Singing lessons: voice training, technique, music theory, interpretation

From 197.35 C$ /h

In this course, your voice is the focus. Through targeted vocal training and healthy singing technique, you'll learn to carry your voice freely, richly, and without strain. We'll work on posture, breathing, and resonance to create a solid foundation for any musical style.
In addition to technique, musical expression is a central element of the lesson: How do I convey emotions? How do I interpret a piece authentically and personally?
This course is suitable for beginners as well as advanced students who want to refine and develop their technique and expressiveness.

About Me

Passionate about music and singing, I combine my work as an international ensemble and soloist with my Master's degree in Music Education at the Basel University of Music. My training includes singing with Marcel Boone, historical singing with Carlos Mena, and flute and harpsichord in Barcelona.
Artistically, I work with the Capella Nacional de Catalunya under Jordi Savall, with whom I have recorded works such as Beethoven's Missa Solemnis and Mozart's Great Mass and performed them throughout Europe. Since 2019, I have worked as a music teacher and choir director.
In 2022, I founded the Brafa Choir in Barcelona, a social project for children and families from a disadvantaged neighborhood. At the same time, I directed the Crescendo Choir, where I also worked as a vocal coach and supported singers in technique, expression, and ensemble work.

Education

I am currently studying for a Master's degree in Pedagogy at the Basel Music Academy and am also taking a minor in historical singing at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis.

I am singer, classically trained with a main focus in early music and voice embodiment. I also studied recorder, clarinet and musicology.

As a teacher and performer, I focus on a joyful, healthy and technically skilled way of singing. I focus not only on the sound production, but also on body posture, relaxation and organic movement. An happy and relaxed body creates a beautiful, natural and relaxed sound.
We choose the repertoire together and work together towards developing your voice, your expressivity, text and style interpretation at your fullest potential.

I have experience teaching several music genres, from classical, jazz, pop, folk music and even extended vocal techniques like growls. I am quite open to the students requests and always willing to research deeper and expand my vocal vocabulary.

Singing is a vulnerable, intimate and also communal act. Sadly, our modern world has mystified it into the sphere of the "born-talent" ideal, which often scares people from even trying to sing. I find this phenomena a cruel and exclusivist perspective on singing.

I consider singing an universal right, and we should all be unashamed of singing, be it in your bathtub, while walking on the street, in a dinner with friends, or in the next open stage at your local bar.

We all have the capacity and the right to sing.
If anybody has told you that you can't sing, they were wrong. Like any skill, you can learn it.
And if you sing, you, your body, and your soul will be happier.

One of my students once said: "You come for a singing lesson and you discover something new about who you are". I think that would summarize well the space I try to create in my lessons.

Learning to sing is a process that comes from within; a story that makes you take the step to improve yourself; to find a way to discover what you believe is best for you and your voice.
But what are we looking for in a singing lesson? Are we really aware of this? Regardless of your level, it is important to be aware of your singing practice as it connects us to our essence and allows us to more accurately express who we are. There will be mistakes, there will be moments of doubt, but I am here to accompany you. The voice will gradually reveal itself, like a stone being carved to express the object of our imagination and desires.

For this reason, in addition to music and singing lessons, I offer a whole path guided by meditation and personal coaching that allows you to improve your relationship with your voice, but also your relationship with yourself.
I think that singing can open new horizons in our lives. Whether you want to learn to express yourself in public, become a confident public speaker, better manage your stress in public, work on your mind, simply improve your singing or make music in an encouraging and caring atmosphere , to share, to become aware: My offers are made for you.

I am currently a final year masters student studying music pedagogy at the Schola Cantorum in Basel. I am passionate about teaching classical singing and working in close contact with students of all ages. Having several years of experience not only as a performer but also as a teacher, I realise just how important it is for my students’ success and development to focus on their individual needs and interests. At the core of every student’s tuition is a strong focus both on developing solid technique and exploring repertoire that they enjoy and feel comfortable with! I like to teach students of all different levels - beginners as well as advanced - and I am also open to students who would prefer group tuition. Most importantly, I want to share my passion for singing and music!

Looking forward to meeting and working with you!
