Want to learn how to sing and become confident in your voice?
During this class, we are going to work together toward the accomplishment of your goals. If you don't have any but still want to explore your voice (this is already a goal), we can make a plan together that suits you.
I can accompany you in your journey of exploration of your voice, work on your confidence, and build a repertoire by tailoring a lesson that will be fun and creative. I'm a singer-songwriter and therefore we can work on lyric writing as well if it's something that you want to explore.
Extra information
Bring a diary that we can use, a pen and a recording device (this is not mandatory but the phone is more than fine)

About Me
I'm a music student myself and I've been studying singing for the past 13 years. With all of these going from one teacher to another, I really understand how a teacher can be something very personal and also temporary (your needs will change over time but I'd be honored to be part of your journey).
Throughout the past decade, I've been learning singing with different methods (Classical, Jazz, Gospel, Functional technique) so I came to the conclusion that the best way to go, is to combine everything together in order to target each and every individual goal. I love to teach and being a student really made me aware of what I want from a teacher so I always do everything I can to be the best fit for you.
During a lesson, we are gonna work on your technique, on a repertoire that can be functional to your path. We are going to listen to the great voices and understand what made them who they have been and try to find your unique features. We can explore whatever you like. We are also going to sing together and play games in order to train the intonation and your listening abilities.
One thing it's for sure, the process isn't easy and it will require a lot of commitment, but in return, I promise loads of fun and nourishing music.
Education
I've been studying vocal jazz at the Conservatorium Van Amsterdam where I'm currently a student. I've studied technique for many years before coming to Amsterdam where I then started my Jazz Journey
Experience / Qualifications
As mentioned, I've been a music student for my whole life. I started singing in choir when I was 6 and I've never stopped since. I've also studied piano for many years and flute. I've had experiences in the US thanks to a scholarship I was awarded for two years in a row to go study in a Youth Fine Arts Camp (the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp). I've also studied theater and figurative arts (mostly painting) since a very early age and I tend to combine all pf these tools in my teaching singing as well.

Have you always wanted to play an instrument that is extremely diverse and used in many different music styles? Have a dream to learn to play the trumpet but never knew where to go and where to start? Have you been playing in the past and now you want to pick it up again, or continue learning with a teacher?

Your situation might be described above or be something different, it doesn't matter. I'm offering high-quality, student-centered trumpet lessons with years of teaching experience. My goal is to help you to reach your goals with whatever you want to learn with the instrument, and also equip you with good instrument technique and general music theory knowledge. I have studied both classical and jazz music and played also pop, funk and other styles of music. I have recently graduated from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. In addition to trumpet playing, I'm also a singer and composer. I would be more than happy to teach you what I know from these fields of activities. I hope to see you at my lessons!

Graduate in Performing Arts from TAI University

Graduate in Psychology with a Master’s in Music Therapy from UNED

Specialized jazz studies at Berklee College of Music and Escuela de Música Creativa

Studies in singing styles and vocal physiology at Nina Academia

Vocal recovery training with LaxVox at Aurea Speech Therapy Clinic

I have been studying opera and classical singing since the age of 12, as well as jazz, choral, and musical theater singing. I have been performing in musicals since 2015.
These studies have given me a wealth of tools to adapt to what each student needs and wants, because the most important thing is that we never stop enjoying music.

My classes are based on three core principles. The first is having a clear method, rooted in the real functioning of the voice—its physiology (what science tells us about how we use the body to sing)—and applicable to anyone, step by step, with logic. I always prioritize the student’s vocal health and rely on scientifically proven methods. I use simple language, without unnecessary technicalities, so everything is easy to understand and makes sense.

The second is the emotional and psychological aspect. For me, connecting with the person in front of me is essential—understanding how they think, how they perceive themselves, what blocks them, and what motivates them. This way, I can adapt the classes to their personality and goals. I try to create a relaxed environment based on respect, trust, and a little humor, where everyone feels free and comfortable. We aren’t all born with the voice we wish we had, but we can all develop what we do have—and on that journey, singing becomes a way to know and accept yourself better.

And the third is the dedication and professionalism with which I approach this work, which I am truly passionate about.

All classes are divided into a warm-up and vocalization section, followed by work on a chosen piece suited to the student’s level and preferred style. Regardless of style or level, a foundation in classical singing will always be established.

Sound is a word with a broad meaning. In these classes we will focus on listening sessions and sound composition/improvisation. At first, we will exercise the art of listening (natural and artificial/man made sounds). Later on we will try to make sound compositions and improvisations manually and on computer programs (optional).

Listening is a powerful tool for daily awareness. Listening to your surrounding, means being aware of other things and entities that exist around you, which adds on to a deeper understanding of oneself and one’s environment.

Through a selection of music, sounds and a series of exercises, I will guide you through a journey of listening to yourself and your surrounding.

Have you ever imagined singing with your whole body? Would you like to reach the highest notes easily? Together, we will dive into the secrets of operatic technique, which is considered the most healthy for our voice. We will explore the classical repertoire in a fun way with movement and breathing exercises, tailor-made for you. I am a vocal coach and classical singer, an alumnus of the Conservatory of Amsterdam. With a background in musical and architectural studies, I combine my knowledge to approach singing in innovative ways. My students often say I have the power to unlock their potential with my tips. I say that I am just passionate about the musical voice that each one of us holds inside. Specializing in vocal education, I love teaching both beginners and advanced, and sharing the joy of singing, because I believe that everybody can—and should—sing!

For artists, songwriters, and creatives ready to shape their vision.

Are you working on your own songs and feeling stuck?
Do you have a head full of ideas but struggle to bring them together into one clear artistic story?
Or maybe you’ve already created something you're proud of, but you want to take it further — deeper, bolder, more you.

I'm here to help you connect the dots.

As a singer, songwriter, producer and creative director working on my own debut album, I know how overwhelming the creative process can feel. There’s so much more to being an artist than just making music. Your sound, your visuals, your story, your live performance — it’s all connected. That’s where I come in.

In our sessions, we can explore whatever part of your creative world needs support:

🎵 Songwriting – melody, lyrics, structure, harmony
🎧 Production Direction – from early sketches to refined ideas
🌙 Artistic Identity – visual storytelling, aesthetics, branding
🎤 Performance & Presence – connecting with your audience
💡 Creative Strategy – organizing ideas and unlocking new ones
🌀 Intuitive Guidance – sometimes you just need a sounding board

You don’t have to do this alone.

Whether you're a beginner or a more advanced artist, we’ll work with what’s already inside you — your instincts, your taste, your questions. Sessions are fully personalized and can be a one-time deep dive or part of a longer creative journey together.
