About Me

I want to start by thanking Ms. Venner Christine, who was then professor of music theory at the Conservatoire de Boulogne Billancourt:
I was desperate about dictations and other exercises of deciphering, intonation ... etc ... As she advised me to work with the method:
READ MUSIC THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF INTERVALS (3 Vol.) By Mayor Claude ARBARETAZ.

I will not hide the progress has been difficult and long to come !! ..... I will not hide happiness mixed with pride every time I hear one or parts (polyphony) reading them. ... (without instrument or recording, only silence is necessary, the relative ear does the rest ...)

WHY WOULD WE BE ABLE TO WRITE WHAT WE ARE UNABLE TO SING ??? ...... (and vis and versa of course ...)

INTERVALLES, RANGES, MODES HAVE NOT CHANGED SINCE CENTURIES ONLY THEIR USE DOES NOT EVOLVE we find them in all the music, for all the instruments.

This method goes very gradually from the smallest to the largest interval (even the redoubled intervals) it rests on the intonation (to emit the sound which corresponds to the note read IN YOUR TESSITURE (voice). VERY DIFFER FROM THE SONG: thus no attention will be given to the timbre, vibrato, breathing or power of the voice, the rhythm will be also maybe neglected especially for in a polyphonic context ......

Of course, the more the student and advanced in solfeggio (especially the 7clefs) analysis, counterpoint, harmony, fugue, reduction, quantification ... the more the communication will be effective and (with regular work) the rapid progress ..... However I would be the last to close the door to a very motivated student even though he will not read the music at all ... !!!

To end on good news, 1 hour, see a 1/2 hour a month may very well be enough to start.
For the first class, no material needed, to be on time and sufficiently rested to be able to concentrate are the only ones necessary.

PS: I do not think I can satisfy the students very focused on a particular instrument or style ....... A certain openness and desirable!

Do you want to learn how to use your voice better – for singing, speaking or simply for fun?
I am an Italian opera singer (soprano), graduated with a Master's degree in singing from the Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin and trained in the Lichtenberg vocal technique.
With 18 years of experience, I offer singing lessons (all styles) and diction in Italian, English and Spanish, adapted to your level and your objectives.
We will work together on breathing, posture, vocalizations, technique, interpretation — always respecting the natural physiology of the voice.

I am a professional lyric soprano graduated from the CNSM of Lyon.
I participate in productions with the Concert d'Astrée, the Choir of Namur, Accentus, the Opéra National de Lorraine, Choir de la Chapelle Harmonique. I am also on the lists of the Montpellier Opera, Concert Spirituel, Ensemble Correspondances and Radio France choir.
I have just finished a production of Haydn's Die Schöpfung at the Opéra National de Lorraine last January-February, conducted by Marta Gardolinska (Guillaume Fauchère choir director), directed by Kevin Barz.

I sang solo and in chorus the role of the Trojan woman in Campra's Idomenée in 2021 at the Lille Opera and the Berlin Staatsoper, staging of the fura dels baus,
I also sang the solo of Campra's Requiem at the philharmonies of Luxembourg, Lille, Essen Cologne and Berlin with the Concert d'Astrée in 2019 directed by Emmanuelle Haïm.

In 2019, I participated in the production of Les Indes Galantes by Rameau with the Namur Choir at the Opera Bastille, directed by Leonardo Garcia Alarcon and directed by Clement Cogitore. In 2022, I participated in numerous productions, notably with the Accentus choir in Beethoven's 9th symphony, the missa solemnis or even a polyphonic baroque project.
In 2022 I participated in the production of Hulda by Cesar Franck with the Namur Choir at the Grand Manège de Namur, the Liège Philharmonic and the Théatre des Champs Elysées.

My background as well as my skills in lyrical singing allow me to master my instrument well. I am a very curious and very patient person, and I like to find solutions to problems. Transmitting my passion to students wishing to discover or develop their voices, discover their artistic personality would be a great pleasure for me. If I can transmit this joy that I have from singing as well as my acquired knowledge, it would be a great exploration for them as for me.

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.

I am a jazz singing student in France, where I stayed after a year of Erasmus. I would like to teach my students the art of singing. It should be fun, with the accompanying technology!
Music theory and the more theoretical aspects of music are certainly also possible!

Pianist and choir director with 20 years of experience, I offer singing and piano lessons in different styles.

Singing lessons focus on breath control, breath development, posture, vocal technique, intonation, as well as performance and expression on stage. The students have the opportunity to sing pieces chosen by themselves and/or guided by me (accompanied by my piano).

Private and group lessons are available, with a repertoire-building approach. In addition, I offer coaching for recording sessions and artistic development.

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.

As a singer myself for around ten years, I am learning to sing healthily and quickly, without forcing, with a modern and caring method.

My teaching method is based on the body, breathing and voice placement to create a clear, stable and comfortable sound.
We work on accuracy, rhythm, diction and interpretation directly on your songs.

Typical course outline (60 min):
→ 15' guided warm-up: body, breathing, vocal warm-up)
→ 20' vocal exercises: placement, resonances, vowels
→ 20' work on phrases on your piece: interpretation
→ 5' homework plan (1 exercise + 1 measurable objective).
Before/after recordings allow you to see progress.

My specialties: active songwriter and artist, clear and structured approach, 4 to 8 week goals, concise written follow-up after each session, demanding but caring atmosphere. I prioritize vocal health and realistic progression: positioning the voice, gaining in pitch, lengthening the breath, daring to interpret.

Who is it for? Beginners (including shy people), teens and adults, pop/variety/soul/folk styles.

Classes in Paris or online. Ideal for learning to sing in tune to your favorite songs, preparing for a stage/open mic, or simply gaining confidence, quickly and sustainably.

TREAT YOURSELF, SING!
Do you dream of singing and are finally ready to take the plunge? Do you already practice and want to refine your technical skills? Do you want to feel good with an activity that will boost your confidence or improve your public speaking? Do you have a job that relies heavily on your voice and want to learn to control it better to reduce fatigue?
I would be delighted to welcome you to my home to provide you with the best possible support, whatever your goals may be (pleasure, progress, competition preparation, etc.).

I am a professional singer, active since 2013, and I have been teaching since 2016. A graduate of the Conservatory, I practice many musical styles (from song to pop-rock, up to opera) and you can come and practice and progress on the repertoire that you like the most.
My teaching method: I work by listening to and respecting each person's pace.
Hope to meet you soon !
