About Me

With a degree in Musical Sciences and over a decade of diverse musical experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to my teaching. My journey in music began with the cello, which I played for 10 years, honing my skills and deepening my appreciation for classical music. This foundation allowed me to participate in a variety of ensembles, from symphonic orchestras to the vibrant and intricate rhythms of Indonesian gamelan.

Currently, I am a Modern Music singer, blending my classical training with contemporary styles to create a unique and engaging musical perspective. My varied background enables me to connect with students of all interests , providing a rich and comprehensive learning experience.

Education

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Musical Sciences, which has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of music theory, history, and performance practices. My education covered a wide range of subjects including music theory, composition, musicology, ethnomusicology, and the analysis of different musical genres and styles. This diverse academic background has equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to teach and perform a variety of musical traditions, from classical to contemporary. Through rigorous coursework and practical experience, I have developed a deep appreciation for the intricacies of music and a strong foundation to share this passion with my students.

Experience / Qualifications

My musical journey is rich and varied, reflecting a deep commitment to both performance and education. I have honed my vocal skills through dedicated singing classes with esteemed vocal coaches. My practical experience is further enriched by my role as a volunteer singer with the Christian International School of Prague Choir since 2024 and several other choirs.

I have also led and directed the theatre group “Expressões e Impressões,” managed by Odivelas’ City Hall in 2023, showcasing my leadership and organizational skills.

Hi! I have over 7 years of teaching experience from young kids to adults of all levels and I love it! My goal is for my students to find joy in playing an instrument and have fun during the lessons. I also aim to make every student come out of the lesson feeling motivated to carry on learning, and tailor the lessons to what they want to learn and how to achieve their goal.
I can also help students prepare for their piano exams and theory exams.

My lessons are tailored to each student’s age, experience, and goals.

Children (7–12 years old)
For younger students, lessons focus on building confidence while making learning fun. We begin with simple vocal warm-ups and ear training to develop pitch and intonation, then move on to singing their favourite songs, encouraging good vocal habits in an enjoyable way.

Teenagers (12-17 years old)
With teenage students, we start with more structured vocal warm-ups and exercises. As we discover their natural voice, we work on developing a comfortable vocal range, improving technique, and applying these skills through songs that suit their voice and interests.

Adults and seniors (18+)
For adult students, lessons are usually divided into two parts. We begin with vocal technique, focusing on breathing, diaphragm support, scales, arpeggios, and intonation. We then apply these techniques through singing, helping you develop confidence, control, and healthy vocal habits. I will give you repertoire to study or we will study the pieces you have to prepare. The final goal will be to sing on a musical accompaniment.

Every student learns at a different pace. Some may spend more time building a solid technical foundation before moving on to more challenging repertoire, and that’s perfectly fine. My priority is to ensure that every student feels comfortable, supported, and confident throughout their vocal journey.

I teach children, teenagers, and adults and seniors from complete beginners to advanced singers. My classical training provides a strong technical foundation that can be applied to any musical style, whether you enjoy pop, musical theatre, jazz, rock, or classical singing. Whatever your age or experience, I’d love to help you discover and develop your voice. Let’s sing!

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. 🎶

The theory of everything tends to be really scary and music theory can be too. I am very keen to make music theory easy for everyone. For some people there is only one way to tackle the unmentionable but I believe there are many different approaches and one of them will click with you. It is simply finding out what is best for each person. Once we find the key we can unlock the problems that have puzzled you for ages.

Music theory needs to be more than a requirement, it needs to be the way to really appreciate the music you are playing. Certain aspects can also lead to additional practical skills such as improvisation which can be very useful as well as very enjoyable.

Whether you want to understand a particular aspect of music theory or If you struggle with music theory in general, then this is the class for you - why not give it a try?

I am active as a music artist and producer myself. Thanks to this combination of classical training and practical experience, I know how important it is to make theory understandable, concrete, and musical. I use my own piano during lessons to clarify everything visually and audibly.

- Scales, chords & harmony.
- Form and analysis (classical, jazz or pop).
