Professional singer returned to Switzerland after a musical career of more than 25 years in California. My initial training, which began in Switzerland at a very young age, gave me a solid classical foundation. My passion for current music has led me to study under several renowned industry coaches in the Los Angeles area. From pop to R&B and rock.

Member of the groups "Lords of Queen" (tribute to Freddie Mercury) and "BigSky" (with original compositions), whose music is broadcast on several radio stations and streaming platforms around the world.
My modern approach to singing teaching is tailor-made, adapted to your pace and your aspirations. We will work on self-confidence, highlighting your innate talents and overcoming your apprehensions. Patience and relaxation are the main pillars of my educational philosophy. With a holistic approach, combining breathing techniques, meditation and yoga to help you develop a deep connection with your voice.

Work on a repertoire of your choice accompanied by guitar, piano or a karaoke band. Possibility of preparation for voice competitions. I support you throughout your project in order to help you progress at your own pace while respecting your musical style. We can also work in my recording studio to learn recording techniques and the use of music production software (DAW) such as Pro Tools, Abelton Live Logic Pro X and Garage Band.

At the heart of this program:
1. Diaphragmatic Breathing: Learn to breathe deeply using your diaphragm. This will allow you to support your voice and produce more powerful and stable notes.
2. Posture: Proper posture helps free your voice and prevent unnecessary tension.
3. Vocal warm-up: This may include scale exercises and vocalizations.
4. Vocal register management: work on the transition between the different vocal registers (chest voice, mixed voice, head voice) to create a uniform and balanced voice.
5. Mastery of the vocal pose: artistic interpretation, improvisation, stage presence and microphone technique.
6. Articulation: practice clear and precise articulation (French and English).

Laureline
Guitarist, singer, poet, composer, performer ... and with 20 years of teaching experience, I am happy to share my experience and my know-how: both from a technical point of view (musical knowledge, instrumental or vocal technique ...) than from a more global point of view: expressiveness, body awareness, confidence, creativity ...

What interests me above all is to guide you towards more relaxation and confidence as well as autonomy with his or her instruments, to accompany his curiosity, to develop his musical sense and give him the means to go towards the music (s) that attract him.
I like to work from what touches you: welcome to those who know what pieces they dream of playing, what style they like!!... instrumental technique and music are learned all the better through what we like (starting from learning a piece to learn a rhythm, reading new notes, knowing more about a style of music, the form of music, etc.)

VOICE RATING
I propose :
- singing lessons: whatever the repertoire targeted, become aware of your body and the vocal gesture, through vocal and body games bring more naturalness and at the same time more control with your own voice;
- vocal and psycho-bodily coaching: specific training aimed at building confidence with one's own voice and expression;

I also support in the preparation of concert or recording: mastery of voice and breath (!), Interpretation, pronunciation, staging;

VERSATILITY and CREATIVITY!
I support all projects that need a guitar AND a voice:
- do you want to sing along? I teach what is missing in guitar, what is missing in vocals and I have a toolbox today full to facilitate the coordination of the two!

- do you want to compose, write songs, or do you have texts but not the chords, you have the melodies but not the words? ... Do you feel stuck in some part of the process? I can help you unwind the thread of your creativity, better understand your gestures, your "dough", find new paths etc ...

TEACHER / TRAINER

Trained in Grandes Ecoles in France and the United States (Ivy League University), our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in North America and Europe, in the field, in international establishments renowned, and oriented on one axis: effective training with pedagogy and meticulous methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES, FEES
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.
