat with you!
I look forward to meeting you!

About me:
I started my musical studies in my home country in France, at the Conservatoire de Caen and the Conservatoire de Rennes before coming to The Netherlands where I finished my
voice bachelor’s degree at Het Conservatorium van Amsterdam in June 2018.
Two years later I graduated from the Dutch National Opera Academy where
I performed the role of Tigrane in Händel’s Radamisto, The Countess of
Dunmow in Berkeley’s A Dinner Engagement, Arsace in Graun’s Cesare and Cleopatra and Fiordiligi in Mozart's Così fan tutte.
Nowadays, I am a freelance soprano working in the Netherlands and in Belgium as a soloist and as a choir singer. I often participate in productions with the choir of the Dutch National Opera in Amsterdam, the Opera Ballet Vlaanderen in Antwerp or the Groot Omroepkoor in Hilversum.
I was one of the laureates of the edition 2020/2021 of the Dutch Classical
Talent Tour & Award, and I recently won the Handel Choir Jubilee Award.

I can't teach you to sing in one hour. It's no secret. But I can help you feel your voice. Discover it for yourself. And with your voice, feel yourself a little more!
I can and would like to share my knowledge and skills, as I have dedicated more than half of my life to music. These can be both fun and easy lessons, and serious and intensive ones, it all depends on your needs! I can work on both classical and pop vocals. Of course, the lessons include work on breathing, diction, musical aspects and filling, spiritual filling.

The voice is inextricably linked with the human body, we will refer a lot to your feelings and movements while singing.

I can also help prepare a specific song for your goal!
Or prepare for entering university.

(I also want to add that I have only been living in the Netherlands for half a year and my English is not perfect at all, but I am improving it every day.)

I look forward to seeing you at my classes!

You can contact me to learn classical singing technique. I have a bachelor's and master's degree in classical singing and 20 years of stage experience. In recent years, I have also received further training in singing techniques for pop songs and musical theatre songs. I followed the CVT basic course and the Tools for Teachers training at Cordula Klein Goldewijk. It was very enjoyable to me and valuable additional knowledge to learn more about these techniques, and about the differences and similarities with classical singing technique. So I can teach in both styles, but I have far more performing experience in classical singing and opera.

I can help you with:

- learning good breathing technique/breath support
- equalizing your voice (the 'voice break')
- choosing the right repertoire
- learning to use your natural acoustic optimally
- relaxation of the mouth and throat area
- twang
- stage presentation
- basic level ear training
- basic level of reading music

Experience is not necessary, but being open to learn is!

Do you often find yourself screeching like a werewolf when the moon is full? Or perhaps you scream along to your favorite songs in the car? Or maybe you treat your neighbors to a shower opera every morning? If this sounds like you, then it's time for some vocal training! I have over 28 years of professional Hollywood music industry singing experience, both in the recording studio and live on stage, and I can train you to not only sing to the best of your ability, but to develop healthy vocal habits to make sure you don't hurt your voice!
