Singing lessons - vocal training - weekly lessons - audition training

Hey there!

My name is May Kristin, and I am from Norway. As a teacher, I find it important to guide my students to the true meaning and message within any piece or song. I enter each lesson with absolute commitment to spark imagination and musical understanding and find joy in seeing your ideas develop and being your guide along the way. In addition to teaching vocal techniques and principals, I want to help you become an informed and independent musician, with your own musical ideas and authentic voice.

What do I offer?
- Singing lessons for anyone who would like to improve on their singing
- Preparation for conservatory entrance exams and other auditions
- Specialized in classical and baroque singing, but open to any genre

How will we do it?
Together we will explore healthy vocal technique, primal sound, different languages and styles, and how to express true emotions while singing. I believe singing should be physically easy and a whole lot of fun!

Where will it happen?
Wherever you are the most comfortable!
I offer singing lessons at my home, at your home (within Den Haag) or online.

Feel free to contact me with any questions!

With my expertise of teaching over 300 students, having Bachelors and Masters Degree in jazz singing from the Royal Conservatory of The Hague, success in several contests, attended lessons, masterclasses and workshops from professionals - I believe I can be a great contribution to your daily life with engaging singing lessons.🔝 👇 BACKGROUND: Dominyka is a professional singer, singing, and piano teacher that is currently based in The Hague. She plays piano, violin and writes her own music. Over the past decade, she graduated from the Royal Conservatory in The Netherlands with Bachelor's and Master's degrees in jazz singing and in pedagogical minor studies. She had a chance to participate in various music festivals as a singer, have concerts of her own, be behind the scenes in various TV shows, and win several vocal competitions, and she truly developed her ears and her knowledge that she is now also able to help others to find their own unique singing voice. She has developed her knowledge of vocal technique, CVT method, stage presence, body language, storytelling, composition, writing, improvisation and so on. with various great teachers from all over the world. As well as, she had the honour to participate in workshops of Snarky Puppy, Dianne Reeves, Dena DeRose, Bob Stoloff, Norma Winstone, Magda Mayas, Fay Classon, etc. In addition, she took a course with Stevie Mackey, and Cheryl Porter and had lessons with Natalie Weiss. Dominyka has a passion for music production and currently she is learning more about mixing. 👇 MOTIVATION: "I feel like voice is a unique thing and music is such a good therapy. I believe everyone can sing, and I believe that everyone could sing greatly if they are patient and put work in it." - Dominyka 👇 LESSONS: I whole-heartedly promise that with our singing lessons, you will learn more about your own voice and that you will develop your own sound as a singer. We work on warm-ups/warm-downs, breath support and its control, sound projection, how the larynx, jaw, and tongue work and can function freely, vowel placement, vocal effects, vocal color, dynamics, articulation, stage presence, high notes - power singing (belting), jazz improvisation, vocal improvisation, interpretations, rhythmic variations, and so much more. My goal for you is to have the best time and spend lesson time wisely while we achieve the best results in singing. If there is a wish, I can also help you to broaden your knowledge about the repertoire that is suiting to your voice color, recording sessions, live performance situations, "a workout plan for singing", songwriting/composing, music theory, ear-training, solfeggio, and such. I recognise that every voice is unique, and that's why my singing lessons are customised to suit each individual student. The focus is on building a strong foundation in vocal technique, honing performance skills, and curating a versatile repertoire that aligns with your musical aspirations. Whether you're a beginner or a more experienced singer, I am here to help you reach your goals. I aim to instil confidence and encourage individuality as I am very adaptable with my teaching methods because everybody processes information differently. And what’s more... It is enjoyable and fulfilling! So therefore, I can help all who are interested in finding their own authentic voice! 👇 P.S. All styles are welcome! (pop/jazz/RnB/musicals/and so on) If you wish to learn how to play piano, read the notes, learn basic or advanced music theory, practice solfeggio, or learn more about jazz harmony - reach out to me because I teach that as well. See you soon :)

Experimental electronic music composition / Free improvisation (theory & practice)
Experimentation is an inherent characteristic of electronic music. Nowadays, composing music using technology creates endless creative possibilities that demand the musician/composer to adapt to numerous technical and artistic challenges. Do you like experimenting with sound and making music that does not clearly belong to a particular genre or style? Interested in bringing a fresh perspective and out-of-the-box thinking to your music production? Are you just starting out in electronic music composition and wondering how to develop your own style? This course is just what you need. In this class, you will learn: - how to transform sound using analogue and digital techniques. - how to create sound structures and organise them in a DAW enviroment to compose a piece of music. - how to record, edit and mix sounds using both conventional and experimental techniques. - how to use improvisation in both the context of live performance and composition. - about the theory and practice of free improvisation. - about the history and origins of electronic music and how it affected the music we listen today. - how to document and communicate procedures related to your artistic practice. - how to create an artistic portfolio. Aspiring musicians with a background in any genre can take advantage of this course. A formal education in music or experience with electronic music composition are not required to follow. However, you should be unafraid of experimenting with sound and music technology! Each class is customized to meet the needs of the individual student in an innovative and flexible way! The course can also serve as a preparation for applying to several Dutch educational programmes related to electronic music composition (Institute of Sonology, HKU, ArtEZ, etc.). The class is focused on small assignments that help the student develop a sense of orientation and set goals. Recording, editing, and mixing will be done via the DAW "Reaper," but we can switch to your preferred software at any time. We will use the first lesson to discuss your background, interests, and motivations in order to develop a course structure that is tailored to your needs.

Ivan

With this knowledge you will be able to produce music in all genres: pop, hip hop, rock, EDM, etc.

Make your own Synthesizer or Effect using Max for Live - Lessons in English or French
Max for Live is a tool bundled with Ableton Live that lets you program your own instruments and effects without writing a single line of code. With this course you will get a better understanding of the components of a synthesizer, learn the fundamentals of some of the most known and recognizable effects and learn some basic notions of programming. Max uses a visual approach to programming, meaning you do not have to right codes to make your own plugins, instead you connect blocks that each have a specific function into an interconnected network that make a functioning instrument or effect. By learning how to make your own plugin you will also gain a better understanding of how digital audio works, making you more aware of what your are doing in Ableton and more efficient.

Riccardo
Singing Lessons for Beginner and Advanced Students
Deepening my knowledge of singing and passing on my skills to students are the things I love to do most and I have been teaching singing to beginners and professionals for many years now. I start from the basics of breathing, vocal warmup, and anatomy of the phonatory organ, to reach a confident use of the vocal instrument, and mastery of the technique, alongside body awareness. For set-out-artists, for those who want to go further into the technique and receive a guide in the artistic sector, I offer my professionalism in the study of the repertoire and performing techniques, introducing and deepening notions of pronunciation and diction for singers, understanding of the text, acting and executive techniques (applied to singing). Furthermore, my students have the opportunity to make professional recordings, to follow and document their artistic evolution (Self-recording technique lessons can be added). I have a bachelor's degree in classical singing from Conservatorio di Musica “F. Morlacchi” (Perugia, Italy) and I can speak English and Italian in the lessons. I am available both online and in person, don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Yoryia
Jazz and pop singing lessons/ Vocal coaching in a variety of music genres
My aim is to share my knowledge on how to use your instrument, your voice. It's nice for people to be able to express their feelings through singing, not only using a good technique, but also developing a way to deliver their own ideas and characteristics.

Dennis
Campfire guitarist (with or without music theory and singing)
You want to be the person who can just pick-up a guitar and play a song everyone can sing along to? Do you want to be able to play (and sing) a song after hearing it once or twice? Impress your friends or your lover by playing their favorite songs. I teach you: - How to hold and play the guitar - How to play your favorite songs - The skills to learn guitar on your own - How to warm up (playing guitar or singing) - Breathing and singing exercises to improve your singing I might not be able to turn you into a pro. But I'll teach you the first steps to getting there yourself! A bit about me: I study for music therapist, so I know how to engage in converstation. If you have special needs, I know how to respect those and teach you how to deal with them (musically) My goal is to do this outside of my school hours, so I'm pretty flexible when it comes to weekends and evenings as wel! I'm a spiritual person; that means I'm also open for your religion (if you have one) ;) I'm 24 years old with an obvious passion for music. Hit me up if you have any questions. If you need help finding your first guitar I can advise you on that. Let's talk about your budget and options and we will settle on an agreement for the price of my advise.

Eva
Singing lessons for all levels - voice - breath - body
I'm offering singing lessons for all levels and ages. Together we will explore your voice and build a healthy vocal technique. Hi, my name is Eva. I'm a classically trained singer with a bachelor's degree in singing from the Royal Conservatory of The Hague. I love to learn and research about voice. In my lessons, I pay attention to vocal technique (breath, phonation, resonance, articulation) and body movement. Our whole body is our instrument, so I like to incorporate exercises from different sources like Tao Face Yoga, Yoga, Qigong etc. Structure and consistency are important, but on the other hand, singing is also all about playfulness and spontaneity. So I try to keep that balance in the lesson. But the most important to me is that I create a warm and safe environment where students feel safe to open up and dare to express, feel, and explore their voices. Our voice is not only a tool to express, but have also positive effects on our hormones and nervous system. So singing is not only fun but also good for you!

Rita
Singing: Classical (opera), musical or pop, technique and expression.
Classes are given in Dutch, English, French, or Spanish. We usually do a bit of technique at the beginning of the lesson, and then work on the song(s) that you brought (expression and technique). It can be classical or pop. I can accompany you on the piano.

Myrto
Composition, Arranging and Songwriting Class for different levels
The structure of the lesson is based on the pupil’s preference in music style, instrument combinations and others. We will talk about the harmony, rhythm and form while the pupil will be asked to create his/her own short works/songs. I always find fascinating to analyze music of the past (for example some of your favorite songs, instrumental works and others) in order to gain a deeper understanding of how these were created and from what musical ingredients they consist. Furthermore, integral part of this course is the understanding of the possibilities of each instrument and the combination of more than one. In this course, you can also learn how to use music notation softwares such as Finale and Musescore in order to notate your own music easily and fast.

Katarina Viktoria
Russian, German, English, French, Latvian or Singing/Piano Lessons?
Languages are important skills to have, and music can benefit our brain and our health. So why don't you come on over and start learning languages and/or music with me? :D I am a multi-cultured music student, I have moved around a lot in my life, which is the reason why I speak over 5 languages. I am very open, positive, friendly and always ready to help! I study Classical Voice at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague, before that I graduated from a Music College in Latvia. I have the needed credentials/knowledge to teach music for basic/intermediate levels. Also, I own a piano, so it's not a problem if you don't have a instrument for yourself.

Kristina
Classical Voice Lessons - technique, interpretation, and musical expression
Hi there! My name is Kristina and I come from a Czech/British background. I currently study vocals at The Royal Conservatory of The Hague in the Early Music department as well as Choral Conducting as a minor subject. In the class vocal lessons, I want to give you a basis of a classical vocal technique and explore the world of singing. We would be working on our body - how it works, breath, exercises, on our musicality (intonation, phrasing, expression), on the text, but also on a lot on repertoire, which suits your voice(: This class intended for any ages from about 8 to 70+ Pre-mutation children - we will work more on folk songs and developing your musicality 15 + we will focus more on the body, repertoire, and on all the musical aspects of singing See you soon !

Ludovica
Singing lessons for everyone, classic and modern singing
In my lessons, I offer the study of vocal technique but above all I offer fun. I am convinced that singing is first of all therapeutic. If you need to sing it's because you need to communicate in a different way. During my lessons, we will be able to experiment together with the best method for you to use your voice. My mission will be to make you a confident and autonomous musician with a strong artistic identity. I can not wait to meet you! Let's sing!
