Italian and French diction for opera singers.

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 591.76 CNY /h

Understanding what you sing is fundamental if you want to consider an operatic career. We are musicians-singers who carry the music but also a text.
Each language has its specific saying, the exact pronunciation of vowels, diphthongs and consonants to which is added the exact way of modifying these vowels and diphthongs at the different levels of the tessitura. A good pronunciation is also the vector of a good and healthy vocal emission. Between two excellent singers, a casting director will prefer the one with perfect diction.
For 20 years I taught French diction for singers at the G.Verdi Conservatory in Milan. Currently, I teach Italian diction for singers at the Ecole Normale de Musique A. Cortot in Paris. I currently live in Luxembourg and I can help you if you need to prepare an opera role or any other repertoire in Italian or French.
This work can be done by webcam with advanced singers.

My name is Carmen and I am an opera singer. I studied at the PI Chaykovsky Conservatory in Moscow and the famous Santa Cecilia Conservatory in Rome. I attended many masterclasses in Russia, Italy and Austria with Edda Moser, Renata Scotto, Nino Machaidze etc. I was also a soloist in the Vatican Choir.

For several years, I have been working as a singing teacher in Brussels. I offer courses in English, French, Russian and Italian. I teach children from 6 years old (beginners or more experienced). I offer a wide variety of breathing and singing techniques.

Musically,

Maria

Hello! I am a professional opera singer, soprano, and current soloist at the Cologne Opera (Germany) bringing real-stage experience, performance psychology, and high-level technical discipline into every lesson. My background includes a Master of Music in Opera (Distinction) from the Dutch National Opera Academy in Amsterdam, a Master of Music in Vocal Performance (Distinction) from the Royal College of Music in London, and a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Pedagogy from the Moscow University of the Humanities. The combination of elite performance training and 8 years of teaching experience allow me to train my students at the highest standard and achieve measurable progress and great results.

I work with dedicated singers at every stage of development, from complete beginners to professionals. I can successfully prepare you for auditions and exams, build a reliable vocal technique and stamina, expand range and develop musicality and understanding of various repertoire demands. Together we can work on diverse repertoire - from opera and oratorio arias to Lieder and music theater depending on your needs and preferences.

If you’re serious about developing your voice with professional-level guidance - I am very excited to see you in my class!

My classes are different depending on your level and age.

With children from 7 to 12, we start by doing easy vocalization and start training the ear with intonation, we then have fun singing your favorite songs.

With teenagers, I also start with some vocalization, a little more elaborate. Depending on the student's capabilities, we start establishing a comfortable range for them and then proceed to singing.

For my older students ideally, I divide our lesson into 2 sections. We work on respiration and how the diaphragm works. We do scales and arpeggios and work on intonation. We then proceed to singing and putting into practice our technique. Some students might need more technique before they actually sing, I like to take things slowly and make sure the student feels confident and comfortable singing.

I teach children, teenagers, and adults, from beginners to more advanced. Classical training enables you to sing in any kind of way, so don’t hesitate and let’s sing!

Hello!

I’m Elena, I’m Italian and I’m an opera singer, currently actively performing in the contemporary field :)
On top of my artistic career, which is now 20+ years old, I have 10 years of solid everyday experience in the musical teaching field, with particular regards for online teaching.
My specialties are: teaching opera voice and kids’ vocality. For both of these, any level, even absolute beginner is 100% welcome!

I’ve been training children and teens ever since I graduated from my position at La Scala children choir at 18 years old. I love working with kids, and it warms my heart to think of how many little faces I have already had the privilege of meeting thanks to this career. I have helped so many access to the children choirs of their respective cities, and with so many many others I have simply participated in their musical learning journey, which makes me equally proud and happy.

Teaching adults is a completely different matter, of course, but it’s probably even more thrilling to me because it allows me to spend the day navigating the fascinating routes of lyrical singing technique. I know how opera studies can be confusing - to say the least; I try my best to represent a safe place for anybody who wants to explore this ancient form of art, as well as to clarify its key points and guide my students to building a correct repertoire.

I give lessons for any kind of purpose:
- learning music
- improving musicality
- preparing an audition
- finding our own voice
- overcoming insecurity

Everybody is different, so everybody has their own path to go through; I cater my lessons to the pupil’s needs, and even if the method is always classical, I make sure that the hour of lesson is a fun moment as well as a learning experience.
Music is life and life is fun!

If what you have read interests you, I’m here to answer all your questions, so don’t be afraid: write me and I’ll see how I can help you!

During the lesson, we will take the time to get to know each other better, assess levels and goals, and start to work on them already.

I can’t wait to meet you!

The most important thing during my lessons is to help the student find a healthy and comfortable way of singing!
During the first part of the lesson, we will focus on Technique and breathing, while during the second part of the lesson we will focus on the repertoire chosen together with the student, applying the aspect of the technique that we worked on previously in the lesson.

My goal is to make my students sing with clear intonation, good support , with good pronunciation etc. I have an experience of working with the children also.
I give lessons for any kind of purpose:

- improving musicality
- preparing an audition
- finding our own voice
- overcoming insecurity
I can help you to train your ear, how to pronunce in Italian, German, Russian, French, English.
For the children I have an exceptional program, because I have to be very careful for them.

Hi!
I'm Leila, a French-Austrian opera singer, trained in France and Germany.
In my singing lessons, I focus on developing a healthy, sustainable technique, while helping students discover untapped potential and find fulfillment in singing. My approach is based on listening, physical awareness and flexibility, allowing the technique to develop organically and understanding what works best for each person individually.

As we work on pieces, I also focus on the musical aspects of singing such as intonation and phrasing, as well as the artistic dimension: expression, interpretation, language, and stylistic awareness.
Lessons take place in a comfortable, supportive atmosphere where curiosity and enjoyment are encouraged.
The goal is to help you get to know your own instrument more deeply, develop confidence, and ultimately find the greatest pleasure and freedom in singing.

My expertise as an trained French-Austrian opera singer, is in the opera repertoire going from baroque to modern, as well as german Lied, French songs, and classical musicals.

I am French, bord in London and my father is Austrian, so I'm comfortable teaching in all 3 languages.
I work with beginners as well as more advanced students.

Don't hesitate to write me if you're interested in taking lessons!

Each session is personalized and lasts between 45 and 60 minutes, depending on the student’s goals and needs.
The core of every lesson focuses on healthy vocal technique, including breath support, vocal placement, resonance, range development, and vocalises. We also apply the work to a song of your choice.
For students who would like to strengthen their musical foundation, we can include additional solfege, pitch training, and basic music reading within a 60-minute session.
Lessons are suitable for beginners and developing singers who want to build confidence, improve vocal control, and develop a strong, healthy voice in a supportive and encouraging environment.
