Singing lessons and vocal technique. Contemporary music - Variety - World music

My journey :

A singer and actress with diverse training, I have built my artistic journey through complementary experiences and an insatiable curiosity. After six years of conservatory studies in music theory and choir, I turned to pop and variety music. I then explored opera with Zoé Gosset, before joining Les Glotte-Trotters Institute for Vocal Research and Training, directed by Martina A. Catella, where I spent five years developing an approach to singing that I now consider foundational to my practice. Throughout this journey, I have explored various repertoires and sung in numerous languages (French, Greek, Spanish, Armenian, Russian, Arabic, Ukrainian, etc.), each one a window onto different musical worlds and a unique way to inhabit my voice. In parallel, I pursued training in dramatic arts, first with a semi-professional company, then at the Hector Berlioz Conservatory in Paris where I studied for three years, and at the Nadia and Lili Boulanger Conservatory where I dedicated a year to musical theatre. These different approaches gave me a very embodied and comprehensive understanding of singing and vocal techniques in general.

A teaching approach that listens to you:

My teaching draws heavily on the Glotte-Trotters method: an approach that places the body and sensory awareness at the heart of the work, with particular attention to support, breathing, resonators, and body awareness. A solid theoretical foundation is complemented by exercises that are both playful and challenging, designed to refine vocal perception and production, and develop a keen awareness of oneself.
But beyond the exercises, you choose what you sing. Pop, variety, jazz, gospel, world music, folk, rock... the repertoire is open and it's yours. Working on songs that truly move you is the best way to stay motivated and progress with pleasure. The only guideline: that the music speaks to you and that your voice can flourish within it.

How a lesson unfolds:

Each session follows a structured approach designed to nurture both the voice and the entire body. We begin with a moment of relaxation and breathing exercises, to settle the breath and fully immerse ourselves in the classroom environment. Next comes a physical awakening: the body is the singer's instrument, and it deserves to be awakened before singing. Then come vocal exercises and warm-ups, often interwoven, always tailored to the student's profile and needs. Finally, we delve into the heart of the matter: singing, with attention paid to both technique and interpretation. Because singing well is also about telling a story.

Tailor-made courses for all levels:

I offer private lessons at my home in Paris, whether you're a beginner or an experienced singer, child or adult. Each lesson is tailored to your individual goals, your vocal style, and your current vocal development. My aim is to help you make your voice an ally and to enjoy exploring and sharing it.

As a young opera singer, electroacoustic composer, and improviser, I offer singing and sound creation lessons to anyone interested, with or without prior musical experience. Composition lessons take place at my home, as they require a fully equipped studio, while singing lessons are held at Studio Basement in the 18th arrondissement of Paris.
About me: As an advanced student of singing and composition, I regularly perform as a singer in classical and contemporary music concerts. I also compose music for live performance, theatre, and dance. My musical projects are diverse, ranging from early music to contemporary pop.

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.

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.

Does your child love to sing and want to develop their voice, gain confidence or improve their technique? Do you want to start singing yourself or improve your skills?

I offer private singing and vocal technique lessons, fully personalized according to the level and objectives of each student, whether beginner, amateur or already experienced.

Each course is structured in three parts:

1. Physical and vocal warm-up
Body relaxation, diaphragm placement, breathing exercises, posture and grounding, to prepare the voice and avoid any tension.

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

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

The styles are open: pop, variety, French chanson, lyrical... according to desires.

In addition, I offer the basics of music theory and piano for students who wish to learn to read sheet music or accompany themselves while singing.

Through my singing lessons, we will address both vocal technique and the emotional aspects of the voice and body to create together a vocal technique and personality that is unique to you.
At my place, there are no fixed rules; every voice is different, every personality too, and they deserve unique and tailored support in order to develop your full vocal potential.

*///*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).

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 ;)

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!

Jazz/contemporary music singer for all levels. A student at the Pôle Supérieur de Paris and formerly at the Bordeaux Conservatory, I'm looking for new students in Paris and the surrounding area! I'm also a pianist and can accompany you.

During these lessons, I obviously want to help you better control your voice, and I like to adapt to each student's wishes, goals, and pace!

Mastering your voice means understanding your instrument and how it works, but also breathing, pitch, interpretation, letting go... Many concepts that we can explore together! Whether you're a beginner or looking to consolidate your skills, these concepts will be central to our discussions.

As a pianist, I can also teach you some basic piano skills, depending on your needs and desires. As a singer, the piano is a very useful instrument!

Upon request, I can also help you create your own compositions and give you the keys to finding your vocal and artistic identity!
