My singing lessons are open to singers of all levels—whether you’re a professional, advanced, or beginner. Whether you want to grow as a singer, musician, or artist, feel confident on stage, or simply sing for fun, my lessons are designed to meet your individual needs. Each lesson is structured around you and adapted to your level and goals.

I have a holistic approach. Our voice, mind, body, and emotions are deeply connected, and changes in one affect the others. Using this comprehensive approach will help you become a more conscious singer. In addition to vocal technique, we’ll address the mental, physical, psychological, and emotional aspects of singing, all of which are crucial for balanced vocal development and achieving your goals. These elements are intertwined, and when we understand this connection, we can fully explore our potential.

Diverse Repertoire: Versatility is key to becoming an outstanding singer. My coaching covers a wide range of musical genres—from pop and jazz to musical theater and rock—so you can develop a well-rounded voice that’s confident and adaptable. With my experience as a songwriter and performer, I incorporate a variety of techniques and styles to help you unlock your potential and build a strong stage presence.

If you’ve never sung before, don’t worry! I’ll help you explore your voice and develop it with exercises suited to your current abilities. If you already know what you want to focus on, you’ll take the lead in deciding what to work on. I’ll provide feedback and equip you with the tools to improve, planning your practice in a way that’s efficient and tailored to your learning style.

During our lessons, I’ll help you diagnose vocal imbalances and find ways to improve your voice. We’ll set clear goals and explore new methods to use your voice how you want while keeping it healthy. With a range of techniques (such as Estill Voice Model, Modern Vocal Technique, and Complete Vocal Technique), we’ll discover the exercises and approaches that best suit you and help you achieve the sound you desire. Singing lessons will push you out of your comfort zone and help you realize that your voice has unlimited potential—it can be shaped into whatever you want it to be.

Vocal health is a core part of my teaching, but technique alone doesn’t make a great singer. We’ll also work on developing your unique sound, style, and artistic choices. I can help you with performance skills and interpretation, which are where your personality shines through. Together, we’ll analyze what a song needs and how you can make it your own, so you feel confident on stage and connect with your audience without barriers or blocks.

Beyond specific vocal techniques, I understand that singing is just one part of a bigger picture. Our voice, mind, body, and emotions are all interconnected, and changes in one area affect the others. My teaching takes into account these mental, physical, psychological, and emotional aspects, which are crucial to being balanced and reaching your full potential—not just as a singer but as an artist.

Singing lessons will also help you strengthen other musical skills like rhythm, improvisation, and music theory. As a pianist and guitarist, I can also help you develop your skills on those instruments so you can use them in your vocal practice or to accompany yourself on stage.

Singing is fun for everyone, and being a "good" singer isn’t something you’re born with. It’s shaped by your life experiences and how much you’ve allowed yourself to explore your artistic side. Some people are naturally more exposed to music, but everyone can improve and develop their voice with the right guidance. Your “natural” voice is simply the result of years of conditioning from your environment, but it’s entirely up to you to shape and change it.

Extra information
Hi!

Here’s some info before our first lesson. Please read carefully to prepare and to know what to expect from our lessons together 🙂

PREPARING FOR THE FIRST LESSON
Prepare for the first lesson thinking about some songs options. Choose something that you are comfortable with (meaning that you know the lyrics and melody), but also not too comfortable with (so that I can understand what your issues may be and we can plan how to work on them).

Try to sing them at home a few times before meeting me, if you can, and try to do so with a backing track or karaoke (without the singer singing with you). It’s important that you learn to hear yourself without the help of another voice singing with you. Do this so that you aren’t taken off guard when we meet! 😀

Also, I know how awkward it may be for some people to sing in front of a stranger. We’ve all been there and there’s nothing wrong with it. For our first lesson, try to relax, get out of your comfort zone and try it out. It will get better, I promise!


ENJOY IT!
I can’t wait to meet you and work with you. Remember, I’m not here to judge, but to help you know something more about yourself and your voice!

Individual Counselling: A Personalised Path to Growth
Everyone’s journey of personal growth is unique, and I believe support should be just as personal. My counselling sessions offer you a space to explore your emotions, gain clarity, and find practical ways to move forward.

What is Counselling with Me Like?
Working with me, you’ll have a safe, non-judgmental space where we can focus on what truly matters to you. Through one-on-one sessions, typically lasting 10–15 meetings, I help you navigate challenges, develop new skills, and reconnect with yourself in a meaningful way. Whether you’re facing a specific difficulty or simply want to understand yourself better, I’m here to support you.

How I Can Help You
In our sessions, we can work on:

- Relationship Challenges – I help you improve communication and resolve conflicts in couples, friendships, family dynamics, or work relationships.
- Making Important Decisions – If you’re feeling stuck, I support you in gaining clarity on big life choices—career, relationships, personal growth, and more.
- Managing Stress & Emotions – I guide you in handling stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm, offering practical techniques to regain balance.
- Navigating Change – If you’re going through a transition like a new job, relocation, or a breakup, I help you adjust and find stability.
- Rediscovering Your Authentic Self – I encourage you to strengthen self-awareness and live in alignment with your values and desires.
- Personal Growth & Motivation – Together, we tackle procrastination, reconnect with your goals, and unlock your full potential.
- Workplace Well-Being – If work-related stress or career dissatisfaction is weighing you down, I help you explore new perspectives and solutions.
- Building Resilience – I help you develop inner strength so you can face future challenges with greater confidence and adaptability.

A Practical and Goal-Oriented Approach
Counselling is not therapy or psychiatry; it’s a structured, short-term, and goal-focused process. Rooted in active listening, respect, and empathy, it offers professional support to help you identify your needs and create meaningful change.

As a counsellor, I provide guidance and tools tailored to your unique situation, drawing from scientifically validated models and a deep human connection. My role is to offer a non-judgmental space where you can explore, plan, and move toward the life you want. Every counselling journey is tailored to the individual's need and I can adapt my tools to your goal.

If you’re ready to gain clarity, make meaningful changes, and rediscover balance, let’s work together to create the life you envision.

My lessons are tailored to each student’s age, experience, and goals.

Children (7–12 years old)
For younger students, lessons focus on building confidence while making learning fun. We begin with simple vocal warm-ups and ear training to develop pitch and intonation, then move on to singing their favourite songs, encouraging good vocal habits in an enjoyable way.

Teenagers (12-17 years old)
With teenage students, we start with more structured vocal warm-ups and exercises. As we discover their natural voice, we work on developing a comfortable vocal range, improving technique, and applying these skills through songs that suit their voice and interests.

Adults and seniors (18+)
For adult students, lessons are usually divided into two parts. We begin with vocal technique, focusing on breathing, diaphragm support, scales, arpeggios, and intonation. We then apply these techniques through singing, helping you develop confidence, control, and healthy vocal habits. I will give you repertoire to study or we will study the pieces you have to prepare. The final goal will be to sing on a musical accompaniment.

Every student learns at a different pace. Some may spend more time building a solid technical foundation before moving on to more challenging repertoire, and that’s perfectly fine. My priority is to ensure that every student feels comfortable, supported, and confident throughout their vocal journey.

I teach children, teenagers, and adults and seniors from complete beginners to advanced singers. My classical training provides a strong technical foundation that can be applied to any musical style, whether you enjoy pop, musical theatre, jazz, rock, or classical singing. Whatever your age or experience, I’d love to help you discover and develop your voice. Let’s sing!

Do you have trouble reading music? Do you love listening to music, but don't understand time signatures, keys or chords? Music theory often sounds abstract, but with the right explanation and concrete examples it suddenly becomes a lot more logical, and even fun :)

For whom?
- Beginner or advanced musicians who want to better understand what they are doing.
- Students preparing for music theory exams (e.g. music school, entrance exams).
- Independent artists/producers who want to deepen their musical knowledge.
- Anyone who is curious about the language behind music.

What can you expect?
- Clear explanation, at your own pace.
- Theory made immediately applicable with examples on the piano.
- Extra attention to insight instead of learning dry rules by heart.
- Tutoring fully tailored to your level and goal (classical, pop, songwriting, production, ...).

About me
I obtained a Grade 8 diploma in Music Theory and also a Grade 8 Piano from the Royal Schools of Music. In addition, I hold a diploma in Audio Engineering from Hofa College. I am active as a music artist and producer myself. Thanks to this combination of classical training and practical experience, I know how important it is to make theory understandable, concrete, and musical. I use my own piano during lessons to clarify everything visually and audibly.

Possible topics:
- Learn to read music.
- Scales, chords & harmony.
- Form and analysis (classical, jazz or pop).
- Rhythm, time signatures & tempo.
- Music theory for producers/songwriters.
- Songwriting.
- Preparation for exams or entrance tests.

🎶 Feel free to send me a message with your questions or goals. We'll see how I can best help you.

Classical music has evolved over more than a thousand years into a rich and complex art — one that requires not only passion, but also trained listening and understanding.

In these personalised one‐on‐one lessons, you will develop your ear through:

- Ear training based on integrated solfège and musical harmony

- Essential music theory

- Writing exercises and dictations, with clear guidance on techniques to master them

- Harmonic analysis of your repertoire and other universal or personally relevant pieces

These foundations will help you:

- Grasp the function of musical elements

- Gain a clearer and fuller understanding of music

- Improve your playing and musical memory

- Improve musical reading

- Express music with clarity and confidence

Whether you are:

- An amateur with an intermediate or high level

Or

- A musician aiming to go professional

...these lessons will help you connect more deeply with music, perform with greater accuracy, and enjoy it more than ever.

According to your musical level, I will guide you through short and basic daily exercises using a clear step‐by‐step method:

- Each exercise lasts from 5 to 15 minutes

- Essential to practise regularly for maximum efficiency

- Not overly difficult, but requires a bit of perseverance (just 10 minutes a day) to obtain the best results

📍 Available online and in‐person in Paris (preferable). But a mix of both is also possible.
🎯 Contact me today to book your first lesson and start your personalised programme.

Those who reach a high level of harmony will be able to unlock the next level: Musical form. Analysis tools for advanced students.

Fully online piano assessment and focused follow-up lessons in English for serious students who want a clear professional view of their current level, their main technical-musical bottleneck and the next practical steps.

This is not a casual lesson. It is a structured professional assessment for students who practise regularly but do not fully understand why their playing still does not sound free, stable, expressive or convincing.

I am a Russian-trained concert pianist and piano educator with more than 20 years of teaching experience, international performance background, recordings, masterclasses and academic-level teaching experience.

I teach piano as an integrated system: sound, movement, rhythm, phrasing, memory, musical understanding and intelligent practice.

During the assessment, I look at the student’s playing as a complete musical and technical system:

— sound and tone quality
— body coordination and technical freedom
— rhythm, pulse and inner stability
— phrasing and musical direction
— articulation and dynamics
— reading and understanding the score
— voice balance, harmony, form and musical logic
— memory and reliability
— practice method and self-checking skills

After the session, the student receives a written summary with the main observations, the central bottleneck and a concrete practice plan for the next stage of work.

Possible formats:

1. Piano Assessment / Piano Reset
60 minutes online + written summary with a concrete practice plan

2. Piano Assessment + 4 focused follow-up lessons
After the assessment, we can continue with 4 online lessons focused on improving the main bottleneck: reading, rhythm, sound, movement, phrasing, memory or practice strategy.

Format: assessment session + 4 focused online lessons

This format can be especially useful during the summer break, before the new school year, before an exam, recording or performance, after a long break from piano, or when the student feels that regular practice is not bringing the expected progress.

The goal is not simply to add more pieces or more practice time. The goal is to understand what exactly is blocking progress and to build a clearer, more effective way of working.

Please write to me with a short description of the student’s age, level, current repertoire and what feels most difficult at the moment.
