Healing through the Voice - Violin lessons (Beginner-Advanced)

From 96.58 C$ /h

After many years of experience, teaching has become an ongoing passion and I developed a powerful and fun approach of teaching for beginners and advanced students.

Singing lessons -
Discover your own voice as I support you developing your personal sound and the technique needed. We will be doing vocal warm ups, improvisation and sing the songs of your preference.

Violin lessons -
Noticing that a lot of violin players are unable to play music without scores I tend to work using more the ears instead of scores. Besides learning songs and improvisation in the musical genre that the student prefers, I also emphasize on technique and posture.

Every person is unique and needs a particular and personal approach!

About Me

With a deep love for improvisation, movement and sound exploration, her teaching reflects an open, creative and personalized approach.

She studied classical music during her school years, and later completed a Bachelor in Jazz Violin at the conservatories of Leuven and Antwerp, learning from masters like Alexandre Cavalière and Kurt Van Herck.

Hello,
I am a violin teacher and violinist. Having taught the violin for 20 years and knowing in depth different instrumental techniques and different teaching methods, I can adapt my teaching to the needs, age and character of each student. In addition, my educational background combined with the unique experience and knowledge given to me by my relatively recent motherhood and my love for children and other human beings, has led me to pursue positive teaching with empathy towards the student who aims to make him happy, to love music and to acquire a solid basis for his overall development! I am also able to teach with the Suzuki method. I teach children from the age of 3 and even adults. I organize concerts for my students at least twice a year. Classes are in French, English and Greek. For more information do not hesitate to write me. Thank you.

I'm a recording artist and a singing and piano teacher, with over 20 years of teaching experience in Europe (including Belgium) and the USA where I was among the top 10 tutors in Washington DC. I'm a professional singer-songwriter. I teach students around the world including New York, California, Washington DC, Honolulu, Colorado, London, Paris, Brussels, and Switzerland.

I offer voice lessons, piano lessons, songwriting tips, and music theory.

Voice/Singing: I teach the technique of Mix singing which is the most sought-after singing technique in the music industry and teaches singers to transition smoothly from chest voice to head voice and receive the full benefits of "both voices": the natural and powerful sound of the voice with a big range and a beautiful tone.

Piano: I teach using the classical method, applicable to both classical and modern music.

I can help you also with songwriting, music theory, learning the chords, reading the music, and give you some current music business tips plus help you with the recording or live performance.

I am university-educated with over 18 years of educational experience, including at Berklee College of Music in Boston, USA.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

I'm looking forward to working with you! :)

The violin is an instrument that speaks directly to the imagination. Many people dream of playing it — whether inspired by classical music, film soundtracks, folk music, or simply the beauty of its sound. Maybe you are discovering the violin for the first time, or perhaps you would like to reconnect with the instrument after playing it in childhood. Whatever your starting point, you are warmly welcome to begin or continue your musical journey with me.

As a conservatory-trained musician with teaching experience at beginner and intermediate level, I guide students through the fundamentals of violin playing in a clear, patient, and supportive way. Together we work on posture, bow technique, intonation, rhythm, sound production, musicality, and developing confidence with the instrument.

For me, learning the violin is not only about technique, but also about expression and finding your own voice through music. Every student has a different personality, sensitivity, and way of learning, so I adapt each lesson to your individual needs, goals, and pace. I believe music should feel alive, inspiring, and enjoyable.

My teaching style is positive, flexible, and encouraging. I want students to feel comfortable exploring, making mistakes, and gradually building a genuine connection with the violin and with music itself.

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.

This progressive and tailor-made method aims to develop your voice:
-Breathing techniques
-Vocalises and technical exercises adapted to needs;
- Repertoire work
- Accompaniment for studio recording and scenic performance
-dynamic exploration, diversification and release of one's voice while having fun and going beyond one's limits.

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 sing transitional notes? To achieve a powerful yet agile voice?

My name is Matteo Schifanoia, I am a songwriter, pop and jazz singer, and vocal coach with 20 years of experience in music. I offer singing lessons for all levels. My lessons focus on developing body, muscle, and vocal awareness, which helps us perceive and consider our bodies as musical instruments.

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.

Passionate about the performing arts since childhood, I first studied the violin, then dance and theater to finally combine time with lyrical singing.
I studied musical comedy and then opera in various courses including the National Conservatory of Music in Paris.
I have been giving private lessons for several years and I have created several musical shows with amateur adults in associative settings.
Each voice is unique! I really work according to the stamp, the level, the personality of each one. I am convinced that voice work, in addition to being beautiful and pleasant, helps us to gain self-confidence, develops our imagination, helps to let off steam and unburden ourselves of all that we experience on a daily basis!
I adapt to the desires and objectives of everyone: the actor wanting to add a color to his palette, the lawyer wanting to calmly work on his voice, the student wanting to sing in the evening, all workers wanting to sing to let off steam, for all people who are convinced they don't know how to sing...

In the program :
singing technique, breathing, body awareness, discovery of repertoire...

What we could work on:

- Improve your violin technique
- Explore the vast violin repertoire
- Preparation for an orchestra audition
- Let's talk about stress on stage!

Here is some information about me:

I obtained my master's degree at the Vienna University of Music and Performing Arts as a solo violinist, as well as in chamber music.
Since 2018 I have held a position in the 2nd Violin Group of the Belgian National Orchestra in Brussels.
As an enthusiastic chamber music player, I play regularly and give concerts with different ensembles in Belgium as the Brussels String Quartet.
Teaching and sharing with you all my music knowledge has a very important role in my life.
My research on how to deal with stress on stage is another topic that I find essential and very helpful for everyone who has some issues and wants to improve in that way.
