Your body is your instrument when singing. We try to make that instrument sound as beautiful as possible by working on sound formation. This allows the vocal cords to move more freely, so that you get tired less quickly when singing. Your voice becomes fuller and you can sing higher and lower notes.

During the singing lessons we also work on articulation, the pronunciation of foreign languages and also on the meaning of and your feelings about a particular piece. Of course you decide what kind of music you will sing. Whether you sing alone in the shower or whether you are in a choir and encounter certain difficulties in general or with a specific piece? Please feel free to bring your choir part to class and we will see together how we can make this easier for you. We work on repertoire that you love. We can also make a journey of discovery together to your favorite music.

WHO CAN LEARN TO SING?
Everyone can learn to sing. Because of the singing lessons you will notice that singing becomes easier. Moreover, singing is good for relaxation, both of body and mind. Singing is just enjoying!

YOUR OWN INSTRUMENT
As a singer you already have one advantage over instrumentalists: you do not have to buy an (expensive) instrument. You always have your instrument with you, but... you have to take good care of your instrument!

My name is Polly and I am a professional opera singer. I am currently performing as a Young Artist with Dutch National Opera in Amsterdam as part of their brand new Studio Programme. Alongside performing, I have a passion for teaching classical singing to students of all ages and abilities. As a newcomer to Amsterdam, I am looking to build my teaching studio and to share my love of singing!

Whether you sing purely for your own enjoyment, are preparing for a big audition or performance, or simply just want to know more about how the human voice works, I am here to help!

I previously trained at the Royal College of Music (MPerf, Distinction) and the National Opera Studio in London, as well as working for opera companies including Opera Holland Park, Royal Opera House, Pop-Up Opera, Charles Court Opera, and British Youth Opera. I also achieved ABRSM Grade 8 Piano and Voice (both Distinction), so I am able to provide piano accompaniment in lessons. Prior to my Masters training at the RCM, I studied Molecular Biology and Biochemistry (BSc Hons) at Durham University, which included modules in Animal Physiology. I am therefore fascinated by and have a deep understanding of how the human voice functions.

I teach using the SATS model devised by my teacher Janice Chapman, which uses evidence-based science to teach the fundamentals of classical singing. So, no matter what stage you are in your vocal training, I will be able to help to build and strengthen your vocal technique and help you towards vocal freedom and experience true joy in your singing!

Languages I sing in include English, Italian, German, French, and, to a lesser extent, Czech and Russian. I have received the input of many world-class language coaches over the years, so I am happy to coach you through the sounds and meaning of texts in these languages.

(Lessons at home possible in the Amstelveen area)
I would like to teach you to play the piano from relaxation. Because the most important thing in music is not in the notes.
In addition to regular lessons, I offer inspiring lesson packages. These packages consist of 5 reads with a specific theme. A few examples: learn to make a song, Beatles songs, play blues, improvise, learn to guide yourself, learn to support your child in his or her music lesson and seasonal songs. If you are interested in a different theme, that is of course also possible.

I graduated from the conservatory of Zwolle where I studied light / jazz music and classical piano.

I would like to invite you warmly to the versatile world of the piano.

Learn to understand the language of music!

We’ll work on the most important aspects of music theory and ear training which includes:

solfegio (sight-reading),
interval hearing and singing,
scales knowledge
note reading.

Singing “false” or otherwise, out of tune, is not only a matter of a vocal technique but very much your ability to hear, recognise and recreate tones and sounds.

By working on ear training you’ll improve your intonation and hearing abilities. All these are needed to sing in tune, improvise melodies, sing runs and riffs and harmonise melodies (create second voice) with ease.

Sight-reading will help you sing from notes which can prove helpful and useful when singing in a choir or working on a musical project where music sheets are in use.

Scales will help you in expanding your musicality and singing notes you would otherwise not find in the basic ABC of melodies. They open your ears to new sounds and unlock musical possibilities. They are helpful when wanting to create songs, interesting melodies and chords.

All these skills are compulsory for anyone wishing to enter higher music education. These lessons will prepare you for passing your theory exams as well as help you to become more understanding of musical rules.

The cello is the most beautiful instrument there is. In the lessons, attention is paid to technical challenges, as well as musical vision and development. From Bach's suites and romantic etudes to contemporary music, there is beautiful repertoire. Let's discover this together and see what suits you.

Teaching has been an extraordinary tool for my personal development as a vocalist. It’s fascinating to
observe how the posture and vocal challenges of my students can reveal certain aspects of their
personality. As a singer, your body is your instrument, and any physical or psychological issues can directly
affect your voice.
Through teaching, I have realized the profound impact that practicing singing has on my overall well being. It is not only helps me take care of my body but also enables me to feel confident and at ease when
standing in front of individuals or even a large audience without hiding behind an instrument. This sense
of comfort and confidence extends beyond the realm of singing and positively influences my personal
growth as a person.
My goal is to instill this mindset in my students. I believe it is more beneficial to approach singing not as a
tedious practice, but as a profound discipline that contributes to their overall well-being and adds value to
their everyday lives. When we view singing in this light, it becomes an uplifting factor that goes beyond
technical exercises and becomes a source of joy, personal growth, and empowerment.

Eyal has taught hundreds of students over the past 15 years, both guitar and piano next to music theory and composition. Besides his formal music education (a bachelor's in composition, a teaching degree from the music academy in Jerusalem, and a master's in composition from Codarts, Rotterdam), Eyal has acquired experience in a wide range of various musical styles, including Rock, Blues, Jazz, classical music, electronic music, and contemporary music, on which he bases his rich approach which can be adjusted to every student separately.

Solos, chords, improvisations, heavy distortion or acoustic guitar, playing at a party or jumping on stages, reading notes, or playing by ear. Maybe you know exactly what you want, and maybe you are not sure. In Eyal's view, the job of the teacher is to help you find that out, and guide you through your process.

Johann Sebastian Bach or John Lennon? Sergei Rachmaninoff or Freddie Mercury? Regina Spektor? Nina Simone? Maybe Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart? Complex harmonies or simple melodies? Classical pieces or modern tunes? The only right answer is what you find interesting.

As a musician my primary focus is jazz music but I also often play other styles like soul, Rnb and more.

As every person learns differently, my approach always depends on the student and what you want to get from the music and the guitar.

I always like to have a structured approach in my lessons, here are some subjects we can cover:
Building a repertoire: Blues, Pop, Rock, Country, Jazz, Rnb & soul
Guitar Techniques

I am a student at the Conservatory of Amsterdam for classical guitar. I also have a lot of experience with Jazz and Pop. My lessons are purely focused on the wishes and needs of the student. I adapt to them and guide the student to achieve his/her goals.

There are 2 parts we can work on: Technique and real pieces. As a guideline we can learn pieces that I can choose for the student (or if the student has a special request for a piece that is always welcome!). And if something doesn't work out well we can focus on the technique and improve it before we continue. That way it always stays educational and fun!

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions!
