Discover The Potential of Your Singing Voice (Vocal Technique)

Von 63.34 $ /Std

Hi! I am Maria and I love to sing and make to songs :)

I am a professional jazz singer with over 13 years of experience and I have been a music teacher for over 8 years in several Universities and Colleges in Colombia.

The fundamentals I will teach you are based on: posture, breathing, warm-ups, intuitive singing, a repertoire of your choosing (if you have songs written by yourself we can also work with them!), and ear training (as it is a fundamental skill to develop your musicianship). The course emphasizes the connection and awareness of your body as the root of a healthy vocal practice, including breathing and stretching Yoga exercises.

We will advance according to your vocal experience and your learning process as each voice and background is quite different, everyone is welcome!!

Come along and start/continue developing the potential of your singing voice!

I am a professional singer, singing teacher, and vocal coach with an extensive academic background in singing. I studied singing and also singing pedagogy at the University of Music in Viena and I have more than 20 years of professional experience in teaching and on stage. As a vocal coach, I can help you to prepare performances, recordings, and for auditions.

Knowledge about the vocal organs and their interaction with the breath helps us to train our voices effectively, to create sound consciously, and to advance in our singing, while respecting vocal health, and the uniqueness, range, and capacities of each individual voice.

In our classes together, you will acquire this knowledge and develop your singing through specific, individually tailored, one-on-one vocal training, breath support, and ear training. You will learn to expand the vocal register, volume and tone, vocal dynamics and vocal agility, and increase your repertoire, as well as working on interpretation, expressiveness, and style.

Singing lessons are individually tailored to suit you, your objectives, and your voice. They are offered via Skype, from the comfort of your home and according to your own schedule.

Please let me know your needs and availability and we can make a lesson.

Have you always dreamed:

of singing with freedom and resonance, with ease and flexibility?
of belting out your favourite rock ballad and spellbinding the crowd?
of having a huge range and expressive power that makes people’s jaws drop?

I can help you free your voice and find your true sound through my holistic teaching approach.

I will help you get back in touch with your breath and the freedom you once felt in your voice as a child.

I will help with any relaxation, placement, strain issues you may have and extend your range and give you resonance and power.

If you have any health issues that may affect your voice I can give you advice and guidance, special exercises , yoga routines etc - having suffered myself from GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease) and a resulting small vocal node in the past, and having dealt with various health issues - despite which I have managed to still work as a singer!

I can teach you to:

- Improvise and write songs.
- Develop your expression.
- Develop your technique without losing your own unique sound.
- Extend your range to at least 3 octaves (sometimes even 4!)
- Breath control and control of your entire range.
- Sing in a variety of techniques and styles- become a versatile singer!
- Basic guitar/keyboard skills if requested.
- Music Theory lessons upon request.

I have an acute ear for detail and upon our first session and hearing you we will be able to discuss your voice and how to move forward.

Singing and making music are a lot of fun, but not the easiest thing... no matter which level you're at. For this, one needs energy, concentration and, above all, patience. But who succeeds in making progress finds that it's the best feeling ever to make music while using you best potential. That's what I can help with.

You sing all the time, but you want to improve your technique? Or you're a complete beginner and you want to get a taste of this intriguing music world? You're already singing in a band but you feel like your voice is getting tired easily, or that you need some tricks for finding notes? Then I can definitely help you, no matter your age or your style of music. My goal with this course is that you find your hobby easier and even more fun than it is already.

I'm currently finishing my master's degree in opera singing at the MUK and I use my knowledge to sing pop, jazz, funk... and so on, accompanied by my guitar/keyboard. I'm looking forward to getting to know you!

My course is aimed at anyone who wants to learn to sing.
This can be classical, jazz or pop singing.

I teach online. I have students from all over the world - USA, India, Indonesia, Mexico, China, Germany, Romania, Italy, Switzerland etc.

Beginners, intermediate and professional singers who have technical difficulties will feel themselves comfortable during my lessons.

For me, it is important that after each singing lesson the student would feel he has made a little progress.
I work with vocal exercises, correct and healthy breathing technique and posture for the first 20-30 minutes and then we move to the musical pieces - songs or arias.

Repertoire will be chosen together with the student, paying a special attention to the sustainability and development of his/her voice.

I put a special emphasis on expanding the voice range and interpretation of every piece.

With over 8 years of teaching experience and a diverse international education — from Kyiv music academies to the State University of Music and Performing Arts in Stuttgart — I bring both depth and variety to my teaching. I have worked as a piano and voice teacher in private art schools in Ukraine as well as in music schools in Germany, guiding more than 200 students of different ages and levels.
