Singing lessons with Leila - Connecting Healthy Technique with Musical Interpretation

From 48.23 £ /h

Hi!
I'm Leila, a French-Austrian opera singer, trained in France and Germany.
In my singing lessons, I focus on developing a healthy, sustainable technique, while helping students discover untapped potential and find fulfillment in singing. My approach is based on listening, physical awareness and flexibility, allowing the technique to develop organically and understanding what works best for each person individually. Finding both what feels good and what sounds good.
The idea is always to move back and forth between the technical and artistic aspects of singing.

As we work on pieces, I also focus on the musical aspects of singing such as intonation and phrasing, as well as the artistic dimension: expression, interpretation, language, and stylistic awareness across different repertoires.
Lessons take place in a comfortable, supportive atmosphere where curiosity and enjoyment are encouraged. The goal is to help you get to know your own instrument more deeply, develop confidence, and ultimately find the greatest pleasure and freedom in singing.

My expertise as an trained French-Austrian opera singer, is in the opera repertoire going from baroque to modern, as well as german Lied, French songs, and classical musicals.

I am French, bord in London and my father is Austrian, so I'm comfortable teaching in all 3 languages.
I work with beginners as well as more advanced students.

Don't hesitate to write me if you're interested in taking lessons!

About Me

(English below)

Hallo! Ich bin Leila, eine französisch-österreichische Opernsängerin, ausgebildet in Frankreich und Deutschland. Mein Studium begann in Paris; meinen Bachelor absolvierte ich an der Hochschule für Musik Carl Maria von Weber in Dresden bei Yamina Maamar. Anschließend war ich Mitglied des Opernstudios des Volkstheaters Rostock (2023–2025), parallel zu meinem Masterstudium. In den vergangenen Jahren habe ich ein breites Opernrepertoire auf der Bühne gesungen, vom Barock bis zur zeitgenössischen Musik, und wurde 2023 beim Cavalli-Monteverdi-Wettbewerb in Cremona ausgezeichnet.
Neben dem Gesang habe ich auch in Paris Theater und Violine studiert.

Seit einiger Zeit unterrichte ich Gesang mit großer Freude. Mir ist wichtig, für jede Person einen individuellen, nachhaltigen Weg zu einer gesunden Technik zu finden – und vor allem zu einer lebendigen, persönlichen Beziehung zur Musik. Anfänger:innen wie Fortgeschrittene dabei zu begleiten, ihr eigenes Instrument besser kennenzulernen, ist für mich ebenso bereichernd wie weiterführend.

Bei Interesse an Gesangsunterricht freue ich mich über Ihre Kontaktaufnahme.

Hello! I am Leila, a French-Austrian opera singer trained in France and Germany.
I started my studies in Paris, did my Bachelors in the Hochschule Car Maria von Weber in Dresden with Yamina Maamar and was then part of the Opera studio of the Volkstheater Rostock (2023-2025) while doing my masters at the Hochschule. In the last years, I performed a variety of roles, going from baroque to modern repertoire, and I am also a prize-winner of the Cavalli Monteverdi competition in Cremona (2023).
Apart from my singing path, I also studied theater and violin.

I have been teaching singing for a while and enjoying sharing my knowledge. My idea of teaching is to find what works best for each person individually, to build a healthy technique and find the greatest enjoyment in the act of singing.
Helping others, new to singing or more advanced, get to know their instrument better and build a personal and organic relationship to the music they are singing also helps me grow!

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you're interested in taking lessons with me.

Singing and making music are a lot of fun, but not the easiest thing... no matter which level you're at. For this, one needs energy, concentration and, above all, patience. But who succeeds in making progress finds that it's the best feeling ever to make music while using you best potential. That's what I can help with.

You sing all the time, but you want to improve your technique? Or you're a complete beginner and you want to get a taste of this intriguing music world? You're already singing in a band but you feel like your voice is getting tired easily, or that you need some tricks for finding notes? Then I can definitely help you, no matter your age or your style of music. My goal with this course is that you find your hobby easier and even more fun than it is already.

I'm currently finishing my master's degree in opera singing at the MUK and I use my knowledge to sing pop, jazz, funk... and so on, accompanied by my guitar/keyboard. I'm looking forward to getting to know you!

This technique can help build a strong foundation for singing in ANY GENRE. Students of ALL LEVELS are welcome!

A typical class would start with warm-up exercises, then we would work on repertoire that I can suggest (after I can assess the vocal range). Of course you can always take pieces with you!
I can also accompany you on the piano for my own repertoire suggestions.

The human voice is the instrument closest to us. Therefore, I believe that through voice training, you not only discover the joy of singing, but also get to know yourself and your own body much better.
I am studying solo singing myself and am therefore very much looking forward to meeting motivated and musical singers.
Above all, a natural and healthy singing technique is very important to me, because only then do you have the right tools to work musically and interpretatively.

My current schedule changes every week (rehearsals/university/concerts) so for now I would always make appointments a week in advance instead of keeping a fixed date every week.

Soprano and pianist student at the Musik und Kunst Privatuniversität der Stadt Wien, I offer private singing lessons (classical training only, musical training included).

Having dual training and being specialized, among other things, in singing accompaniment and direction, the lessons can be accompanied on the piano if you have one!

I therefore take advantage of my skills in these two specialties which complement each other wonderfully, in order to enrich and develop musicality, ear quality but also improvement in sight reading.

There are no students. Only musicians!

Finally, and the technical part being of course essential, I therefore apply the basics of vocal technique based on breathing and relaxation, in order to soothe any parasitic tensions and free the vocal apparatus and allow the voice to to flourish as best as possible. I also supplement my teaching with my knowledge of speech therapy.

Hello, I'm Ola, im from Poland, where I was a vocal teacher. I recently moved to Vienna and I want to offer my vocal lessons. Me, personally I specialise in musicals, but I'm familiar with various genres. In Poland I was a musical actress in cabaret and my experience with teaching is 6 years. When it comes to my lessons formula I believe in individual approach, since everyone needs something different (methods). I believe that singing is not only a skill but most importantly a way to feel yourself alive, not scared. I also believe in every student, everyone can sing and with some professional and kind help- one can develop really quickly. On my lessons I not only focus on singing per se but especially on the aspect of not being scared to use your own voice, using psychological approach as well. I play on violin and piano, I compose and I'm interested in human's psychology. On my lessons it is important for me to be always patient and kind to my students. Singing should be a pleasure.

Thanks to the pedagogical training I am currently completing in addition to my vocal training, I can support you in the best possible way in training your voice.

This is what a typical lesson with me looks like: first, we warm up your voice with vocalizations and various exercises. Then we work on a piece that's tailored to your current skill level and preferences. Requests are always welcome.

I am a very open, positive, and warm person, and I design my lessons to ensure that fun is also a key part of the experience. It's very important to me that you enjoy singing and that we can laugh together.
