Discover The Potential of Your Singing Voice (Vocal Technique)

From 88.08 C$ /h

Hi! I am Maria and I love to sing and make to songs :)

I am a professional jazz singer with over 13 years of experience and I have been a music teacher for over 8 years in several Universities and Colleges in Colombia.

The fundamentals I will teach you are based on: posture, breathing, warm-ups, intuitive singing, a repertoire of your choosing (if you have songs written by yourself we can also work with them!), and ear training (as it is a fundamental skill to develop your musicianship). The course emphasizes the connection and awareness of your body as the root of a healthy vocal practice, including breathing and stretching Yoga exercises.

We will advance according to your vocal experience and your learning process as each voice and background is quite different, everyone is welcome!!

Come along and start/continue developing the potential of your singing voice!

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.)

- 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

- 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.

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.
