Singing lessons with certified teacher. Improve breaks, range and power.

Feeling like you're not using the full potential of your voice? I'm a certified voice teacher and I can help you with that. I am part of a worldwide voice community, The Institute for Vocal Advancement (IVA) and I am regularly receiving training and being tested to be the best singing teacher I can be for you.

Some of the teachers in this community I am part of, teach big names of the music industry. I have learnt directly from them. That means that when we have a lesson, you will be getting the same training as stars like Brandon Flowers (The Killers), Seal, Dan Reynolds (Imagine Dragons), Barbara Streisand, Michael Jackson, Brendon Urie (Panic! at the disco) many broadway artists and singers from all possible music styles have learnt with.

In our lessons I will analyze your voice, define a goal for the lesson and trace a plan to achieve that goal. Then we will do vocal exercises that work almost like going to the gym, but for the muscles inside your larynx. Finally we will go through song application, and since I am also a singer/songwriter with a career of more than 10 years, I can help you with interpretation and stylistic choices.

I want to help you start loving all aspects of your own voice. Working with what you have and improving what you can improve, never forgetting the most important thing which is to enjoy the experience of singing.

About Me

Hi! My name is Nathaje. I am a singer/songwriter, working professionally with music since 2006, and a certified singing teacher from The Institute for Vocal Advancement (IVA).

I was born and raised in Brazil, moved to Switzerland in 2015 and finally to London in 2021 where I am currently based. I grew up with a strong musical atmosphere at home. I had piano lessons from a young age, took drama, guitar and singing lessons for many years. I have performed often and with many different musicians and musical styles, from small and intimate gigs to large concerts. I was also a lead singer in band from a TV show in Brazil, touring all over the country.

I compose my own songs and have 3 fully original studio albums recorded. My album "Heal" (2019) was streamed over half a million times and my music video for "Follow the Light", the first single of that album, is on MTV Germany. You can check all my songs out on Spotify, Youtube... everywhere really.

​Why do I teach? I always loved teaching, so it came as a natural path for me to follow. Since I was a little kid I had a passion for simplifying things and finding thousands of different ways of explaining something until the person would finally get it. I believe nothing is too difficult to learn, if you manage to find an easy way of teaching it.

In 2009 and 2010 I was performing 15 times per month, for big audiences (thousands of people). That was when I realised the other methods of singing were not helping me. I was constantly struggling to keep up with the demands of a high energy pop/rock concert, and my voice was not prepared for that. The high notes felt impossible to sing, unless they were too light and boring. I was pushing, squeezing, and hurting my voice.

I had lessons with 8 different teachers, and all they told me to do was to "support", to breathe, to do the scales... it wasn't working.

Thankfully in 2013 I found out about the IVA methodology, searching for speech level singing technique. I started my training with them then and I never stopped. IVA's method has helped me so much that I decided to join the teacher's program in 2016 and since then I have been helping other singers and voice professionals with their own voices.

The beauty of this method is that is very science based, and we are a big community of 300+ teachers around the globe, so you won't be simply taking my word for it. Our ear training allows us to hear how your muscle function is working, and we adapt the exercises and the lesson flow specifically for your voice at that point in time. That means that no 2 lessons are the same.

Because I also have studio and stage experience, I can help you with that too! I have helped students start composing and recording their own songs, or cover songs. I have all the professional equipment and acoustic treatment in my studio to record your vocals, and I work side by side with producers for you to have an industry standard quality track.

I love being geeky about the voice, but singing is way beyond applying the correct technique. Music is art, and as an artist myself I understand the need to focus on the emotions and the expressiveness of our voices, and to use the technique to support that, to free and increase our range of possible vocal choices.

Singing, just like any other skill, is something that, the more you exercise, the better you get. So if you think you don't have enough "talent" it might just be you haven't spent enough time doing it. If you don't find your voice beautiful, it might just be you haven't explored all the possible sounds you can make. Every instrument is beautiful in their own way. You wouldn't say a guitar has an ugly sound. Maybe the guitar player couldn't get the best sound out of that guitar, that's all.

I want to help start loving all aspects of your own voice, working with what you have and improving what you can improve, never forgetting the most important thing which is to enjoy the experience of singing.

Reviews (2)

Nathaje made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. I arrived very nervous and left wiser and wanting more.
I had a great connection with Nathaje which is important, especially since we started during the Pandemic and opted for online training. Nevertheless I felt completely immersed in her lesson and was comfortable throughout our session. She's an excellent teacher with patience and genuine interest in your vocal improvements.

Denise
Singing classes in Vienna for all age students and musical styles (Online/Offline)
Dear students: My name is Denise and I'm a professional singer with a singing master's degree from Catalonia's Music College (ESMUC) specialized in Historical Singing, Musicology and Music Education. My experience runs mostly in early and classical music with an active performing life, nevertheless I also have the experience and knowledge of popular musical styles such as Latin-American folk, jazz and musicals. As a docent or vocal coach I've collaborate with different academic institutions and private artistic projects, focusing mostly on international students or social integration programs. I have years of experience teaching children, teenagers and adults in both Latin-America and Europe, therefore understanding different appreciation levels and needs. My main goal is to help the student discover her or his voice while enjoying making music. **Class suggestions and indications** No experience is needed just bring your enthusiasm and favorite music. Classes can be given either in English, Spanish, French or Deutsch. There are no limit for styles, bring your favorite music and I will provide a safe environment for your personal and musical growth. For Children I strongly recommend the 45 min class since their attention span and body development is different from an adult. Feel free to contact me in case of further questions. I would love to work together to achieve your musical goals. All my best, Denise

Cheslava
Piano and Singing tutor with 5 years experience and professional education
From my childhood I have been studying music and art: sang in choir and solo, played piano, painted, studied music history and literature, solfeggio. Later in college I have also learned choir conducting, had ensemble and choir singing lessons, cultural studies. During last year in university I had pedagogy practice at university and at private art school (where I worked as a music tutor before the war - piano, voice). I truly enjoyed working with students. They all were different age (8 - 40+ years old) and level. But all were very interesting and work was pleasant. My education was very various: my core subjects were conducting, choir, voice, piano. So it allowed me to work with children, teens and adults with quite wide range of interests and needs: some students needed/wanted to learn particular composition(s), sometimes pop songs arrangements, some were interested in “introduction” to the music, some wanted to renew skills they gained in their childhood and continue their journey to the music world. In addition I prepared presentations (which contained information about cultural and historical background and musical and character/art analysis). So after graduation from choir conducting faculty (which allowed me to deepen my knowledge in many important compatible branches) I concentrated on studying classical singing and piano, expanded my cultural studies and analysis knowledge, practiced solfeggio and harmony.

Amaru
Vocal Technique “Vocal Sensations” (English & Spanish)
I teach vocal technique through body awareness. We’ll dive into the essential principles of singing: breath, resonance, and articulation. We’ll start with some breathing exercises to get warmed up, followed by vocal exercises to work on technique, and then you’ll get to sing a song of your choice. We’ll also bust some common myths about singing, and you’ll be amazed at how much you can learn in such a short time! It’s going to be a lot of fun!

As an Italian Opera singer, I help since many years singers with the right pronunciation of the repertoire they sing, helping them in shaping the language in a clear way, which also helps the singing. Our lesson will involve speaking, pronunciation exercises and singing. We will start the lesson by reading the text and finding the right direction and emphasis. We will focus on the sounds and how to produce them. In the second part of the lesson, we will apply all of the above to the singing!
