1-1 Singing Lessons (Classical), with optional Music Theory

Private, 1-1 singing lessons offered both online and in-person, for lengths of 30, 45 and 60 minutes as determined by the student.
You will learn the basics of classical singing technique, including advice on breathing and support, avoiding tension and overall sound projection. You will also get language help and tuition to help pronunciation of your music. You will learn how to become a better stage performer and grow in confidence as a singer. If you wish, I can also help with tips for improving sight-singing, and with music theory.
I am a professional countertenor, and a graduate of the Royal College of Music (MMus) and St John's College, Cambridge (BA Hons in Italian and French). I was a finalist in the Kathleen Ferrier Awards at the Wigmore Hall in 2024, and have performed as both soloist and chorister in concert venues all around the world, including the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Singapore Esplanade, Royal Festival Hall and Royal Albert Hall.
I have trained choirs with members ranging from 10 years old to over 70, so am able to teach any age as required and help with any vocal issues you may be having. As a former chorister at the King's Chapel of the Savoy, and the BBC Radio 2 Young Chorister of the Year in 2011, I know what it is like to be a young singer, so can help your child grow in confidence to meet their singing goals.

About Me

I am a professional countertenor and graduate of the Royal College of Music and St John's College, Cambridge. I have performed in venues all around the globe as both soloist and chorister, including making my Wigmore Hall debut earlier this year in the finals of the Kathleen Ferrier Awards, and have been described by Gramophone Magazine as a 'countertenor star of the future'.
My teaching is quite technique focussed; I aim to get the best possible sound from you in the most efficient way through breathing work and tongue placement in the mouth. However, as a performer, I also aim to help with any performance anxiety and to offer advice on performing, particularly to novices. As a young teacher, I aim to be vibrant and bubbly in lessons, but of course do expect my students to put in the time to practising after the lesson, and I will provide exercises for them to do.

I also teach music theory, and beginner piano lessons.

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.

Georgia
Singing lessons with an italian lyric-coloratura soprano. From opera to modern and pop. (Masters degree in singing with honours, cum Laude)
My classes are different depending on your level and age. With children from 7 to 12, we start by doing easy vocalization and start training the ear with intonation, we then have fun singing your favorite songs. With teenagers, I also start with some vocalization, a little more elaborate. Depending on the student's capabilities, we start establishing a comfortable range for them and then proceed to singing. For my older students ideally, I divide our lesson into 2 sections. We work on respiration and how the diaphragm works. We do scales and arpeggios and work on intonation. We then proceed to singing and putting into practice our technique. Some students might need more technique before they actually sing, I like to take things slowly and make sure the student feels confident and comfortable singing. I teach children, teenagers, and adults, from beginners to more advanced. Classical training enables you to sing in any kind of way, so don’t hesitate and let’s sing!

Zuzanna
Online singing tutor. Professional vocal coach with over 8 years of experience
Hi, I'm an active opera singer and I offer one-to-one online singing lessons to students of all ages and abilities. I have a Master of fine arts (Department of Vocal and Acting Studies) from Lodz Musical Accademy in Poland and I've performed professionally as an opera singer in Baltic Opera. In 2020 I got a special scholarship from prestigious Accademia D'Arte Lirica in Italy. Apart from opera experience, I was a leader of the alternative rock band for many years. Currently I continue my career in Italy singing in many opera theaters and teaching. As a vocal coach I specialize in multi-genre styles such as classical, musical, pop, rock and jazz. I put emphasis on the breathing techniques, enhancing body awareness, correct emission, musicality, interpretation, pure intonation and diction. I create original lesson plans that contour to my students individual needs. I provide a compassionate and creative learning environment in addition to a solid foundation in classical technique and musical fundamentals. My methods consist of warm-ups that help understand breath support and vocal placement to improve vocal awareness and stretch range. Psychology is a very important factor in my teaching method, because I believe that singing is also a great therapy. I teach children, teenagers, adults and senior (beginners to more advanced). Some of my students are already successful in the music market. If you want to improve your voice and maintain vocal health , regardless of the level and the age, please don't hesitate and join my vocal class!
