From 125 C$ /h

Unleash your vocal potential with an innovative method!

Breath work, breathing exercises, and posture work to release tension and allow you to sing more freely

- Choice of repertoire and pieces based on your preferences and our progress objectives!

- Work on your stage presence and your interpretation to express yourself in the best possible way!

- Work on phonation and diction

I trained as a pianist from the age of 5 and then as an opera singer, I discovered opera and fell in love with it!

I decided to settle in Italy, the cradle of singing, and graduated with a Master's degree from the Florence Conservatory. I then secured soloist contracts in various opera houses across Europe, including the Teatro Verdi (Florence) and Teatro Pavarotti (Modena) in Italy, the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium and the Seville Opera House in Spain, the Sofia National Opera (Bulgaria), and others.

In parallel, I am training to be a stage director; I have worked in particular at the Paris National Opera and the Madrid Opera.

I had the pleasure of accompanying my students in preparing for their auditions for the Maîtrise de l'Opéra comique, the Conservatoire national de Lyon, the Berlin Opera etc... They succeeded!

About Me

Do you want to develop your voice, gain freedom, and sing with more power and expression? Welcome!

As a professional opera singer, pianist with a degree from the Paris Conservatory, and stage director, I offer **singing lessons for all levels and styles**: opera, pop, rock, R&B, French chanson, musical theatre...

My training as an opera singer has allowed me to develop a solid and precise vocal technique. But my goal is not to make you sing "like an opera singer": **I will provide you with technical tools that we will adapt to your voice, your personality, and the style you prefer.**

Beginner, amateur, professional or emerging artist: each course is personalized according to your objectives.

**A real plus: I am also a pianist with a degree from the Paris Conservatory.** Therefore, I can accompany you directly on the piano during lessons and work with you in a very musical way.

**My journey**

Holding a Master's degree in singing from the Florence Conservatory and a piano prize from the Paris Conservatory**, I perform as a solo singer on prestigious stages in Europe, notably at the Florence Opera, the Sofia National Opera and the Teatro Pavarotti in Modena.

I also work as a stage director at the Paris National Opera, the Teatro Real in Madrid and the Berlin State Opera.

This dual experience as a singer and director allows me to work on the voice, but also everything that makes an interpretation come alive: musicality, intentions, body and stage presence.

**My goal: to help you find a free, personal, and expressive voice — with high standards, kindness, and enjoyment.**

Whether you dream of singing for pleasure, preparing for an audition, or developing a real artistic project, you are welcome. :)

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 :

- well-being by the vibration of the voice
- personal or artistic development - accuracy, note keeping and precision - vocal modes including timbre
- volumes: softness and power - sound colors: from dark to light - vocal effects, range requirements - nuances: volumes, mimics, attitudes, sound quality - exploration of musical styles (folk, pop, classical, blues, rock, song, World music ...)
- 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.

I am a jazz singing student in France, where I stayed after a year of Erasmus. I would like to teach my students the art of singing. It should be fun, with the accompanying technology!
Music theory and the more theoretical aspects of music are certainly also possible!

At the beginning of the course we will work on the technical aspects of the voice: Breathing, support, resonance zones, posture, projection, accuracy, vowel opening...using vocal exercises and appropriate exercises.

In the second part we will address the repertoire, including the rhythmic understanding of the songs, the meaning of the text, the phrasing, and the placement of the voice according to the style of the piece.

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.

After developing Muscular Tension Dysphonia in 2010 and not singing for almost two years, she overcame this vocal disorder after working with some of the best voice and voice rehabilitation specialists in the UK. This experience further motivated her interest in teaching the following to her students in contemporary voice* using knowledge and training gained by renowned vocal coaches, ENTs and voice rehabilitation specialists:

- Vocal technique, health and hygiene
- Guidance in voice rehabilitation with students experiencing or recovering from vocal issues
- Managing Performance Anxiety
- Breath control

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.

Hi!

This course is not just a Singing course. It's about asserting yourself but by singing.
Be comfortable in society thanks to singing. From Eye of the Tiger, Survivor, The Greatest Showman... Sad or cheerful song, learn to overcome emotions, to confirm yourself and anchor yourself in the ground.

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.

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).

*///*NEW: MONTHLY GROUP WORKSHOPS*///*
What is this ?

- A workshop ONCE A MONTH on a weekend (in principle)
- In small groups (5 to 8 people)

How does it work?

A short group warm-up.
You play a song excerpt.
The group and I provide constructive feedback.
You experience a mini individual coaching session (but with the group as an audience and support for objective feedback).
Once all the individual coaching sessions are finished, everyone plays their song a second time and we observe everyone's progress :)

With the following objectives:
- To meet interesting people (other private tutoring students).
- To experience a moment together, in a caring and educational environment.
- Discovering the stage and learning how to inhabit it in front of an audience (posture, attitude, energy, grounding, self-confidence, etc.)
- To work on one's interpretation beyond technique.
- To face the gaze of others.
- Overcoming shyness and fear of judgment.
- To receive feedback from outside sources, other than family or friends, in an educational setting.
- Learn from others and be a learning support for others.

The idea is that everyone learns from each other during this moment of sharing! Pretty awesome, right?!

I hope you will be as excited as I am about doing these Group Workshops!

Terms and conditions
- One session per month (3 hours) if enough people register.
- Between 5 and 8 participants.
- No commitment: you can come once on a one-off basis or every time.
- Open: you can bring a friend who would like to discover singing, try their hand at performing on stage or test my teaching approach.
- Booking required (Place due if cancelled less than 48 hours before the event).

*///*Piano Lessons (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 courses, teaching methods, or anything else, feel free to send me a message ;)

Looking forward to working together!
Axel

Does your child love to sing and want to develop their voice, gain confidence or improve their technique? Do you want to start singing yourself or improve your skills?

I offer private singing and vocal technique lessons, fully personalized according to the level and objectives of each student, whether beginner, amateur or already experienced.

Each course is structured in three parts:

1. Physical and vocal warm-up
Body relaxation, diaphragm placement, breathing exercises, posture and grounding, to prepare the voice and avoid any tension.

2. Vocal Technique
Exercises adapted to the student's level: breath control, voice placement, accuracy, articulation, resonance, power without straining.

3. Application to a piece
Putting the technique into practice on a song chosen by the student (or suggested) to work on interpretation and enjoy singing.

The styles are open: pop, variety, French chanson, lyrical... according to desires.

In addition, I offer the basics of music theory and piano for students who wish to learn to read sheet music or accompany themselves while singing.

My teaching is largely derived from that of my teacher, Robert Expert, a former biologist who became a renowned singer and singing teacher (CNSMDL, CRR 93, CRB).

It is based on the most scientific approach possible and aims at helping students understand the mechanisms that allow them to sing:
- the functioning of breathing;
- how to manage physical exertion and what implications this has on the whole body;
- what are the resonators;
- how to produce a projected, unamplified sound (in the context of operatic singing)
- learn to stop before hurting yourself and to respect your instrument
- etc ...

After years as a choir member and soloist, my ear has developed a keen awareness of the various issues that can affect a singer. This allows me to guide you towards a better use of your voice. My goal is to fully respect your well-being, help you find joy, and empower you to become increasingly independent in your vocal exploration.

Hello, my name is Angélique!

Passionate about singing, especially soul, RnB, and pop, I want to share the joy of singing and help everyone dare to use their voice. With my supportive approach, I aim to guide beginners so they can gain confidence, explore their vocal potential, and enjoy singing, without pressure or judgment.

For me, the most important thing is not to sing perfectly, but to dare to try and gain confidence in your voice!
