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 :
- musical techniques: theory (examples: support, modes, colors, effects such as vibrato, etc.) automatically followed, for each of the exercises, by practice (examples: exercises focusing on accuracy, sound production, "mountains Russian ", time, note hold, diction, vowels etc.)
- work on breathing and breathing management
- body awareness
- stability
- resonance
- improvisation / free expression
- improved vocal comfort
- varied repertoire (adapting to your preference)
- 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.

Musical learning meanwhile, will develop your ability to listen and reproduce music, your sense of rhythm, your expressiveness, your creativity and musicality as well as reading sheet music.

The work is focused on multidisciplinarity: voice, vocal health, music and bodily expressiveness, with an emphasis on the acquisition of an optimal vocal placement, on stress management in public and on interpretation.

-Breathing techniques
-Vocalises and technical exercises adapted to needs;

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.

Do you want to know your vocal range? To be able to sing higher notes without damaging your voice? To learn how to hit transitional notes? To achieve a powerful yet agile voice? To master belting, twang, distortion, etc.?

My name is Matteo, I'm a songwriter, pop and jazz singer, and vocal coach with 20 years of experience in music. I offer singing lessons for all levels and ages. My lessons focus on developing body, muscle, and vocal awareness, helping you perceive and consider your body as a musical instrument.

My teaching method is the result of the synthesis of my experience as a singer and the many and diverse study paths followed. The lesson is structured in two parts: the first half devoted to vocal technique, the second half to the musical repertoire and learning the musical language (jazz or pop or other genre).

The vocal technique that I propose is a basic technique for all types of modern singing: from postural education to the care of breathing, from the use of abdominal muscles, to the emission of air to the resonance cavities. We will work on the sound, on the extension of the voice, on the high and low notes, on the passage of register, on the control, on the power and agility.

From a repertoire perspective, the lessons will be tailored to the student's needs and interests, with an emphasis on proper stage presence and posture. I can prepare students for conservatory entrance exams and all types of auditions. If the student wishes, I can also provide instruction in harmony and music reading.

Lessons in piano or harpsichord, with program and repertoire, adapted to the goals and speed of each student, whether young, not so young, or adult, for a general introduction to these instruments, for preparation for high music education, as a supplementary aid for exams in music academies, or for a hobby, or for amateur group music-making, or for developing qualities as concentration, discipline, expressibility, awareness of styles and music history.
In my teaching, I rely mostly on old traditional methods, books, and repertoire, which have proved their efficiency over the time. I also make use of the teaching tradition of partimenti of the old Neapolitan conservatories - exercises for composing that can be applied from early stage. This not only adds a creative element soon after very beginning, but also teaches via practice the basics of harmony and polyphony.
Lessons can be combined (+30min.) with theory/solfege (ear training), if the student wishes.
English, Nederlands, française, Deutsch.
I have been teaching for about 20 years, privately, in Brussels, and in New York in the past, more than 100 students.
I am a graduate of Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel, in baroque cello and harpsichord, but I play also modern cello, organ, and piano.

I offer private lessons in opera singing and vocal coaching, tailored to your level, needs, and desires. 🎶

As a mezzo-soprano opera singer, I graduated with a Master's degree in opera singing from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. I also completed a year of training at the Conservatorio Santa Cecilia in Rome, where I deepened my vocal technique in Italian bel canto.

My method is based on the techniques of operatic art, enriched by my years of training in Belgium and Italy as well as by my professional experience.

🎤 For all levels and all voices

My courses are suitable for both beginners and experienced singers, in operatic singing as well as other styles: pop, variety, jazz, rock or spoken voice.

Whether you wish to discover your voice, progress technically, gain confidence, prepare for an audition, an exam or simply enjoy singing, I offer personalized support according to your objectives.

🌿 A free voice begins with a relaxed body

I pay particular attention to physical relaxation, breathing, and the prevention of vocal tension. My work with speech therapists specializing in voice has allowed me to deepen my understanding of the link between the body and the voice.

I also completed training in polyvagal theory, which enriched my understanding of the links between breath, bodily sensations, and voice. Breathing, relaxation, and vibration exercises can therefore be integrated into the course to prepare the body and promote freer vocal expression.

🎶 Develop a natural and projected voice

The goal is to find a natural projection of the voice, without forcing or creating unnecessary tension, by progressively working on the coordination between breathing, body and vocal production.

Depending on your needs, we can work:

- breathing and support
- posture and body relaxation
- vocal technique and placement
- voice projection
- diction and articulation
- musicality and repertoire
- Body expression and interpretation
- preparation for auditions, exams and concerts

🎭 Theatre in service of the voice

Alongside my musical training, I also have a background in theatre, particularly in the Stanislavski method. This approach allows me to explore voice and interpretation through the body, sensations, images, and intentions.

These tools can be particularly useful for developing a freer, more expressive and personal voice, both in singing and speaking.

✨ My goal: to help you discover your vocal potential and find your own voice, through work that is technical, physical and artistic.

Beginner, amateur, opera singer or simply curious to explore your voice: you are welcome!

Feel free to contact me to discuss your goals and schedule your first lesson. 🎶

As a student myself, I spent many years exploring and questioning different methods to understand how to achieve the best results. For my Master’s thesis, I researched the topic “Finding Your Vocal Way” and studied many approaches to vocal training.
My goal in teaching is to help students develop their voices without stress, to discover their unique potential and musicality, and to truly enjoy the beauty of the musical world.

My lessons are based on improvisations, technique and finding the right songs that match the voice of the singer.
I always start by warming up the voice and work on tensions in the body. I use interactive improvisations to discover the voice.

The Human Voice has an intimate and emotional connection with our physical body and mentality, whenever we express ourself through speaking, singing, improvising or simply long to express what words cannot, the voice is one of the most direct and authentic ways to connect with ourselves and with others.

Drawing on my professional training in Jazz Vocal at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, my background in Chinese traditional music, and years of personal practice in yoga and qigong, I have developed an organic, embodied approach to vocal expression. Rather than focusing only on vocal technique, I guide students to explore the relationship between breath, body awareness, deep listening, and the natural flow of energy (Qi). Through this process, the voice becomes freer, more grounded, and more expressive.

My lessons are open to singers of all levels, as well as anyone who wishes to reconnect with their voice. Whether your goal is to sing, improvise, build confidence, or discover a more authentic way of expressing yourself, I offer a supportive and creative space where curiosity and individuality are encouraged.

Music is a powerful way to express yourself. Playing an instrument can be a very intimate experience — a moment to give yourself some time, put your frustrations aside, and simply enjoy making music. But it can also be a fun hobby to share with the people you love: playing for them, singing and dancing together, or simply listening and enjoying the music.

I want to share this gift with my students.

In my lessons, I believe it is important to have goals and, at the same time, to enjoy the journey. I want my students to play music that inspires them and pieces that they genuinely enjoy. Whether you are starting from the beginning, returning to the piano, or looking to develop your playing further, we will work together to find the right balance between learning, improving, and having fun.

For me, playing the piano is not only about learning the right notes. It is about discovering your own voice through music.
