With a beginner, I devote half of each course to technical work. I start the class with some body exercises to wake up the body and then follow up with breathing exercises. Once the body is awake and breathing has entered its cycle, I propose drumming exercises. First I make him sing vocalizations on the vowels that suit him well, then I add the consonants to these vowels. Consonants arouse sensations in the muscles of the face, make the lips vibrate and some help lift the soft palate.
Once the voice is turned on, I ask the student to sing while walking so that he finds a kind of flexibility in his body and he looks for his voice from the physical movements. This gives a movement, a game that engages the body. Thanks to this approach, the body is better mobilized and the abdominal muscles participate unconsciously in the work. This also helps him to perceive his center of gravity and awakens deeper support. During class, I often approach the student to check the muscular work and the opening of the ribs and back. I fix my attention on the jaw tension and I propose exercises that can solve this problem. Thus the voice begins to free itself by taking a richer tone and a rounder tone.

The course is dedicated to music learning and interpretation, incorporating technical elements as well as some vocalizations. In general, before choosing the program for the student, I take the time to get to know the type of voice of the student, his way of being, the characteristics of his personality to better adapt the genre of music and the directory. I often choose pieces that help to install the medium of the voice, especially taking into account the student's mother tongue. Having already worked on the medium of the voice, the student gradually begins to expand his vocal range. The touching and dramatic content of the chosen piece often pushes the student to engage physically and mentally in the song by expressing his own expressiveness.

Italian is the language of singing par excellence because it contains pure vowels. Thanks to the Italian repertoire, I'm working on the legato, on longer sentences as well as on the phrasing, on the spirit of the piece and on the dynamics of the piece to discover how the music really exists when all the elements are found.

Goals and objectives
• Purpose
I would like to share with my student the joy of singing, discovering his body, his voice, the pleasure of performing on stage (both in a choir and as a soloist).
• Goal
By remaining attentive to his desire and his aspirations, I would like to transmit to him a singing technique that will serve him as a starting point and that he knows that by increasing his singing and control abilities on himself the pleasure will be all the greater.
• Main objective
I would like that at the end of a year of work my student is able to manage his breath and learn to support his sentences in a consistent way to find the resonance of his voice by putting all this at the service of the interpretation through his own musicality.
• Specific objective
At the end of a year of work, I hope that my student will have obtained the sound of his voice in his natural tone. The autonomy of his work at home will be beneficial for his progress while continuing to go further in the discovery of music, its forms, its amenities and its dangers while cultivating its own curiosity.

About Me
After completing my studies at the Komitas State Conservatory of Yerevan, I had the opportunity to study at the University of Music of Lausanne in the class of Brigitte Balleys and I obtained the Master's degree in Interpretation and the Vocal Teaching Master's degree. My dual training and my years of development in two countries allowed me to develop my artistic sensibility and my pedagogical knowledge according to different cultures (Armenia and Switzerland).

During my studies I had the opportunity to work with renowned professors as well as with world famous artists (see the CV / Training / Master Course). These experiences and meetings allowed me to perfect myself both in teaching and in interpretation. During these years, I participated in various educational programs in Armenia (technical teaching of singing and work on French diction with young singers at Sayat Nova School in Yerevan) and in Switzerland (replacements in the classes Catherine Pillonel Bacchetta, Francine Acolas, Delphine Gillot at the Conservatoire de Lausanne).

My experiences in the field of teaching have shown me that I could easily establish constructive contact with the student. I perceive their needs and aptitudes and that allows me to answer them effectively. Living in a multicultural country, I find it very important to take into consideration the cultural factor while listening to the student.

Thanks to this dual training and these experiences in teaching, I think I am able to ensure the care of students of all levels and all ages by providing them with my professional skills. My goal is to give them a taste for music and artistic creation, by stimulating their skills to allow them to express themselves through music.

I adapt easily to different professional and cultural environments. Being able to express myself in several languages (see the CV / Knowledge of languages) facilitates this adaptation. Finally, I have great pleasure to teach and thus to participate in the evolution of each student.

Our teacher using, if necessary, an electro-acoustic guitar to better accompany your voice and guide some of its subtleties, the teaching philosophy is adapted to each level, according to the pace of work and motivation.

Program :
- musical techniques: theory (examples: support, modes, colors, effects such as vibrato, etc.) automatically followed, for each of the exercises, by practice (examples: exercises focusing on accuracy, sound production, "mountains Russian ", time, note hold, diction, vowels etc.)
- work on breathing and breathing management
- body awareness
- stability
- resonance
- improvisation / free expression
- improved vocal comfort
- varied repertoire (adapting to your preference)
- well-being by the vibration of the voice
- personal or artistic development - accuracy, note keeping and precision - vocal modes including timbre
- volumes: softness and power - sound colors: from dark to light - vocal effects, range requirements - nuances: volumes, mimics, attitudes, sound quality - exploration of musical styles (folk, pop, classical, blues, rock, song, World music ...)
- improvisation, effects and vocal games, harmonies
-interpretation: work on emotions, body language, stage presence.

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

Musical learning meanwhile, will develop your ability to listen and reproduce music, your sense of rhythm, your expressiveness, your creativity and musicality as well as reading sheet music.

The work is focused on multidisciplinarity: voice, vocal health, music and bodily expressiveness, with an emphasis on the acquisition of an optimal vocal placement, on stress management in public and on interpretation.

This progressive and tailor-made method aims to develop your voice:
-Breathing techniques
-Vocalises and technical exercises adapted to needs;
- Repertoire work
- Accompaniment for studio recording and scenic performance
-dynamic exploration, diversification and release of one's voice while having fun and going beyond one's limits.

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.
