Our opera school teaches the performing arts: dance, singing, theater, conducting, drawing costumes and sets, etc. Our herbal artists thus connect to the historical, linguistic and cultural contexts of each era and country while becoming actors in their creative universe.
Our teachers are renowned professional artists, graduates and winners of international competitions, speaking French, German, English, Russian and Italian. Beyond the transmission of their art, their objective is to arouse the love of languages thanks to the sounds encountered in the different operas.

Welcome,

I am a singing teacher, a student of lyrical singing at the Geneva Conservatory of Music since the age of nine and of modern singing at the Institute of Complete Vocal Education in Geneva since 2009.

I offer private and group lessons at home (between Geneva and Thonon). I can also welcome students to their homes in Veigy.
I teach in English or in English.

I guide the student through the initiation to singing and the establishment of reflexes essential to their practice. Generally speaking, these points include body/facial posture, breathing, accuracy, and rhythm. At the same time, I encourage them to discover and practice each mode, color, and effect that can be achieved with the voice.

I use the piano and/or guitar as support.

I also offer recording and looping sessions as well as support in songwriting.

The voice is a personal and complex instrument, which is why I adapt each lesson to the goals and personalities of my students.

See you soon!
Eleonore

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.

My goal here is above all to share my passion. Each lesson will therefore be adapted according to the style, level and desires of the student. I use breathing techniques that are simple, effective and accessible to everyone. Rapid warm-up of the voice (vocalizations) and direct immersion in pure singing with or without music depending on the student's needs. Accompaniment on piano or guitar or via Playpack. Breath, search for groove, accuracy, feeling, emotions, singing is an art that requires total letting go. My goal will be to do everything to help you achieve this.

Hello and welcome !

After many years of study and experience as a soloist on the world's greatest stages, alongside leading conductors and directors, I have chosen to combine teaching with my international career in order to share my expertise with anyone who wishes - by vocation or passion - to discover the fascinating world of opera singing.

A solo career is a demanding one: you need solid technique, a high degree of self-confidence, and a thorough understanding of your vocal instrument to be able to manage and care for it. But good technique is just as essential for those who sing for pleasure or in a choir, whether professional or amateur.

Each voice has its own particularities, and together we will seek to respect the nature of your instrument and lay the foundations for a healthy technique, based on correct diaphragmatic breathing.

My lessons last one hour and are suitable for everyone: whether you are a beginner or an experienced singer.

Do not hesitate to contact me for any questions or additional information, in order to design a program adapted to your needs, your pace and your ambitions.

My mother tongue is Italian, but classes can naturally be held in French, English or Spanish.

Hello to you !

I am a soloist in full career, graduated with a Bachelor and a Master of Soloist in Lyric Singing from the Haute École de Musique de Lausanne. I have 24 years of singing lessons behind me and a rich stage experience. I lead my solo career on the stages of many countries (England, Milan, Paris, Bordeaux, Geneva, Lausanne, Brazil, Belgium...). Although already having significant experience in vocal teaching, I am, in parallel with my career, pursuing a 2nd Master in Vocal Teaching at the Haute École de Musique de Genève, in an effort to further perfect my approach to singing teaching.

Before specializing in opera singing, I performed for more than 12 years in the pop/variety genre.

I will help you discover your voice, whether you are a beginner or experienced, on a technical, musical and aesthetic level.

I can also help you learn your musical part if you are a member of a choir.

We'll discuss your goals and work with a methodology that works for you. A tailor-made path to help you progress as you wish.

Classes are generally structured around a warm-up and technique section (body awakening, exercises, vocalizations), then we work on the piece(s) you want to sing. And finally, we take a few minutes to debrief on the class and discuss what's next.

If you have difficulty with music theory, no problem! I will be happy to help you with this.

Possibility of taking courses in French, Italian or English.
