Vocal Lessons Online / BA Jazz Music (Vocals) / MA Music Therapy / Orff Schulwerk Approach for Children

From 68.12 C$ /h

Hello!
My name is Karolina and I am a professional singer, as well as an upcoming music therapist. I studied Jazz Music at Prins Claus Conservatorium in Groningen and at the moment I am completing my Master studies in Music Therapy at the ArtEZ Conservatorium in Enschede, The Netherlands. I also hold a degree of the Orff Approach (Orff Schulwerk), a developmental approach used in music education, which combines music, movement, and speech and it is a great approach for children 4-8 years old.
I specialize in jazz and Brazilian repertoire, but I also teach Greek folk singing.

The lessons are designed according to the needs of each student. Some of the focusing areas are listed below:

1. Vocal Technique:
We focus on vocal technique elements such as breath control, vocal range, the use of all registers, and timbres of
your voice. The goal is to sing effortlessly. With the vocal technique, you will get the chance to explore your voice
and build confidence in your voice.

2. Repertoire:
Together we can build your repertoire step by step and focus on the phrasing of each style. You will choose the
repertoire you like and you can always ask for advice in case you want to explore new musical styles. A great time
of enjoyment during classes where you will be singing your heart out!

3. Improvisation:
Vocal improvisation is a great way to explore the voice and also express your feelings. It will also boost your
creativity and musicality. Specific exercises can also guide you through this process step by step and in that way
we will explore vocal improvisation.

FOR CHILDREN (4-8 years old):

I am specialized in music education for children 4-8 years old. Using the Orff Approach children will have a great creative time for themselves where they learn music by using their whole body. Experiencing and learning music through playing!
Suggested Duration for Lessons for Children: 30-45min depending on the age.

I am looking forward to starting an inspiring musical journey with you!

About Me

I've been discovering music since the age of 6 years old. During the age of 23 to 25, I discovered teaching, while I was still pursuing my studies in Orff Schulwerk Approach. Since then, my love for teaching has been increased enormously and I keep doing it until now.
All levels and genres of music are welcome! Together we can explore the possibilities of your voice and creativity!

Hello! I am Meric jazz singer - musician - vocal coach and public speaking trainer.

If you want to train your ear and sing those fancy notes, there is always an easy way to do that. But of course practice is vital. This class requires basic musical skills. So be sure that you are able to repeat (sing) that you hear.

Would you classify improvisation as composition or performance? Well actually it is both! When you improvise you are composing music on the spot, performing what you have made up at the same time as you have composed it.

For many people improvisation is a scary word and having to improvise in a group or band is an alarming prospect. However, this really does not need to be the case. As long as you have a basic knowledge of how to play your instrument you will be able to improvise. Once you know the principle of how chords are formed you will soon be improvising with ease.

The key to success is understanding chords. Once you know how chords are formed and know what notes make up a few chords you will be well on your way towards being able to improvise. We will, therefore, start by ensuring a firm knowledge of certain chords. After this we will progress to improvising a simple melody over the top of these chords. The next stage is to start using notes that are not in the chord. The process is then open ended with emphasis on developing the melody.

If you play a keyboard instrument you will be able to improvise your own pieces and be able to entertain your friends at a moments notice. On the other hand if you play in a band or a group you will be well equipped to do a real 'jam' session.

Whether you play a single line instrument (flute, saxophone, trumpet, violin etc.) or keyboard instruments, this class is for you.

I teach online via Zoom, using software which allows you to see the exact keys I'm playing on my keyboard.

My teaching method is to focus on whatever type of music the student loves most, and to build from there. I believe that many people give up their dream of playing an instrument simply because they aren't inspired enough, so my goal is to instill a love for music, whatever that means personally for each individual student.

Everyone learns differently and has their own pace and rhythm. I have some students who like to have a regular weekly or biweekly lesson, and others who just get in touch once in a while when they have digested the previous lesson and feel ready to build on it. Whatever the case, I am very flexible and we can figure out what works best for you.

A bit about me:

Originally honing my skills on the British jazz scene and holding residencies in restaurants and bars around the country, I then went on to tour the world playing on cruise ships, hotels and festivals. I returned to London to complete my master's in jazz piano at the Guildhall School of Music, and during this time performed regularly at Ronnie Scotts, The Vortex and many other venues across the UK. I then spent two years in South America learning about salsa and Cuban music. I now mainly work as a transcriber, writing sheet music for all instruments including full Big Band scores. I have also worked extensively in musical theatre, most recently as musical director for 'Jersey Boys', and on the first US national tour of 'Summer: the Donna Summer Musical'. The video shown below is from my stint playing and directing 'After Midnight', a show set to the music of the Duke Ellington Big Band.
