Singing lessons in Utrecht Zuilen, all levels welcome
You can contact me to learn classical singing technique. I have a bachelor's and master's degree in classical singing and 20 years of stage experience. In recent years, I have also received further training in singing techniques for pop songs and musical theatre songs. I followed the CVT basic course and the Tools for Teachers training at Cordula Klein Goldewijk. It was very enjoyable to me and valuable additional knowledge to learn more about these techniques, and about the differences and similarities with classical singing technique. So I can teach in both styles, but I have far more performing experience in classical singing and opera.
I can help you with:
- learning good breathing technique/breath support
- equalizing your voice (the 'voice break')
- choosing the right repertoire
- learning to use your natural acoustic optimally
- relaxation of the mouth and throat area
- twang
- stage presentation
- basic level ear training
- basic level of reading music
Experience is not necessary, but being open to learn is!

About Me
As a child I already loved music, and singing in particular. When I was 14 I joined the school choir, and I was allowed to sing a solo now and then, I loved that! When I was 15, I started taking singing lessons with Marjanne Kweksilber. I learned the classical technique from her, but I also sometimes sang jazz or pop songs at school performances. After one of these performances I decided that I wanted to really go for singing and I wanted to become a professional singer. And so I did! I went to study voice at the conservatory. I obtained my bachelor’s degree in classical singing at the Rotterdam Conservatory (Codarts) in 2005 and my master’s degree in Vocal Performance at the Royal Academy of Music in London (UK) in 2010. After completing my bachelor’s degree, I immediately started working at a music school, and I never stopped teaching after that. I was building a career as a performer, but next to this I have always found it fantastic to keep helping others discover and experience their voice and all its possibilities. Shortly after my return to the Netherlands, I got a very nice opportunity: in 2011/2012 I was associated with the TV program De tiende van Tijl as a singing coach. Because of my classical background, I was asked to coach well known Dutch artists for this program in performing a classical song or opera aria on the show. I coached Karin Bloemen, Ellen ten Damme, Jamai, Sara Kroos, Paul de Leeuw and Lieke van Lexmond, among others. This has led to a wonderful and valuable exchange between Karin Bloemen and me.So I had a classical education, but later I also delved into other styles, such as pop, jazz and musical. Because there is a great demand for singing lessons in styles other than classical, I have followed additional training courses with Cordula Klein Goldewijk in the field of Complete Vocal Technique (CVT). In 2017 I followed the Basic CVT Singing course and the Tools for Teachers – Pedagogy & Singing Technique course with her.
When teaching, I adapt to the individual needs of each student. Everyone is different and therefore requires their own approach. First and foremost, I want my students to enjoy singing! We achieve this together by developing a healthy technique, a solid stage presence and thereby building self-confidence. Often you are capable of a lot more than you think! I have had a classical education, so that is my specialty, but I can also help you to learn to sing in other styles, such as pop and musical. Level or age doesn’t matter to me. I teach total beginners, but also guide singers who are preparing for auditions or entrance exams for conservatoire or music college.

Singing lessons in various styles & beginner music theory lessons
Singing lessons for all levels and age. For beginners, together we can discover the range of your voice and build the breathing and singing technique. At the same time we will work on music theory, ear training and how to read a score. For mature singers, we can delve into the singing technique and interpretation and add pieces in your repertoire. The lessons are provided both online and in person and can be held in English or Greek. I also speak some Italian and German.
About me
I have been playing the piano for 15 years. I have studied Classical Singing in the Municipal Conservatory of Kalamata (Greece) and I have followed a two-year Early Music Programme in Athens Conservatoire. At the same time I studied Music Theory (Harmony) at the Greek National Conservatoire from which I gained my Harmony degree.
In addition, I have a Bachelor in Early Childhood Education at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.
Here in The Netherlands, I finished my masters at the Utrechts Conservatorium and worked as a singer at the NKK NXT 2022-2023.
I have participated in Operas (“Julius Cesar”- 2015 in Athens Concert Hall and “Alcina”-2019 in Odeon of Herodes Atticus) as a member of a vocal ensemble and I have also performed as a soloist in many concerts. Some of the stages I have performed are: Concertgebouw Amsterdam, TivoliVredenburg, Schouwburg Concertzaal Tilburg, Athens Concert Hall, Greek National Opera and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus.

Singing lessons with an italian lyric-coloratura soprano. From opera to modern and pop. (Masters degree in singing with honours, cum Laude)
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!

Opera Singing / Kids Vocality: pro Italian Opera Singer with decades of experience on stage
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 trial 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!
Voice Lessons for Young/Inexperienced Singers - Classically Focused
These lessons are for young and/or inexperienced singers. My lesson plans are tailored towards students' individual goals. For some, this may be learning and embodying an audition song for their school's upcoming theater performance, and for others voice lessons are a first step towards singing healthily in their church choir. In any case, I focus on correcting and building core skills necessary to singing one's best while encouraging and fostering creativity, accountability, and motivation.
If considered for a long-term journey towards singing, I will focus particularly on classical techniques to build steady breath control, good posture, and proper vowel and consonant formation. Along with providing repertoire, if the student is ready and wants, there will be opportunities for vocal performance in the Santa Cruz area. I will encourage audio recordings in all lessons to help with future preparations. I will be assigning some homework after every lesson, likely a combination of vocalization exercises, dedicated sheet music practice, and theory homework (if needed).
*My first lesson will involve getting to know the student, their goals, and some vocalization to assess vocal level. For singers with minimal/no prior foundational music theory knowledge, I may recommend time from lessons (15-30 minutes) being allocated solely towards foundational music theory learning.

Oud and oriental Arabic singing lessons with an experienced teacher
Experienced teacher of Oud and oriental Arabic singing for over 11 years, I am Lebanese and currently residing in Germany. I studied for 8 years at the Lebanese National Conservatory. I taught at the Casa Beethoven Academy in Lebanon and gave private lessons. In addition, I was conductor of the Loubnan Assalam oriental orchestra for over 5 years.
My recommendation for learning the Oud is to start with the study of notes and musical notation before tackling pieces. Although some students prefer to play songs directly, understanding the basics of musical notation allows for faster progress in the long run. With determination and hard work, significant progress can be made in a year, allowing one to play simple melodies.
Please feel free to leave me a message, I will reply as soon as possible.

PLACES, FEES
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.
