Karnatic Song & Music

Getting started with Karnatic singing (south Indian music) means discovering a very rich musical world vocally, melodically and rhythmically.

What characterizes Emmanuelle's approach is to approach voice work above all else. Whatever the melody, the raga, the composition, there is no point in singing if the voice does not emerge from the right place within oneself. Adopt a correct, grounded, stable and relaxed posture.

The voice that sounds fully reflects the dimension of being.

What does it really mean to listen? It is becoming aware of the sound space occupied by the tampura*, listening to the swaras (notes), oneself, others in an internal attitude of welcome.

Ragas (melodic modes) are like living, dynamic beings, in perpetual change. Discovering a raga is like meeting a new person, little by little their personality is revealed, a dialogue is established. The relationship between the raga, the one who sings it, and also the one who listens to it becomes a living act that continues to evolve.

As for the swaras (notes), it is a question of seeking precision and paying attention to their “right place”. Finally, whether it is a vocal exercise, a composition, an improvisation, it is the tala (rhythmic cycle) which gives the essential structure.

*Tampura: a plucked string instrument from India that supports the melody of another instrument or singer by providing a continuous harmonic drone.

Young professional opera singer, tenor, with a Master's degree in singing at the CNSMD Lyon, I give lessons to students of all levels.

I propose a work centered on the technique in harmony with the body, to (re) find the natural and the comfort while seeking the musicality and expression.

We can work as much for the discovery of the voice as for pleasure, or in the preparation of deadlines (competitions, auditions, concerts, preparation to join a choir, etc.), always in a good mood!

I offer lessons of an hour or an hour and a half according to your preferences and I accompany the students on the piano or guitar as needed.

I alternate according to the wishes and needs of a student of the courses
- where we start with 30/45 minutes of technique: breathing exercises, posture, vocalizations then the remaining time to apply this to a piece (brought by the student or under my suggestion)
- centered on music and interpretation, with a quick warm-up of between 10 and 15 minutes then a deeper dive into a piece, its musical and literary interpretation, and its style.

Classes can also be given in English or Spanish.
Possibility of doing lessons in the 12th arrondissement with a pianist who accompanies for a small supplement, more information by message.

Classical guitar teacher graduate and concert, I offer my classes to teenagers and adults who want to discover or rediscover the guitar.

Levels: beginner (passionate), advanced, confirmed, professional.

The course is tailored to your own pace and needs. I can help you build or strengthen your instrumental technique, enrich your repertoire, progress in music theory if necessary (rhythm, harmony, composition, analysis, musical culture), improve your posture and breathing, strengthen your concentration and memory, refine your interpretation, prepare for exams, competitions or performances (amateur and professional), unleash your performance, and develop your musicality.

There are no age restrictions.

My lessons are also aimed at those who played guitar several years ago and wish to start again.

I propose an initial lesson so we can discuss your needs. Afterwards, you can take your time and call me back if you'd like to book a second lesson.

Repertoire: from the 16th to the 21st century (so-called "classical"), Spanish, Latin-American music, opening to all styles (no rock / metal).

The courses take place in Paris 75010, near the Town Hall of the 10th arrondissement, as well as via video conference (Zoom, etc).

For piano lessons, above all, have fun! The first lesson is given according to your level and your piano and musical desires. Then I adapt the learning according to (technique, pieces that can be approached ect ...)
For singing lessons, I am an opera singer. So people wanting to approach opera welcome and anyone who wants to improve their techniques (opera or variety) also welcome. Vocalises and songs according to your level and musical desires.
For music theory lessons it is really for those who want to fill their gap. In general I always accompany my piano or singing lessons with solfegic notions.

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.

I have been teaching music for 15 years. I teach all styles. I work a lot with body awareness, improvisation and what each student needs and for their personal growth.
The vocal technique that I use seeks the naturalness of the voice and body relaxation. I combine it with Yoga exercises to make it a complete job.
On the piano I teach classical and popular (American cypher) and music reading.
