Singing lessons & vocal coaching – Pop, Jazz, Swing, Musical, Hip-hop - Vocal technique, personalized coaching, voice work.

From 74.98 C$ /h

Do you want to know your vocal range? Learn how to sing higher notes without hurting your voice? Learn how to hit the passing notes? Achieve a powerful yet agile voice?
My name is Matteo Schifanoia, I am a songwriter, pop and jazz singer, and vocal coach with 20 years of experience in music. I offer singing lessons for all levels. My lessons focus on developing body, muscle, and vocal awareness, which helps us perceive and consider our bodies as musical instruments.
My teaching method is the result of the synthesis of my experience as a singer and the many and diverse study paths followed. The lesson is structured in two parts: the first half devoted to vocal technique, the second half to the musical repertoire and learning the musical language (jazz or pop or other genre).

The vocal technique that I propose is a basic technique for all types of modern singing: from postural education to the care of breathing, from the use of abdominal muscles, to the emission of air to the resonance cavities. We will work on the sound, on the extension of the voice, on the high and low notes, on the passage of register, on the control, on the power and agility.
From a repertoire perspective, the lessons will be tailored to the student's needs and interests, with an emphasis on proper stage presence and posture. I can prepare students for conservatory entrance exams and all types of auditions. If the student wishes, I can also provide instruction in harmony and music reading.

I'm a recording artist and a singing and piano teacher, with over 20 years of teaching experience in Europe (including Belgium) and the USA where I was among the top 10 tutors in Washington DC. I'm a professional singer-songwriter. I teach students around the world including New York, California, Washington DC, Honolulu, Colorado, London, Paris, Brussels, and Switzerland.

I offer voice lessons, piano lessons, songwriting tips, and music theory.

Voice/Singing: I teach the technique of Mix singing which is the most sought-after singing technique in the music industry and teaches singers to transition smoothly from chest voice to head voice and receive the full benefits of "both voices": the natural and powerful sound of the voice with a big range and a beautiful tone.

Piano: I teach using the classical method, applicable to both classical and modern music.

I can help you also with songwriting, music theory, learning the chords, reading the music, and give you some current music business tips plus help you with the recording or live performance.

I am university-educated with over 18 years of educational experience, including at Berklee College of Music in Boston, USA.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

I'm looking forward to working with you! :)

Graduated in composition and Orchestration and in the art of theater and directing, having a Master in Musical Theater at the Sorbonne University Paris and a doctorate of advanced research in the art of singing and musical interpretation , I propose singing and interpretation lessons, based on the understanding and implementation of the Belt technique (breathing, voice placement, flexibility of diaphragmal pressure, diction) and a practical application of the theatrical method from Stanislavski for a thorough understanding and discovery of the theatrical interpretation of songs.

The course consists of two or three parts:

1. A warm-up with various exercises, with the aim of widening the range, developing the breathing and understanding the mechanism of the phonator device.

2. Practical work on a song with eclectic choice.

3. A part of learning music theory and reading of score, if necessary.

I work with you, putting a lot of emphasis on discovering or developing your voice at your own pace.

I can also propose:

2. Music interpretation course (we work on the game and the construction of a character, the emotion of the song, the nuances)

3. Theater course (Actor's Studio method) - (we work on the body expression, the scenic presence, the connection between thought and action on stage),

4. Course of musical theory and solfege (the bases of the musical theory to be able to read and follow a partition),

5. Preparation course for castings and auditions (work on psychological preparation, stress management, choice of pieces and cutting, etc.).

The price quoted is per course

These courses are intended for singers of levels, beginners to intermediates who wish to improve their vocal skills, as well as for people wishing to better control their voice and gain confidence in situations such as public speaking.

The course is generally carried out in two parts:

A first part devoted to vocal development and technique centered on three essential points:
The agility, placement and connection of vocal registers.
After a complete warm-up based on bodily and vocal exercises, I offer you technical exercises adapted to your needs and your level. My role is to give you the keys and directions to achieve your goals as quickly and with maximum pleasure. This part of the work is essential and should in no way constitute an obstacle to learning, which is why I listen to your desires and feelings to best adapt the technical work and make it a real daily ritual.

A second part completely focused on interpretation. Let's not forget, the goal of this class is to sing! And the best key to progress and to sing what you like. If you play an instrument, I have guitars and pianos so that you can accompany yourself, otherwise, I would be happy to accompany you on the piano to sing the songs of your choice. We try to work on different songs to make learning as fun as possible!

I can also help you write and perform your own songs if you are composing!

As a student myself, I spent many years exploring and questioning different methods to understand how to achieve the best results. For my Master’s thesis, I researched the topic “Finding Your Vocal Way” and studied many approaches to vocal training.
My goal in teaching is to help students develop their voices without stress, to discover their unique potential and musicality, and to truly enjoy the beauty of the musical world.
