The art of singing: breathing techniques, ancient music, lyrical, interpretation, theory

From 69.25 C$ /h

Lyric, Baroque and traditional singer gives singing lessons, vocal technique, interpretation, musical culture at home (Paris 8)

After studying in Poland (Master of performing arts - opera singing) I came to France to deepen my knowledge of Baroque repertoire, style and period ornamentation.
Early music becomes my specialization, however my second passion is contemporary music, however I master the classical and romantic repertoire.
My mind is open to all musical styles: I practiced realistic song, singing variety and - with great success - the traditional Slavic song.
Since my musical education is established by the theoretical foundations (Bachelor in musicology at the Sorbonne), I would be delighted to share my experiences in this discipline during singing lessons, or to teach them separately.
I also teach small piano lessons and music theory lessons for beginners.

Classes are conducted in French, but when I am Polish, I could give in Polish or English too.

A course can last from 1h up to 1,5h. It's up to you.

In exceptional cases I can come to your home, but mainly I give lessons at home (Paris Rome-Batignolles).

It's a joy for me to be able to introduce myself as a teacher. I think it's a very responsible and fascinating job that can lead to very nice encounters and exchanges between priceless people!

Polish and French courses for non francophones

52.76 C$ /h

Polish course by a Polish native to all levels, French for foreigners, at home (Paris 8)

I give Polish language courses for French people of Polish origin who want to learn their mother tongue, or for foreigners who want to visit Poland, go work there, move ... for students from the Polish language to the Sorbonne, and also for all those who have the curiosity to know this language for leisure!

Polish is my native language, I did all my education in Poland, always being very passionate about Polish literature.

I am also fascinated by etymology. In Polish you find more French words than you expect!

Since my profession is lyrical and baroque, I have a lot to do with the pronunciation of European languages.
I found my own key to the best understanding and memorization of consonants that are not easy in Polish!
Since I know very well the classical repertoire and the Polish variety, I could help you to translate and pronounce the Polish songs!

These days, many foreigners love k-pop and want to learn their songs. But it is too difficult to pronounce the lyrics perfectly. Even there are already many videos for learning them in online but you couldn't confirm yours immediately so it is more difficult.

But WITH ME, YOU CAN HAVE A REAL PRONONCIATION. I will teach you

1. how to pronounce
2. what the lyric means
Also, there are many useful phrases in lyrics so you can learn the real korean conversation.

It's no problem that you have high or low level now.
Just bring your passion and smile.
Moreover, If you have a K-POP song that you want to learn, don't hesitate to bring me.

I am sure that you will really enjoy this tutoring.
If you understand the song completly, you could be touched more.
I expect to meeting you soon :)

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.

My teacher's credo

As an opera singer, I have had the opportunity to perform on international stages while continuing to teach, which is a true vocation for me.

In vocal pedagogy, I believe that each student is the bearer of a unique instrument: their voice. This is why it is essential to adapt teaching and methodological tools to the individuality of each student. This approach allows me to conduct my classes in a variety of ways, choosing the most relevant vocal exercises or repertoire pieces to reveal the individual potential of each voice.

My technique is based on:

* in-depth breathing exercises,
* awareness of the whole body as an instrument,
* understanding the biological principles of breathing and its artistic role,
* the development of a free and resonant vocal emission.

My main objectives are to:

* maintain a feeling of high vocal position, awareness of resonant cavities in singing,
* work on the purity and continuity of vowels (legato), work on diction (Italian, German, French, etc.)
* gradually develop the tessitura,
* harmonize and balance the different vocal registers.

Finally, I place great importance on the student's personal development. Building a voice also means supporting an artistic personality: this involves guiding each student toward a repertoire adapted to their stage of vocal development, while nurturing their sensitivity and self-confidence.

Hello!
I am a classically trained singer with a DEM in Singing and a Bachelor's degree in Musicology. Specializing in breath and breathing techniques as well as singer's posture, I also have Feldenkrais training.
Having returned to Paris after teaching singing at the Münchner Musikhoschule and the Genima Musikinstitut in Munich, Germany, I have been giving lessons in operatic singing and vocal technique for 20 years.

Beginners are welcome!

I teach in a cheerful atmosphere. The relaxed approach to singing within a rigorous yet supportive framework quickly leads us to the pleasure of fully expressing ourselves and freeing our voices while developing our personalities.

Breath control and vocal technique mastery bring confidence and motivation. Students will be able to discover the full range of their vocal tessitura and develop their vocal abilities, enabling them to sing with pleasure and ease, and to freely express their interpretation.

Each lesson begins with body awareness and posture, coordination and freedom of movement. We then "awaken" our breath to establish deep, low diaphragmatic breathing.
Vocal work begins with phonation exercises to connect breath and vocal production, and vocal exercises to place one's voice.
The second part of the lesson is devoted to singing a piece and its interpretation.

I also support you in preparing for your auditions and competitions,
offers coaching to learn how to assert yourself and gain confidence and stage presence.

I regularly organize sessions with a pianist to sing along to the pieces I've worked on!

I teach lyrical singing during a lesson which is broken down into two sequences: first work on pure technique, based on muscular coordination with breath, breathing and posture. Then, depending on the student's level, interpretation work on one or more pieces, putting the technique into practice, to which we add actual musical work.

Hello, I am a professional Ukrainian singer of pop and jazz, winner of several competitions, and creator of my own musical projects.
Since 2017, I have been actively involved in teaching to develop the voice and creative potential of both adults and children.

3. Eliminate physical and psychological vocal tensions.
4. Expand your vocal range, strengthen, and flex your voice.

I offer music lessons for children focused on four main areas: music theory, singing, cello, and rhythm. My approach is playful, caring, and adapted to each child's age and pace.

Through music theory, I help children develop their musical ear, read and understand sheet music in a lively and interactive way. In singing, we explore the voice with gentleness and freedom, working on breathing, expression, and the joy of singing together. Cello lessons are designed to introduce young children to the technique of the instrument, while maintaining an element of play and sensory discovery. Finally, rhythm workshops allow children to move, strike, feel the tempo, and play with rhythm through their body and percussion.

Above all, I seek to transmit a love of music and to offer a space for listening, expression and trust.
Each lesson is a little musical journey, where the child learns while having fun.

Hi! I’m Joseph (Jossy Dee) on Spotify, Apple music & all streaming platforms, I'm a music producer and professional artist with hands-on experience creating and releasing original music. I work with aspiring artists who want to turn their ideas into real, high-quality tracks — not just theory, but practical results.

In my lessons, we focus on music production from an artist’s perspective: building beats, arranging songs, improving sound quality, and developing a creative workflow that fits your style. I also help students understand songwriting, basic music theory, and how to use the piano as a tool for composition and production.

If you’re interested in releasing your own music, I can guide you through the fundamentals of music distribution and promotion so you understand how to prepare your tracks for streaming platforms and grow as an independent artist.

My lessons are practical, supportive, and tailored to your goals — whether you’re just starting out or already making music and want to level up with guidance from a working artist.

Fundamental Thought:
ANYONE CAN LEARN TO SING!
It's important to know this!
The singing voice is part of our human capabilities, it's just not taught in our culture, but EVERYONE can learn!

FOR WHOM:
This course is for anyone who wants to learn to sing, speak in public, or improve their speaking voice.
Children, teenagers, and adults alike, there's no age limit to start learning ;)
Whether you are a complete beginner (and wish to develop a healthy and solid foundation) or an intermediate (to continue to evolve and develop your technique) this is the right place for you and I would be delighted to accompany you on this exciting journey towards the singing voice!

MINDSET:
- First of all, we always work with gentleness, kindness and joy ; )
Singing is a very intimate act, which puts us in a form of vulnerability, so it is essential to work with confidence to feel free to experiment, to make mistakes and to evolve healthily.
The goal is to develop technically and artistically, at your own pace, and with joy!
- It's important to be kind to yourself: learning vocal technique can take time; it requires patience, perseverance, and confidence to see results ;)

POSITIONING:
My teaching method is simple: find what works for you, in relation to your goals and what challenges you.
I constantly adapt my approach and exercises to the student I have in front of me.
We always start from what the body can do (the spoken voice) to take it towards the singing voice.
We never work by force or against the body's natural processes: we always strive for a healthy vocal technique, free from tension and pain ;)

PROCEDURE:
During the first lesson, we will start by taking stock of the situation, seeing what is already in place and what needs to be worked on.
Afterwards :
- Vocal preparation (warm-up),
- Technical exercises (to progress towards the defined objectives),
- Work on the song of your choice (to put it into practice).

PIANO (Accompaniment):
For those who wish, I also offer lessons on piano accompaniment for singing.
You'll discover the basics of piano and chords (international notation, so no music theory) so you can (eventually) accompany yourself on any song in the world just by reading a chord chart! And that's pretty cool, isn't it? ;)

If you have any questions about the course, the teaching methods, or anything else, feel free to send me a message ;)

Looking forward to working together!
Axel
