Singing lessons in Yverdon: vocal technique and interpretation – All repertoires – Specialization in early music
course price icon
From 96 Fr /h
arrow icon
• Do you like to sing, do you want to tame the possibilities of your voice?

• Are you part of a choir and would like to gain vocal comfort and autonomy?

• Do you need coaching to work on your stage presence, your diction, your interpretation?

• Do you want to discover the vast vocal repertoire of early music?

I would like to help you move forward on the long and mysterious path of the voice. Let's meet to learn together around this fascinating and multifaceted instrument, both the most universal and the most intimate.


MY VISION OF TEACHING

Trained as an opera singer, I have been teaching students of all ages and levels since 2015, individually or in small groups.
I know the classical repertoire well, and also the so-called "old" music.
But I'm interested in all styles: musical, variety, traditional...

For me, teaching singing is:
• stand next to the student, look with him/her to see what the obstacle is, and look for solutions together to overcome it.
• always show kindness, empathy, patience, non-judgment. I ensure that these values are present in every lesson I give.


COURSE DESCRIPTION

Audience: adults, teenagers from around 13 years old.
(For younger children, you can contact me to discuss it).

Course of a typical lesson:
• Part 1: warm-up and technical exercises (posture, breathing, resonances, phrasing, etc.)
• 2nd part: work "in context" on a piece (recovery of technical elements, diction of the text, interpretation)

Individual lessons or in small groups (2 to 4 people).
If you have any special requests, please let me know.

If you don't know how to read music (this is the case for a number of my students): that's not a problem! There are plenty of ways to learn and progress.


MY MUSICAL CURRICULUM

My background is quite eclectic: after a university course in art history and archeology in France, I studied at the Haute École de Musique de Genève-Neuchâtel where I obtained a Master's degree in Concert in lyrical singing. .

I acquired, during my studies and my professional activity, a lot of experience of choral practice, and I was able to attend many choir conducting classes.

Finally, I had the opportunity to specialize in early music: Gregorian chant, medieval music, Renaissance polyphonies, 17th and 18th century baroque music, ornamentation, notation, theoretical treatises, facsimile reading...

In summary, I like things that are off the beaten track!

About Me
Florence, soprano singer

Florence begins music from childhood. Enrolled in the music school of her hometown, she plays the guitar, the cello and sings enthusiastically in the children's choir. At the age of fifteen, she accidentally discovered opera singing, which would become her true instrument.

After university studies in archeology, Florence decided to devote herself professionally to the practice of music. She joined the Haute École de Musique de Genève-Neuchâtel where she obtained a Bachelor's degree and then a Master's degree in opera singing in 2016 in the class of Jeanne Roth.
During her studies, Florence also sang in Celso Antunes' choral conducting class between 2011 and 2018, which shed new light on voice pedagogy and choir practice. Finally, she assiduously frequents the Center for Ancient Music in Geneva: among others, she benefits from the advice of Gabriel Garrido and Leonardo García Alarcón for the interpretation of baroque music.

She performs in concert, as a soloist or in choral formation, within various ensembles in French-speaking Switzerland and in France (La Sestina, L'Horizon Chimère, Novum Castellum, Le Ridotto, Alkymia...). She notably sings polyphonies of the Renaissance, baroque music, the choral repertoire of the 20th century, and oratorio.
On stage, Florence also likes eclecticism: she plays the role of Musica in Claudio Monteverdi's Orfeo, or the character of Lucy in the musical show "Dracula, drinker of sounds".

Since 2015, Florence has been teaching singing in various contexts. In addition to individual lessons, she also supervises group work sessions for several vocal ensembles in the Lake Geneva region (Geneva, Cossonay, Le Sentier) and develops her activities as a choir director. Combining versatility, pedagogy and artistic sense, choral direction is a logical evolution of her career as a musician.

My classes are for any age and any level!

I do important work on breathing and posture (essential aspects for accessing one's full vocal potential) with the "MDH Respiratory Coordination"* method, which was a revelation for me when I was able to see the rapid changes on my body and my voice. I have the pleasure of mixing this technique into my lessons :)

Since these are private lessons, I adapt to everyone's demand. We can go together to discover your voice, work the vocal technique with specific exercises or through songs of your choice, explore the letting go, work the interpretation, the scenic expression, and many other things .

My goal is to discover and reinforce what is present in the student, while keeping its authenticity. Sweetness, non-judgment, respect, exploration! If you want to do this way with me, do not hesitate to contact me.

*“MDH Respiratory Coordination”
The work of this method is focused on reducing muscle tension, in order to access its full respiratory capacity. This influences not only the functional state of the respiratory system, but also the voice and the person in itself.

COURSE
• Certificate of “MDH Respiratory Coordination”*.
• Training of actors with Jack Waltzer, Paris.
• Bachelor of Arts in Creative Musicianship (in arrangement, singing, film music, composition and performance) at the British & Irish Institute of Modern Music (BIMM), London.
• Diploma in Popular Performance Music (singing and performance), BIMM, London.
• Co-founder and co-manager of the folk singer-songwriter duo Marzella, created in 2009. Instruments: guitar, voice and keyboard. Concerts in Switzerland and Europe. Release of an album in 2015, then a 4-track EP, "Seasons of Life", in May 2019.

HOLISTIC SINGING TEACHING - THE VOICE LINKED TO SELF
choice of songs and vocal development in accordance with chosen formula, objectives and needs
Your voice, spoken and sung, echoes your identity - Your voice is you. Singing is therefore a very intimate, physical, sensual, emotional act, courageous in self-expression and openness to others. My goal is for you to feel sovereign in your voice, in the broadest sense. Together we are therefore going to meet her, explore what could restrain her and find the strategies to allow her to develop and you with, naturally and freely in the joy of singing.

You will therefore have access at all times to your soundtracks and your courses, in order to review tips, exercises, tools and theory as if you were taking several lessons per week. You will become the actor of your progress which will be fast and solid, Your singing skills and your repertoire will inevitably grow along with your pleasure of singing and your confidence.

CROSS-GENRE TEACHING - BECAUSE YOUR VOICE IS AT THE CROSS-GENDER OF ALL MUSIC
A cross-genre teaching promotes a generic and exhaustive application of the principles of vocal anatomy, physiology and acoustics, unlike traditional teaching, whose cleavages between the specificities of so-called classical genres - choral, lyrical or operatic singing - and modern - pop, rock, jazz, musicals etc ... limit the field of exploration.

Your voice is a unique and intelligent instrument, capable of producing a multitude of qualities of sounds and timbres, of evolving according to your range and of coordinating complex respiratory and laryngeal muscular work.

Your voice remains unique, however. She has found a more or less comfortable genre of predilection, in accordance with your anatomy, your family, musical and linguistic culture. A cross-gender education will allow you to use laryngeal, acoustic and respiratory mechanisms specific to one gender or another, in order to -

develop your natural palette

find out what kind of music your instrument flourishes best in

explore various vocal qualities, laryngeal and acoustic balances and stylistic effects to serve above all the song you are working on

dare other forms of singing such as - Musical, Pop, Rock or Jazz, Classical or Opera

PHYSIOLOGICAL AND ACOUSTIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE VOICE
Learn to master the tools of healthy and comfortable vocal production. With a regular practice of exercises based on the latest research in performance psychology, physiological and acoustic sciences of the voice and in respiratory coordination, you will know-

eliminate breaks in your voice

playing with your larynx, vocal cords, vocal tract, and articulators

improve your stamina and vocal health

effectively manage your breath

sing with more power without ruining your vocal cords

increase your range

I am a professional singer with more than 10 years of vocal training and performance experience. I will help you to explore and develop your own voice and give you proper knowledge of your instrument.
I am in love with music since my childhood and started learning the piano and violin at the age of 7. Since singing has always been my main passion, I started taking classical singing lessons at the age of 12 and contemporary singing a few years later. After finishing my high school education, I decided to move to London to get a wider perspective, where I started writing and realising my own songs and where I got to play in many venues such as The O2 Islington, 229 Venue, the Blues Kitchen among others with my full band. I also participated in some singing contests, such as Britain Does Variety and Open Mic UK, becoming a Grand Finalist on both shows. All this allowed me to earn stage presence, experience and to improve my skills as a songwriter, performer, bandleader and music arranger. In 2016, I started my education at BIMM, where I graduated from a BETC Diploma on Popular Music Performance (Vocals) and a BMus (Hons) Degree on Popular Music Performance (Vocals). My passion for music and psychology led me to do my final degree dissertation on the link between creativity and mental health, which opened my curiosity about music and vocal therapy, A subject I have been exploring and I like to apply on my lessons.
I've been teaching contemporary singing since 2016.
I'm passionate about taking care of my students' vocal health. Applying mindfulness and music therapy techniques, as well as contemporary techniques such as The Speech Level Technique, Brett Manning's Singing Success Technique or The complete Vocal Technique that allows me to give them all necessary insight into healthy singing techniques and body and mind awareness.
I normally emphasise good technique, interpretation skills and improvisation to give you the tools to find your own sound.
In lessons, we will focus on learning and mastering the songs you are interested in and I will plan the lessons according to the needs of each student. I like encouraging students to explore different contemporary genres such as pop, rock, R&B, soul, but also different styles such as jazz, world or classical music.
I also offer music theory lessons for the same price, if you are interested in improving your musicianship. I am happy to incorporate a bit of theory (or as much as you like!) in the singing lesson plan.
