Guitar and singing lessons in Brussels with a professional singer-songwriter/producer (En/Fr)

From 96 C$ /h

Trained at the Music Academy International, I propose private lessons of Guitar, Singing, and/or Audio Production centered on amplified music (funk, soul, jazz, rock, blues, etc.) and adapted to the requests of each student.

My classes are open to all, children and adults, beginners or advanced. I attach great importance to the understanding of the technical tools implemented in the interpretation of the pieces, a typical lesson is therefore divided between technical work with clear explanations and actual practice on songs to play or sing.

If the student is interested, I also teach the more theoretical aspects of music, such as harmony (scales, chords, modes, improvisation), music theory, rhythm, ear training, and deciphering.

I also offer coaching sessions. These are non-regular sessions to target work on specific aspects of the requested repertoire.
Each lesson is accompanied by work material (paper or audio) to practice at home.

For guitar lessons, an instrument can be made available, for singing lessons, I accompany the student on the piano or the guitar (it is also possible to use backing tracks when the key and tempo are right ) and for audio production, I can provide the software required to start on any operating system (Win, Mac, and Linux) (I don't work with pirated software).

Classes are given in my studio in Etterbeek, 5-minute walk from La Chasse.

I also teach group lessons for singing, do not hesitate to contact me for more information.
Flexible schedule (daytime or evening).

Extra information

I have been teaching for over 10 years. I taught in different private schools and youth centers as well as for professional programs funded by the EU. By a personalized and open teaching, my students are brought to become autonomous in the musical practice to always better share their art around them. Many students also play in groups or participate in different castings or musical programs.

As a vocal coach, I understand that it is important to develop a good vocal technique but also to develop self-confidence and mastery of oneself in order to be able to deliver the best of oneself in any situation.

I deal with students of all levels and ages. I explore with them different musical fields according to their desires and affinities. My classes are a mix of technique, improvisation and practice. I really like the practice to include an element of interactivity with my students and so that they are able to come out of my lessons with mastered pieces, in their own way. Indeed, I also like to take the time to research with my students their own inner voices and talents so that they really find themselves artistically speaking; a kind of musical inner journey.

So, if you are looking to develop your vocal and musical abilities as well as develop your own artistic voice, do not hesitate to contact me!

Objective: acquire a solid vocal technique allowing you to sing with accuracy, ease and expressiveness.

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.

Do you want to know your vocal range? To be able to sing higher notes without damaging your voice? To learn how to hit transitional notes? To achieve a powerful yet agile voice? To master belting, twang, distortion, etc.?

My name is Matteo, I'm a songwriter, pop and jazz singer, and vocal coach with 20 years of experience in music. I offer singing lessons for all levels and ages. My lessons focus on developing body, muscle, and vocal awareness, helping you perceive and consider your body as a musical instrument.

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.

Passionate about the performing arts, I have worked in theatre, dance and music. I began my singing career with musical theatre and then opera.
I teach alongside my stage activities because it is a joy to share the love of singing, a discipline that is rich physically, artistically and mentally.
Every voice is unique, and it's important to adapt to each student's personality, desires, and background. I enjoy exploring and researching with my students to help them bring out and develop their voices to the fullest extent of their abilities.

My courses are based on 3 main principles:

- Vocal technique: developing a healthy and solid technique, giving confidence and freedom while singing. Breathing, muscle support, stretching and vocal range homogeneity, agility...

- Musicality: ear training, sense of rhythm, phrasing, exploration of vocal nuances and colors

- Interpretation: Text work, projection, repertoire discovery, song construction

I divide the sessions into half an hour of technical exercises adapted to the level and needs, then another half hour devoted to learning a piece.

I offer private lessons in opera singing and vocal coaching, tailored to your level, needs, and desires. 🎶

As a mezzo-soprano opera singer, I graduated with a Master's degree in opera singing from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. I also completed a year of training at the Conservatorio Santa Cecilia in Rome, where I deepened my vocal technique in Italian bel canto.

My method is based on the techniques of operatic art, enriched by my years of training in Belgium and Italy as well as by my professional experience.

🎤 For all levels and all voices

My courses are suitable for both beginners and experienced singers, in operatic singing as well as other styles: pop, variety, jazz, rock or spoken voice.

Whether you wish to discover your voice, progress technically, gain confidence, prepare for an audition, an exam or simply enjoy singing, I offer personalized support according to your objectives.

🌿 A free voice begins with a relaxed body

I pay particular attention to physical relaxation, breathing, and the prevention of vocal tension. My work with speech therapists specializing in voice has allowed me to deepen my understanding of the link between the body and the voice.

I also completed training in polyvagal theory, which enriched my understanding of the links between breath, bodily sensations, and voice. Breathing, relaxation, and vibration exercises can therefore be integrated into the course to prepare the body and promote freer vocal expression.

🎶 Develop a natural and projected voice

The goal is to find a natural projection of the voice, without forcing or creating unnecessary tension, by progressively working on the coordination between breathing, body and vocal production.

Depending on your needs, we can work:

- breathing and support
- posture and body relaxation
- vocal technique and placement
- voice projection
- diction and articulation
- musicality and repertoire
- Body expression and interpretation
- preparation for auditions, exams and concerts

🎭 Theatre in service of the voice

Alongside my musical training, I also have a background in theatre, particularly in the Stanislavski method. This approach allows me to explore voice and interpretation through the body, sensations, images, and intentions.

These tools can be particularly useful for developing a freer, more expressive and personal voice, both in singing and speaking.

✨ My goal: to help you discover your vocal potential and find your own voice, through work that is technical, physical and artistic.

Beginner, amateur, opera singer or simply curious to explore your voice: you are welcome!

Feel free to contact me to discuss your goals and schedule your first lesson. 🎶

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.

The Human Voice has an intimate and emotional connection with our physical body and mentality, whenever we express ourself through speaking, singing, improvising or simply long to express what words cannot, the voice is one of the most direct and authentic ways to connect with ourselves and with others.

Drawing on my professional training in Jazz Vocal at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, my background in Chinese traditional music, and years of personal practice in yoga and qigong, I have developed an organic, embodied approach to vocal expression. Rather than focusing only on vocal technique, I guide students to explore the relationship between breath, body awareness, deep listening, and the natural flow of energy (Qi). Through this process, the voice becomes freer, more grounded, and more expressive.

My lessons are open to singers of all levels, as well as anyone who wishes to reconnect with their voice. Whether your goal is to sing, improvise, build confidence, or discover a more authentic way of expressing yourself, I offer a supportive and creative space where curiosity and individuality are encouraged.
