Fundamental Thought: ANYONE CAN LEARN TO SING! It's important to know this! The singing voice is part of our human capabilities, it's just not taught in our culture, but EVERYONE can learn! FOR WHOM: This course is for anyone who wants to learn to sing, speak in public, or improve their speaking voice. Children, teenagers, and adults alike, there's no age limit to start learning ;) Whether you are a complete beginner (and wish to develop a healthy and solid foundation) or an intermediate (to continue to evolve and develop your technique) this is the right place for you and I would be delighted to accompany you on this exciting journey towards the singing voice! MINDSET: - First of all, we always work with gentleness, kindness and joy ; ) Singing is a very intimate act, which puts us in a form of vulnerability, so it is essential to work with confidence to feel free to experiment, to make mistakes and to evolve healthily. The goal is to develop technically and artistically, at your own pace, and with joy! - It's important to be kind to yourself: learning vocal technique can take time; it requires patience, perseverance, and confidence to see results ;) POSITIONING: My teaching method is simple: find what works for you, in relation to your goals and what challenges you. I constantly adapt my approach and exercises to the student I have in front of me. We always start from what the body can do (the spoken voice) to take it towards the singing voice. We never work by force or against the body's natural processes: we always strive for a healthy vocal technique, free from tension and pain ;) PROCEDURE: During the first lesson, we will start by taking stock of the situation, seeing what is already in place and what needs to be worked on. Afterwards : - Vocal preparation (warm-up), - Technical exercises (to progress towards the defined objectives), - Work on the song of your choice (to put it into practice). PIANO (Accompaniment): For those who wish, I also offer lessons on piano accompaniment for singing. You'll discover the basics of piano and chords (international notation, so no music theory) so you can (eventually) accompany yourself on any song in the world just by reading a chord chart! And that's pretty cool, isn't it? ;) If you have any questions about the course, the teaching methods, or anything else, feel free to send me a message ;) Looking forward to working together! Axel
