Being a Composer - Learn to Write Songs

Ever wanted to write your own songs? Do you like folk singing? Are you the leader of a band or do you want to be a French Bob Dylan?
With basic composition methods, I can help you create your own music. If you want to sing with electronics, a guitar, a piano or just write a text with chords it's quite possible. I will teach you basic music theory, several composition methods to start a song.
Even if it's rap or heavy metal, I can help you somehow

About Me
course:
I am a lyric singer, performance artist and electronic music producer from Bergen, Norway. I am mainly a classical singer (mezzo-soprano), but I have many other experiences from courses and masterclasses in CVT, ESTILL, Alexandre technique, improvisation technique and general pop singing.

Methodology:
Regardless of the genre, I usually work with key concepts for "healthy vocalization"; namely "support", body and balance, vocal placement and "projection", as well as psychology and musicality.
The first half of the lesson is usually composed of technical exercises. The rest consists in interpreting a song prepared by the student, emphasizing the incorporation of the techniques used during the exercises as well as the pronunciation and the musicality.
Most importantly: "I want you to feel that you can be the best you can be!". I want you to feel that you can be the best of yourself!

I was born in Norway, but my mother tongue is English thanks to my British father from London. I have good language skills to learn other languages, and I have a bachelor's degree in education and music. I am a trained teacher.

My method includes oral and written practice, depending on the level of the student and what he wants to learn. I really want the student to form his own sentences and try to write texts. I also have learning materials on which the student can work at home.

(It is also important to know that my French is very basic and that it is difficult for me to learn English to someone who does not speak it at all).

Passionate about singing for a long time, I like to share my achievements. Singing lessons for individuals or groups for children, adolescents, adults, seniors.

If the student wishes, he will be free to choose the pieces on which he wants to work.
It is possible to work on singing to relax and to free oneself from the ailments prevalent in our modern society by improvisation games and exercises of harmonization and stimulation of the voice. In each class (1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes), we will educate our body to work on posture (anchoring), exercise it in abdominal breathing, initiate it in vocal warm-ups (certain exercises resulting from the straw method). We can work different styles (except classic). Possibility to learn songs from around the world or jazz standards as well as singing from modern music.

I also give musical awakening lessons for children (for the little ones accompanied by one or both parents) Songs, rhythms, hand games, sound effects, discovery of different instruments, tales, musical awareness ...

Your profile :

You enjoy and are attracted by music and especially singing. You want to learn to master the basics of vocal technique, breathing and interpretation. You are a beginner.

Lessons :

The one-hour course is based on a first part of the work of voice and breathing with simple exercises. A second part will be dedicated to the learning of pieces desired by the student to work more on the interpretation. And especially for fun, it is above all a hobby!

My journey:

Daughter of singing parents and amateur musicians, it is from a young age that I am passionate about the musical universe. I join the choir of my college and the private lessons of several teachers (at school, in extra activity ..). I then went to a music school. Guitar and singing lessons. I joined a band for almost 8 years. Today, I make small cover on social networks and I form myself as a self-taught piano and in composition. I do not have any degree in the sector. I do not professionalize myself because the music is above all for me saving and I do not want to distort what it brings me everyday. I offer these courses (without solfeggio) for the desire to transmit, learn and share only.

Do you dream of creating music that reflects your own style? You're in the right place! With years of experience in music production and self-taught training, I'm here to help you achieve your goals, whether you're a beginner or an advanced level. We'll work on composition, mixing, mastering, sound design, arrangement, live performance, and more!

For me, music is a true adventure of research and creation. We build our own sound ecosystem using synthesizers, effects, strategies, and various techniques. But above all, the result depends mainly on the intention we put into it. It's a matter of mood and state of mind.

I've had the chance to come into contact with many different musical universes, from metal to electronic music and from hip hop to jazz. I started with electric guitar, then studied for a four-year guitar lutherie diploma. I also taught music in a school before discovering the world of computer-assisted music, which opened up incredible new perspectives for me. Since then, I've done two years of musicology and taken some training at the Fastlane french audionumeric school, where I deepened my knowledge of production, composition, and mixing on a computer.

See you soon,
Johan

Hello,

I offer singing lessons for all levels, in contemporary music but also in operatic singing (classical music) as well as extreme techniques like screaming and vocal fry.

Having graduated from the Carcassonne Conservatory with a diploma in music and a professional singing career, I will help you to better understand your voice, free it, strengthen it and gain confidence.
My goal is to help you develop a healthy, effective technique tailored to your needs, whether you are a beginner or already experienced.

Teaching is a true passion for me. Since each voice is unique, I create a personalized program for each student, based on their objectives: expanding their vocal range, improving their power, singing without fatigue, preparing for an audition, working on a specific piece, or discovering a new vocal aesthetic.

The lessons take place in a supportive, attentive and progressive environment, always with respect for your instrument.
