Lyrical singing lessons and vocal technique, 20 years of experience

From 109.97 C$ /h

I am a classically trained singer with a Diploma of Musical Studies (DEM) and a degree in Musicology, and extensive stage experience. I specialize in breathing techniques and have completed Feldenkrais training for singers. I have been teaching singing and vocal technique between Munich and Paris for over 15 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!

About Me

I began piano and classical dance at the age of seven. I later studied singing and opera at the Paris Conservatory while simultaneously pursuing a degree in Musicology at the Sorbonne. I discovered singing instruction while working as a substitute teacher, as I was singing as a soloist and chorister, and it immediately captivated me. Since then, I have specialized in breathing techniques and posture, and I have completed Feldenkrais training for singers. My study of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) has given me a solid foundation in positive psychology, which greatly enriches my teaching approach.
During my time living in Munich between 2006 and 2023, I gained extensive experience working with German musicians. I developed my career as a singing teacher at the Munich Adult Education Center (Münchner Volkshochschule), the Genima Music Institute in Munich, with the Franco-German Choir of Munich, and through private lessons. In addition, I regularly performed in concerts, recitals, and musical evenings at venues such as the Seidlvilla, the French Institute, the European Patent Office, and the French Consulate in Munich, as well as in concerts organized for the Fête de la Musique (World Music Day) until July 2023.
Today I have been teaching singing for over 20 years and I am preparing new concerts.

Education

I studied singing and opera at the Paris Municipal Conservatory of Music and obtained my Singing Prize (formerly known as the DEM) at the Cachan National School of Music, as well as a Bachelor's degree in Musicology from the Sorbonne. I also completed a specialization in breathing techniques and posture with phoniatrist Nicole Charpy and Fendelkrais training for singers.

Experience / Qualifications

Today I have been teaching singing between Munich and Paris for 20 years and continue to perform in concert. I give my lessons in French, German and English.

Young professional opera singer, tenor, with a Master's degree in singing at the CNSMD Lyon, I give lessons to students of all levels.

I propose a work centered on the technique in harmony with the body, to (re) find the natural and the comfort while seeking the musicality and expression.

We can work as much for the discovery of the voice as for pleasure, or in the preparation of deadlines (competitions, auditions, concerts, preparation to join a choir, etc.), always in a good mood!

I offer lessons of an hour or an hour and a half according to your preferences and I accompany the students on the piano or guitar as needed.

I alternate according to the wishes and needs of a student of the courses
- where we start with 30/45 minutes of technique: breathing exercises, posture, vocalizations then the remaining time to apply this to a piece (brought by the student or under my suggestion)
- centered on music and interpretation, with a quick warm-up of between 10 and 15 minutes then a deeper dive into a piece, its musical and literary interpretation, and its style.

Classes can also be given in English or Spanish.
Possibility of doing lessons in the 12th arrondissement with a pianist who accompanies for a small supplement, more information by message.

I am a professional lyric soprano graduated from the CNSM of Lyon.
I participate in productions with the Concert d'Astrée, the Choir of Namur, Accentus, the Opéra National de Lorraine, Choir de la Chapelle Harmonique. I am also on the lists of the Montpellier Opera, Concert Spirituel, Ensemble Correspondances and Radio France choir.
I have just finished a production of Haydn's Die Schöpfung at the Opéra National de Lorraine last January-February, conducted by Marta Gardolinska (Guillaume Fauchère choir director), directed by Kevin Barz.

I sang solo and in chorus the role of the Trojan woman in Campra's Idomenée in 2021 at the Lille Opera and the Berlin Staatsoper, staging of the fura dels baus,
I also sang the solo of Campra's Requiem at the philharmonies of Luxembourg, Lille, Essen Cologne and Berlin with the Concert d'Astrée in 2019 directed by Emmanuelle Haïm.

In 2019, I participated in the production of Les Indes Galantes by Rameau with the Namur Choir at the Opera Bastille, directed by Leonardo Garcia Alarcon and directed by Clement Cogitore. In 2022, I participated in numerous productions, notably with the Accentus choir in Beethoven's 9th symphony, the missa solemnis or even a polyphonic baroque project.
In 2022 I participated in the production of Hulda by Cesar Franck with the Namur Choir at the Grand Manège de Namur, the Liège Philharmonic and the Théatre des Champs Elysées.

My background as well as my skills in lyrical singing allow me to master my instrument well. I am a very curious and very patient person, and I like to find solutions to problems. Transmitting my passion to students wishing to discover or develop their voices, discover their artistic personality would be a great pleasure for me. If I can transmit this joy that I have from singing as well as my acquired knowledge, it would be a great exploration for them as for me.

The Singing Course guides you in acquiring the “fundamentals” of vocal technique:

- The quality of breathing: Acquisition of costo-diaphragmatic breathing and controlled expiration for healthy alignment of the vocal cords
- Acquisition of sensations for a balanced adjustment of resonance spaces.
- Active listening to initiate the perception of the vocal gesture to be performed.

Singing Lessons, teaching to support your artistic project whether or not you have musical training.

The Singing Course is led by a state-certified singing teacher, First Prize winner of the CNSM in Paris, and professional opera singer.

I give singing lessons and I teach:
- the vocal technique
- jazz improvisation
- the jazz, lyric, variety, pop etc repertoire ...

In my class, I rely on the vocal technique of the old Italian school. That is to say .... I do not push your voice to do anything else. I remove bad habits, I ban your involuntary effects that you do not control ...

The goal is to make you discover your natural tone, thanks to my vocal technique acquired with Thalia Carouza, director of the school of the natural voice and professional lyric singer.

For more information, do not hesitate to ask me your questions!

I am a professional vocalist, performer, and voice instructor with a background in classical music and musical theatre. I have 10+ years of classical training and graduated from Marymount Manhattan College in New York City with a B.A in Musical Theatre Performance. I offer singing lessons to people of varying ages and levels of expertise, from total beginners to more advanced vocalists. My lessons focus on helping you to develop or polish your technique (regardless of your preferred genre of music.) We will utilize exercises engineered to develop a strong, healthy phonation with minimal extraneous tension as well as strengthen breath support and control of the breathing mechanism.

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.

Building vocal technique in principle or helping you find your operatic voice. If you love opera, opera arias, French, English, or Italian melodies, if you have already learned to sing but want to improve your vocal technique, if you are passionate about the operatic voice and love to sing, even if you are a beginner, do not hesitate to contact me.

I'm an active opera singer.
I offer my knowledge, experience and individual approach your voice and artistic talents. In our lessons we will concentrate not only on the vocal technique but on the musicality, dramatic content of each composition, style, language and diction details depending on the languages you would like to sing with. I like working in detail and appreciate working with people who are passionate about voice, music and want to grow.

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.
