Jazz, pop and soul singing lessons / piano lessons for beginners.
From 146.63 C$ /h
I have different kind of lessons:
1. Face-to-face lessons of modern singing
Modern singing: technique, improvisation and repertoire
The face-to-face classes take place at a studio in Prenzlauer Berg and are mainly aimed at adults and teenagers who want to learn music. They have a duration of 50 minutes.
In singing classes, breathing and vocal technique are worked through warm-up exercises, always with the aim of working the voice in a healthy and correct way. My classes are mainly focused on the repertoire of the student’s preferred style, which can be pop, soul, jazz, blues, bossa nova, tango and bolero, among others. Each style is worked differently and with the appropriate resources to lead to a good interpretation.
Both for warm-up and repertoire I usually accompany the student on the piano. Depending on the style sometimes I may work with karaokes. I also teach a good use of the microphone, to fight stage panic and to enjoy a performance on stage. The singing lessons are aimed at people of any level, from beginners to advanced, even to someone who is preparing an exam for an upper grade of modern music.
My main objective is above all that the student feels motivated, and not under pressure. For me it is very important that the student enjoys music and the music lessons.
2. Initiation to piano: modern harmony and auditory education
The piano lessons are aimed primarily at beginners. My intention is mainly to prepare my piano students so that they can later develop a more advanced style with a teacher whose main instrument is the piano. For this, I start with basic exercises for a good hand technique and with simple songs so that the student learns to read music. For those who already have a basic level, I start directly with scales and chords, mostly focusing on teaching songs in modern harmony. The main objective is the motivation of the student, avoiding pressure. For me it is very important that the student enjoys music and the music lessons.
3. Modern singing on-line lessons
Modern singing on-line classes: technique, improvisation and repertoire
Like face-to-face classes, online lessons last 50 minutes. They are also aimed at adults and teenagers who want to learn music and find virtual classes more comfortable, for whatever reason.
The lessons are given through a virtual meeting app, either Jitsi or Zoom. They are similar to those in the classroom, with the difference that a little more time is devoted to the repertoire than to the technique.
I consider of great importance that the student enjoys the lessons also in this case and does not lose motivation.

About Me
Catalina Sophie (whole name Catalina Sophie Gabriel) was born in Heidelberg (Germany) in 1989. At the age of 6, she moved with her family to Madrid (Spain). She showed her interest in music very early and began to sing with only 10, studying in diverse music and dancing schools, while she was completing her studies at the German School of Madrid. She speaks fluently Spanish, German and English.
She did her main studies in San Sebastian, obtaining a Bachelor in jazz singing at the Musikene conservatory in 2016. Previously she obtained a Modern Singdiplom at the Music School Musica Creativa and a Musical Diplom at the center of dramatic arts in Madrid.
Catalina has been leading different projects since 2011 on, with whom she performed in the Spanish and German jazz scene, as well as in Argentina.
She published her first contemporary jazz album, “Blue Tree”, in November 2017, which contains mainly her own compositions and arrangements. She presented it with different musicians in Madrid, Donostia/San Sebastian and Berlin.
Catalina is currently living in Berlin, where she not only keeps working in the jazz-pop scene, but has also made a name for herself in the world of tango and Argentine folk music; musical genres she has grown up with since she was a child and to which she feels especially connected.
