Our teacher using, if necessary, an electro-acoustic guitar to better accompany your voice and guide some of its subtleties, the teaching philosophy is adapted to each level, according to the pace of work and motivation.

Program :
- musical techniques: theory (examples: support, modes, colors, effects such as vibrato, etc.) automatically followed, for each of the exercises, by practice (examples: exercises focusing on accuracy, sound production, "mountains Russian ", time, note hold, diction, vowels etc.)
- work on breathing and breathing management
- body awareness
- stability
- resonance
- improvisation / free expression
- improved vocal comfort
- varied repertoire (adapting to your preference)
- well-being by the vibration of the voice
- personal or artistic development - accuracy, note keeping and precision - vocal modes including timbre
- volumes: softness and power - sound colors: from dark to light - vocal effects, range requirements - nuances: volumes, mimics, attitudes, sound quality - exploration of musical styles (folk, pop, classical, blues, rock, song, World music ...)
- improvisation, effects and vocal games, harmonies
-interpretation: work on emotions, body language, stage presence.

Objective: acquire a solid vocal technique allowing you to sing with accuracy, ease and expressiveness.

Musical learning meanwhile, will develop your ability to listen and reproduce music, your sense of rhythm, your expressiveness, your creativity and musicality as well as reading sheet music.

The work is focused on multidisciplinarity: voice, vocal health, music and bodily expressiveness, with an emphasis on the acquisition of an optimal vocal placement, on stress management in public and on interpretation.

This progressive and tailor-made method aims to develop your voice:
-Breathing techniques
-Vocalises and technical exercises adapted to needs;
- Repertoire work
- Accompaniment for studio recording and scenic performance
-dynamic exploration, diversification and release of one's voice while having fun and going beyond one's limits.

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.

- The songs: Learning of standard songs in line with the techniques and chords seen previously / Learning the songs you would like to learn / Learning songs of all styles (Pop, Rock, Funk, Blues, Jazz etc ...)
- Practical cases: Being a multi-instrumentalist and component on Logic Pro X, I also create personalized backing tracks so that the students can apply concepts that we will have seen in class (such as improvisation).
- Other: Ear training / Composition / Project assistance / Recording.

I listen to the student and adapt to his goals. My goal is to make him independent and enjoy playing the guitar.

See you soon in my next class!

My teacher's credo

As an opera singer, I have had the opportunity to perform on international stages while continuing to teach, which is a true vocation for me.

In vocal pedagogy, I believe that each student is the bearer of a unique instrument: their voice. This is why it is essential to adapt teaching and methodological tools to the individuality of each student. This approach allows me to conduct my classes in a variety of ways, choosing the most relevant vocal exercises or repertoire pieces to reveal the individual potential of each voice.

My technique is based on:

* in-depth breathing exercises,
* awareness of the whole body as an instrument,
* understanding the biological principles of breathing and its artistic role,
* the development of a free and resonant vocal emission.

My main objectives are to:

* maintain a feeling of high vocal position, awareness of resonant cavities in singing,
* work on the purity and continuity of vowels (legato), work on diction (Italian, German, French, etc.)
* gradually develop the tessitura,
* harmonize and balance the different vocal registers.

Finally, I place great importance on the student's personal development. Building a voice also means supporting an artistic personality: this involves guiding each student toward a repertoire adapted to their stage of vocal development, while nurturing their sensitivity and self-confidence.

Hello, I am a professional Ukrainian singer of pop and jazz, winner of several competitions, and creator of my own musical projects.
Since 2017, I have been actively involved in teaching to develop the voice and creative potential of both adults and children. In my work on vocal placement, I rely on cutting-edge technologies such as Seth Riggs' "Speech Level Singing" and Brett Manning's "Singing Success". My extensive experience on stage and in teaching enables me to find an individual approach for each student. I teach in Ukrainian, Russian, English and French.

1. Learn proper vocal breathing, develop vocal support during singing and speech.
2. Improve your musical ear, sense of rhythm, and pitch accuracy.
3. Eliminate physical and psychological vocal tensions.
4. Expand your vocal range, strengthen, and flex your voice.

2. Vocal Technique
Exercises adapted to the student's level: breath control, voice placement, accuracy, articulation, resonance, power without straining.

Putting the technique into practice on a song chosen by the student (or suggested) to work on interpretation and enjoy singing.

This course is for those who want to learn guitar, piano, and music and harmony theory.
I started playing music at age six and was lucky enough to find a teacher who truly understood how to instill confidence in me. Beyond music theory, a very academic approach that clearly discourages further exploration, he had me playing, learning directly through my fingers and ears the music I loved. Without him, I surely would have given up. Like him, I now want to share the joy of playing, learning all kinds of pieces, and perhaps even composing my own.
