HATCHING, PERFORMANCE & VOCAL HEALTH: Singing lessons and Vocal Coaching, Holistic approach (singing voice and speaking voice).

From 72 € /h

I dedicate over 20 years of experience as a singing teacher and vocal coach to helping you achieve your goals. Since 2005, I've been constantly exploring the voice and its mysteries to best support each individual in their uniqueness.

From scientifically supported vocal techniques (speaking voice and/or singing voice) to various artistic and creative aspects, including your vital energy and your vocal health, together we open up the range of possibilities to free your light, your inner strength, your vocal imprint.

SINGING VOICE:

Whether you want to sing for pleasure or to develop your technique professionally, I will guide you with enthusiasm and kindness towards achieving your vocal aspirations, adapting to your goals and moving towards what really moves you forward.

Knowledge about the voice and how it works has evolved over the years. Today, everything is accessible to anyone who wants to work on their voice using a variety of simple, fun, and effective techniques.

My tools to guide you:
- CVT (Complete Vocal Technique - DK)
- SLS (Speech Level Singing - USA)
- Lax Vox Therapy
- SOVT Exercises (Semi Occluded Vocal Tract)
- 25 years of professional experience

We can or will work on:
- The musical style of your choice: pop, rock, jazz, folk, country, gospel, mantras, musical comedy, rnb, rap, metal, French song, ... You choose which songs you want to move on.
- The essential pillars for healthy and optimal use of the voice: support, adequate breathing, twang, jaw relaxation.
- Vocal modes: Neutral, Overdrive, Curbing, Edge or more commonly: head voice, mixed voice, chest voice.
- Sound colors: dark vs. light
- Resonances, use of resonators
- Effects: distortion, grunt, growl, rattle, creaking, audible breath, vocal breaks, screams, vibrato, ornamentations, etc.
- Interpretation, reinterpretation
- Improvisation, intuitive singing
- The harmonies
- Help with English pronunciation
- Use and management of the microphone
- recordings
- casting and auditions preparation

SPEAKING VOICE:
Your voice, your way of communicating, your profession, your charisma, your message.

You are a coach, entrepreneur, actor, teacher, speaker, lawyer, sports coach, or looking for your vocal identity (feminization, timbre, power, impact, etc.).

Vocal technique will help you manage, modulate, love, and carry your voice and your message in a healthy and sustainable way on a daily basis and when speaking in public.

No more trembling, cracking, tiring voices.
No more not being heard and straining your voice. No more losing your voice...

To guide you towards optimizing your voice, I will use the same tools as those presented in the singing voice coaching description, adapting of course to your vocal wishes and needs.

The "permanent" modification of your spontaneous and natural speaking voice (so not just the one that is temporarily activated during controlled speaking) is entirely possible but requires daily investment and patience. I will guide you towards your true desired voice with all kindness.

I look forward to meeting you and supporting you in your development, your performance and your vocal health.

About Me

My name is Maud ;-)

Formerly very shy, I found in singing the opportunity to express myself freely, to be able to say things that I could not have said in real life, to be able to be on stage everything that I could not imagine being in real life, to escape, to blossom and to gain confidence and inner strength.

When I was offered the opportunity to give singing lessons in 2005, I didn't hesitate for a split second. Since then, I've had the chance to meet you - in music schools and in my private studio - and to share with you my passion and the technical knowledge I've worked on and studied to help you evolve and help you evolve.

Having had some big challenges to overcome myself (pitch, nasal singing, physical blockages and limiting beliefs) I know that with motivation, patience and work, we can achieve our goals.

I often say, "If I can do it, you can do it!"

I have never stopped learning about the voice, doing various training courses, taking singing lessons from various teachers and vocal coaches in order to improve myself and to always pass on more tools and solutions to you.

More recently, I have expanded this area of vocal and artistic knowledge by adding more holistic knowledge and tools. We are not just a voice; we are also everything that this voice conceals and expresses. The holistic exploration is exciting, and has only just begun...

I will continue to train and put all my heart into my support and coaching, in order to guide you towards your blossoming.

Voice technique: through vocalizations and other fun exercises, learn to use your body and your voice in an effective and healthy way.

Directory (or not): chosen by the student and the teacher. My preference goes to jazz and all its branches and roots (bossa, brazilian, blues, gospel, polyphony, ...) because it's for me the best training but I'm open and I sing myself (almost) every other styles ;-)

Improvisation: the best for the end :-) listening exercise, creativity, self-expression, voice and musicality. Through very progressive and clear exercises, we will explore (if the pupil desires) vocal improvisation.

As a vocal coach, I understand that it is important to develop a good vocal technique but also to develop self-confidence and mastery of oneself in order to be able to deliver the best of oneself in any situation.

I deal with students of all levels and ages. I explore with them different musical fields according to their desires and affinities. My classes are a mix of technique, improvisation and practice. I really like the practice to include an element of interactivity with my students and so that they are able to come out of my lessons with mastered pieces, in their own way. Indeed, I also like to take the time to research with my students their own inner voices and talents so that they really find themselves artistically speaking; a kind of musical inner journey.

So, if you are looking to develop your vocal and musical abilities as well as develop your own artistic voice, do not hesitate to contact me!

Our teacher using, if necessary, an electro-acoustic guitar to better accompany your voice and guide some of its subtleties, the teaching philosophy is adapted to each level, according to the pace of work and motivation.

Program :
- musical techniques: theory (examples: support, modes, colors, effects such as vibrato, etc.) automatically followed, for each of the exercises, by practice (examples: exercises focusing on accuracy, sound production, "mountains Russian ", time, note hold, diction, vowels etc.)
- work on breathing and breathing management
- body awareness
- stability
- resonance
- improvisation / free expression
- improved vocal comfort
- varied repertoire (adapting to your preference)
- well-being by the vibration of the voice
- personal or artistic development - accuracy, note keeping and precision - vocal modes including timbre
- volumes: softness and power - sound colors: from dark to light - vocal effects, range requirements - nuances: volumes, mimics, attitudes, sound quality - exploration of musical styles (folk, pop, classical, blues, rock, song, World music ...)
- improvisation, effects and vocal games, harmonies
-interpretation: work on emotions, body language, stage presence.

Objective: acquire a solid vocal technique allowing you to sing with accuracy, ease and expressiveness.

Musical learning meanwhile, will develop your ability to listen and reproduce music, your sense of rhythm, your expressiveness, your creativity and musicality as well as reading sheet music.

The work is focused on multidisciplinarity: voice, vocal health, music and bodily expressiveness, with an emphasis on the acquisition of an optimal vocal placement, on stress management in public and on interpretation.

This progressive and tailor-made method aims to develop your voice:
-Breathing techniques
-Vocalises and technical exercises adapted to needs;
- Repertoire work
- Accompaniment for studio recording and scenic performance
-dynamic exploration, diversification and release of one's voice while having fun and going beyond one's limits.

TEACHER / TRAINER

Trained in Grandes Ecoles in France and the United States (Ivy League University), our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in North America and Europe, in the field, in international establishments renowned, and oriented on one axis: effective training with pedagogy and meticulous methodology as the watchwords.

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.

Do you want to know your vocal range? Learn how to sing higher notes without hurting your voice? Learn how to hit the passing notes? Achieve a powerful yet agile voice?
My name is Matteo Schifanoia, I am a songwriter, pop and jazz singer, and vocal coach with 20 years of experience in music. I offer singing lessons for all levels. My lessons focus on developing body, muscle, and vocal awareness, which helps us perceive and consider our bodies as musical instruments.
My teaching method is the result of the synthesis of my experience as a singer and the many and diverse study paths followed. The lesson is structured in two parts: the first half devoted to vocal technique, the second half to the musical repertoire and learning the musical language (jazz or pop or other genre).

The vocal technique that I propose is a basic technique for all types of modern singing: from postural education to the care of breathing, from the use of abdominal muscles, to the emission of air to the resonance cavities. We will work on the sound, on the extension of the voice, on the high and low notes, on the passage of register, on the control, on the power and agility.
From a repertoire perspective, the lessons will be tailored to the student's needs and interests, with an emphasis on proper stage presence and posture. I can prepare students for conservatory entrance exams and all types of auditions. If the student wishes, I can also provide instruction in harmony and music reading.

Courses and Training:

Graduated in Musicology, my specialization in Singing at the IMEP (Conservatory of Namur) and in accompanying music on the accordion led me after my studies to give singing lessons in a music school (Cap sur le Music in Kraainem), as well as musical awakening in different schools, via Les Jeunesses Musicales.
Being also an ethnomusicologist, I like to work with repertoires from other horizons, both singing and accordion.
Currently working part-time at Outhere Music (production and distribution house of classical and jazz music), I have the chance to discover on a daily basis a large quantity of various repertoires, likely here to be the subject of discoveries for the student, depending on their different future artistic aspirations.
Passionate about CVT (complete vocal technique) since 2021 and trained in postural and psycho-behavioural muscle chains (GDS method), my goal is to get the student to explore his vocal universe as broadly as possible, while increasing his body awareness with each lesson.

Approach & repertoire:

I attach great importance to body awareness, presence and movement, as well as the overall well-being of the student. Having also followed a training in Mindfulness, I like to mix a therapeutic approach with the artistic work accomplished with the student.
Starting from the student's musical desires and aspirations is also essential for me. I therefore aim for personalized support that respects its own achievement objectives.
My methodology aims at learning the technique through play and body movement, both for singing lessons and musical awakening.
No prerequisite in music is necessary (neither music theory nor other).

Musical Awakening for children (individual or semi-collective – from 1 to 6-7 years old):

With young children, I try to multiply awakening approaches using senses other than just hearing, both by learning gesture songs and rhythmic activities. The activities of dance or development of the ear by listening are of course omnipresent. I work on psychomotricity and seek to discover new instruments, as well as the different repertoires which are connected to them.
I work on several levels (passive and active) and different scales of difficulty according to ages and possible interactions in small groups, in order to anchor learning and awakening over time.
Breath work is also on the program.
