Unleash your vocal potential with an innovative method!

Breath work, breathing exercises, and posture work to release tension and allow you to sing more freely

- Choice of repertoire and pieces based on your preferences and our progress objectives!

- Work on your stage presence and your interpretation to express yourself in the best possible way!

- Work on phonation and diction


I trained as a pianist from the age of 5 and then as an opera singer, I discovered opera and fell in love with it!

I decided to settle in Italy, the cradle of singing, and graduated with a Master's degree from the Florence Conservatory. I then secured soloist contracts in various opera houses across Europe, including the Teatro Verdi (Florence) and Teatro Pavarotti (Modena) in Italy, the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium and the Seville Opera House in Spain, the Sofia National Opera (Bulgaria), and others.

In parallel, I am training to be a stage director; I have worked in particular at the Paris National Opera and the Madrid Opera.

I had the pleasure of accompanying my students in preparing for their auditions for the Maîtrise de l'Opéra comique, the Conservatoire national de Lyon, the Berlin Opera etc... They succeeded!

About Me
Do you want to develop your voice, gain freedom, and sing with more power and expression? Welcome!

As a professional opera singer, pianist with a degree from the Paris Conservatory, and stage director, I offer **singing lessons for all levels and styles**: opera, pop, rock, R&B, French chanson, musical theatre...

My training as an opera singer has allowed me to develop a solid and precise vocal technique. But my goal is not to make you sing "like an opera singer": **I will provide you with technical tools that we will adapt to your voice, your personality, and the style you prefer.**

Beginner, amateur, professional or emerging artist: each course is personalized according to your objectives.


**A real plus: I am also a pianist with a degree from the Paris Conservatory.** Therefore, I can accompany you directly on the piano during lessons and work with you in a very musical way.

**My journey**

Holding a Master's degree in singing from the Florence Conservatory and a piano prize from the Paris Conservatory**, I perform as a solo singer on prestigious stages in Europe, notably at the Florence Opera, the Sofia National Opera and the Teatro Pavarotti in Modena.

I also work as a stage director at the Paris National Opera, the Teatro Real in Madrid and the Berlin State Opera.

This dual experience as a singer and director allows me to work on the voice, but also everything that makes an interpretation come alive: musicality, intentions, body and stage presence.

**My goal: to help you find a free, personal, and expressive voice — with high standards, kindness, and enjoyment.**

Whether you dream of singing for pleasure, preparing for an audition, or developing a real artistic project, you are welcome. :)

Indian music is enjoying growing success with Western audiences. Because more and more artists are performing in our latitudes (especially in venues such as the Théâtre de la Ville, the Musée Guimet in Paris, etc.), and also because the discovery of music with a traditional system of learning arouses the interest of many people who would like to approach music differently; and there are many links between the Indian and Western tradition, due to the universal character of music but also to the fact that India has been able to preserve modes of transmission that have long since disappeared in the West, but which have nothing to envy in terms of efficiency. to modern methods.

I propose learning the song of North India, in the dhrupad style, the oldest still transmitted today. Its advantage is that it offers a gradual approach to ragas (musical motifs that could be compared to modes), note by note, without the need for prior knowledge or talent as a virtuoso: the practice is based on the 'listen. Over the course of practice, it nevertheless makes it possible to acquire a great mastery of the voice.

The lesson, which lasts one hour (half for children), takes place accompanied by the tampura, an instrument that gives the "drone" or fundamental/tonic note. It is from this persistent note that the student will learn to place his voice, to find the correctness of tone and timbre. This is done gently, the pace of learning adapting to that of the student.
In addition, the achievements in this style of singing can always be useful later for other styles of music, even outside India, up to jazz and classical/baroque music.
My apprenticeship was for twelve years with one of the 19th generation masters teaching this tradition, Ustad H. Sayeeduddin Dagar, belonging to the illustrious family which made this style and Indian music known in the West in the years 1960. It has now continued for four years with his nephew Ustad F. Wasifuddin Dagar.

Lessons are private, or in weekly workshops in Paris near Bastille (see my website musicosophe[point]fr).

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.

Fundamental Thought:
ANYONE CAN LEARN TO SING!
It's important to know this!
The singing voice is part of our human capabilities, it's just not taught in our culture, but EVERYONE can learn!

FOR WHOM:
This course is for anyone who wants to learn to sing, speak in public, or improve their speaking voice.
Children, teenagers, and adults alike, there's no age limit to start learning ;)
Whether you are a complete beginner (and wish to develop a healthy and solid foundation) or an intermediate (to continue to evolve and develop your technique) this is the right place for you and I would be delighted to accompany you on this exciting journey towards the singing voice!

MINDSET:
- First of all, we always work with gentleness, kindness and joy ; )
Singing is a very intimate act, which puts us in a form of vulnerability, so it is essential to work with confidence to feel free to experiment, to make mistakes and to evolve healthily.
The goal is to develop technically and artistically, at your own pace, and with joy!
- It's important to be kind to yourself: learning vocal technique can take time; it requires patience, perseverance, and confidence to see results ;)

POSITIONING:
My teaching method is simple: find what works for you, in relation to your goals and what challenges you.
I constantly adapt my approach and exercises to the student I have in front of me.
We always start from what the body can do (the spoken voice) to take it towards the singing voice.
We never work by force or against the body's natural processes: we always strive for a healthy vocal technique, free from tension and pain ;)

PROCEDURE:
During the first lesson, we will start by taking stock of the situation, seeing what is already in place and what needs to be worked on.
Afterwards :
- Vocal preparation (warm-up),
- Technical exercises (to progress towards the defined objectives),
- Work on the song of your choice (to put it into practice).

*///*NEW: MONTHLY GROUP WORKSHOPS*///*
What is this ?

- A workshop ONCE A MONTH on a weekend (in principle)
- In small groups (5 to 8 people)

How does it work?

A short group warm-up.
You play a song excerpt.
The group and I provide constructive feedback.
You experience a mini individual coaching session (but with the group as an audience and support for objective feedback).
Once all the individual coaching sessions are finished, everyone plays their song a second time and we observe everyone's progress :)

With the following objectives:
- To meet interesting people (other private tutoring students).
- To experience a moment together, in a caring and educational environment.
- Discovering the stage and learning how to inhabit it in front of an audience (posture, attitude, energy, grounding, self-confidence, etc.)
- To work on one's interpretation beyond technique.
- To face the gaze of others.
- Overcoming shyness and fear of judgment.
- To receive feedback from outside sources, other than family or friends, in an educational setting.
- Learn from others and be a learning support for others.

The idea is that everyone learns from each other during this moment of sharing! Pretty awesome, right?!

I hope you will be as excited as I am about doing these Group Workshops!

Terms and conditions
- One session per month (3 hours) if enough people register.
- Between 5 and 8 participants.
- No commitment: you can come once on a one-off basis or every time.
- Open: you can bring a friend who would like to discover singing, try their hand at performing on stage or test my teaching approach.
- Booking required (Place due if cancelled less than 48 hours before the event).

*///*Piano Lessons (Accompaniment)*///*

For those who wish, I also offer lessons on piano accompaniment for singing.
You'll discover the basics of piano and chords (international notation, so no music theory) so you can (eventually) accompany yourself on any song in the world just by reading a chord chart! And that's pretty cool, isn't it? ;)

If you have any questions about the courses, teaching methods, or anything else, feel free to send me a message ;)

Looking forward to working together!
