Classical Vocal Technique (Bel canto method) Private Lessons

Von 91.34 Fr /Std

In our lessons, we work to strengthen and create flexibility in areas of the voice that need improvement. Vocal registration, breathing/support, vowel formation, postural alignment, and dynamic control are the major focus of the technical work. My teaching is rooted in the Bel Canto technique, and I incorporate other techniques such as Speech Level Singing (SLS), Alexander technique, yoga, and mindfulness practices. I believe in constant education as a teacher, and am always seeking ways to add value to my students.

Singing is a whole body & mind activity. I believe that in order to sing at our highest level, we must address all aspects of our instrument, which includes not only our voices, but our physical, energetic, and psychological state. It is impossible to train the voice separate from the whole, and with improved functioning of each area, voices flourish and expand.

Private voice lessons are a commitment to yourself and your goals. When you invest in yourself and your singing, other areas of your life improve symbiotically in response to the awareness you gain. As your technique and performance improve, possibilities expand for your life and career. I truly believe that by changing your voice, you can change your life!

As your teacher, I will support you on your path to vocal mastery by helping you build the necessary technical skills. I will help you remove old technical habits and thought processes that can block your progress. Often, I will guide you away from your comfort zone and challenge your beliefs about your own voice. This may involve making sounds that are "ugly" or difficult. It takes this kind of work to retrain the body's habitual patterns. I ask for an open mind and commitment to process.

It is an honor to take this vocal journey with you, and I so look forward to being your guide!

Über mich

"I love helping my students grow and overcome vocal and mindset challenges.
Seeing them take their voices and careers to the next level is what I am passionate about."

I help singers realize their complete vocal potential through holistic and customized training of the voice, body and mind.

Along with my career as an opera singer, I have been teaching private voice for over 15 years, which I began while completing my Bachelor of Music in Voice Performance at Westminster Choir college. Afterwards, I completed my Graduate degree in Opera Performance at The University of Texas in Austin. ("Hook 'em Horns")

My students have received many honors including final selections for NBC's The Voice, Miss America pageants, classical voice competitions, and artistic scholarships for conservatories and universities.

Additionally, they regularly perform leading roles in Musical Theater and Opera, both in regional companies and educational institutions. They can be heard as solo artists or in bands throughout the USA, ranging from Pop to Rockabilly, on stages and with album releases.

As an opera singer, I have performed with companies such as Opera Orlando, Opera Naples, National Moravian-Silesian Theater, Annapolis Opera, Wichita Grand Opera, Gulfshore Opera, Little Opera Theatre of New York, and Tri-Cities Opera. Major roles include Marietta (Die tote Stadt), Madama Butterfly, Rosalinde (Die Fledermaus), Donna Elvira/Anna (Don Giovanni, Violetta (La Traviata), Fiordiligi (Cosí fan tutte), Susannah, Antonia (Les contes d'Hoffmann), and Suor Angelica.

I have won a few competitions, including The Jenny Lind Competition, Connecticut Concert Opera Competition, The Marcella Kochanska Sembrich Competition, and 5 Towns Music and Art Foundation Competition. Additionally, I was 2nd prize winner of the Kosciuszko Foundation Competition and the National Federation of Music Clubs Biennial Young Artist Awards, 3rd prize winner of the New Jersey State Opera Competition, as well as a grant recipient from CareerBridges Foundation.

I currently live in Bratislava, Slovakia with my fiance who is a Slovak conductor, and I miss my dog, Fifi, who is keeping my Dad company in Florida.

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.

Singers like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Frank Sinatra have left an indelible mark on American popular music through their jazz vocal stylings, fusing a conversational delivery with rhythmic and melodic improvisation. This course is tailored for each student to teach the unique characteristics of jazz singing and how to apply these characteristics to create your own sound. You will learn jazz phrasing, how to integrate good technique into jazz song styles, and how to sing with a number of time feels and grooves.

The course focuses on jazz vocal technique and delivery, including use of vocal inflections, dynamics, articulation, and interpretation, and how to improvise through rhythmic and melodic phrasing. The course then will go deeper into jazz improvisation expanding the musical vocabulary of scat studying syllabels, rhythm, and melodic ideas.

In this course we will apply these concepts to jazz tunes in various tempos and grooves, including ballads, medium swing, fast swing, and bossa nova. You'll move on to learn important considerations for effective stage presence and use of the microphone, too.

CLASSES IN SPANISH, CATALAN, FRANÇAIS, DEUTSCH, ENGLISH

I teach singing, piano, music awareness/introduction and solfège.

I live in Madrid and I'm a student pursuing a higher degree in singing (jazz and contemporary music). I dedicate a good part of my time to teaching (music and language) through private online or in-person lessons.

I started giving private lessons to children at their homes when I lived in Germany. During the 2022-2023 academic year, I taught piano to students of all ages at the RedMusik Music School (Igualada, Catalonia).

I studied piano and other instruments for over 15 years at the UGDA and the Luxembourg City Conservatory. After many years of solfège and piano, I obtained the Conservatory's "Première Mention" certificate with the highest possible grade, "Très Bien".

A good music lesson should include not only technique and reading sheet music, but also theoretical and harmonic study, improvisation, recreational playing with the instrument, and ear training and rhythm exercises. I am interested in designing the lesson creatively and adapting it to the needs and desires of the student.

I hope I can encourage you to move forward with your musical learning, and if that's the case, don't hesitate to write to me with any questions you may have :)

See you soon!

These classes are designed for boys and girls who want to have a comprehensive approach to music through games, songs, stories and body percussion. It can be done accompanied by parents or guardians. It seeks to develop an emotional relationship with music, favoring individual expression and learning the basic principles of music, which will be useful later when starting to learn an instrument. We will do rhythm, intonation and ear training activities. We will use different instruments, taking into account those that the student has.

I work with adults who want to sing, but often feel unsure about their voice.

Many of my students come in with thoughts like:
• “I can’t sing”
• “I sound bad”
• “I don’t know what I’m doing”

That’s completely okay — and very common.

In my lessons, we focus on understanding your voice step by step, without pressure or judgment.

I teach using Modern Vocal Training (MVT), a science-based method that helps you:
• understand what’s actually happening in your voice
• gain more control and stability
• move more easily through your range
• sing with more confidence

What you can expect:
•. clear explanations (not vague advice)
•. exercises adapted to your voice
•. a structured but flexible approach
•. a calm, supportive space to explore your voice

My focus is not on perfection, but on helping you feel safe and confident while singing.

Lesson format:
•. intro session (30 minutes)
•. 1:1 sessions (45 minutes)
•. online or in Berlin

Suitable for:
•. beginners
•. people who feel insecure about singing
•. hobby singers who want more clarity and control

If you’re curious, you can start with a first session and see how it feels.
