About Me
A tailor-made musical journey, at the crossroads of singing and piano 🎶
I am Mélanie, a singing and piano teacher, singer-songwriter and passionate about music since I was 5 years old. My background combines a solid academic training in pop/jazz singing at the University of Montreal, years of practice in classical, pop and jazz piano, and a rich experience in musical creation. These assets make me a versatile teacher, ideal for accompanying aspiring singers and pianists.
Why choose my courses?
✨ A personalized approach: Each student is unique, and I adapt to your needs, your goals and your musical desires. Whether you are a beginner or advanced, I quickly detect your motivations and guide you with kindness to surpass yourself and reveal your full potential.
✨ Learn while having fun: My motto? “Love of music and pleasure above all.” My lessons combine rigor and lightness for an enriching and memorable experience.
✨ A double advantage – singing and piano: As an experienced accompanist, I can help you master the art of accompanying yourself on the piano while singing. Ideal for artists who want to shine on both instruments.
✨ Professional recording: Do you dream of immortalizing your voice or piano performances? My portable studio allows me to offer you recording sessions, whether for pleasure or more ambitious projects.
How is a course going?
Singing lessons (60 minutes)
• 10 minutes: Breathing exercises and muscle tone, essential for solid vocal technique (especially at the beginning).
• 20 minutes: Vocal warm-up and ear training. I guide you with targeted exercises, clear explanations and personalized corrections. You will receive the recordings (mp3) by email to practice at home.
• 30 minutes: Application of techniques in your favorite songs, working on interpretation and expression.
For who ?
From curious young children to passionate teenagers, to adult amateurs, professionals or even retirees wanting to have fun, my classes are open to everyone. No matter your level, you will find attentive listening and motivating support with me.
My little extra 🎤
With my skills in microphone technique, music software and recording, I can also introduce you to the world of sound production. Imagine learning to sing and record your own songs, while perfecting your technique and style!
Looking forward to meeting you and sharing this wonderful musical adventure with you.
🌟 Take the first step, your passion is waiting for you! 🎹🎤
