I am a professional lyric soprano graduated from the CNSM of Lyon.
I participate in productions with the Concert d'Astrée, the Choir of Namur, Accentus, the Opéra National de Lorraine, Choir de la Chapelle Harmonique. I am also on the lists of the Montpellier Opera, Concert Spirituel, Ensemble Correspondances and Radio France choir.
I have just finished a production of Haydn's Die Schöpfung at the Opéra National de Lorraine last January-February, conducted by Marta Gardolinska (Guillaume Fauchère choir director), directed by Kevin Barz.

I sang solo and in chorus the role of the Trojan woman in Campra's Idomenée in 2021 at the Lille Opera and the Berlin Staatsoper, staging of the fura dels baus,
I also sang the solo of Campra's Requiem at the philharmonies of Luxembourg, Lille, Essen Cologne and Berlin with the Concert d'Astrée in 2019 directed by Emmanuelle Haïm.

In 2019, I participated in the production of Les Indes Galantes by Rameau with the Namur Choir at the Opera Bastille, directed by Leonardo Garcia Alarcon and directed by Clement Cogitore. In 2022, I participated in numerous productions, notably with the Accentus choir in Beethoven's 9th symphony, the missa solemnis or even a polyphonic baroque project.
In 2022 I participated in the production of Hulda by Cesar Franck with the Namur Choir at the Grand Manège de Namur, the Liège Philharmonic and the Théatre des Champs Elysées.

My background as well as my skills in lyrical singing allow me to master my instrument well. I am a very curious and very patient person, and I like to find solutions to problems. Transmitting my passion to students wishing to discover or develop their voices, discover their artistic personality would be a great pleasure for me. If I can transmit this joy that I have from singing as well as my acquired knowledge, it would be a great exploration for them as for me.

Graduated from the CNR & CNSMP with Gold Medal, and opera singer, I offer lessons covering the basics of singing. Whether you are a beginner looking to develop your singing and speaking voice, or more experienced and aiming to prepare for the conservatory, choirs, competitions, I am here to accompany you.

Passionate about music offers an initiation or a deepening in music (music theory, piano or singing). My goal is to be as attentive as possible to your expectations and I will be quite capable of adapting.
Having played the piano since I was 6 years old, I acquired a very good level of music theory and subsequently found fun methods for this learning which may seem boring but remains necessary. The goal is to help with motivation and confidence! Learning music theory can be for all instruments. Indeed, I know the three types of keys (treble, bass, and C) depending on the instruments.
I am also a member of a musical comedy troupe with which we have put on 10 shows with live music. So I also have a lot of experience singing and playing piano in front of an audience.
I also passed the Music option of the baccalaureate and could therefore also teach you the techniques of comparative listening or instruct you on a work or a genre of music that interests you.
Feel free to contact me for more information !

The focus of this class is to help anybody who aims for it to find his or her own vocal power to sing, in accordance with the student's skills and qualities.
My name is Auriane, I live and work between Berlin and Athens. I'am also a professional musician and sing in many languages like Spanish, French, English... My practice is the result of 10 years of musical studies in France.
I also believe that singing is connected to the body and the way we use it, and become more aware of it. I acquired many tools in order to teach you how to sing your favourite songs in your own free way.
I'm convinced that there is not one way to sing "good" : we all have a voice and I am here to help you find it with exercices according to your own needs. With regular practice and a body-based approach, I'am here to guide you on the way to enjoy your voice freely and earn self-confidence and musical enjoyment !
I would be happy to answer any questions or doubts,
Can't wait to meet you !

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.

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.

My teacher's credo

As an opera singer, I have had the opportunity to perform on international stages while continuing to teach, which is a true vocation for me.

In vocal pedagogy, I believe that each student is the bearer of a unique instrument: their voice. This is why it is essential to adapt teaching and methodological tools to the individuality of each student. This approach allows me to conduct my classes in a variety of ways, choosing the most relevant vocal exercises or repertoire pieces to reveal the individual potential of each voice.

My technique is based on:

* in-depth breathing exercises,
* awareness of the whole body as an instrument,
* understanding the biological principles of breathing and its artistic role,
* the development of a free and resonant vocal emission.

My main objectives are to:

* maintain a feeling of high vocal position, awareness of resonant cavities in singing,
* work on the purity and continuity of vowels (legato), work on diction (Italian, German, French, etc.)
* gradually develop the tessitura,
* harmonize and balance the different vocal registers.

Finally, I place great importance on the student's personal development. Building a voice also means supporting an artistic personality: this involves guiding each student toward a repertoire adapted to their stage of vocal development, while nurturing their sensitivity and self-confidence.

[Please note that lessons are only available for serious students looking to be a professional musician or artist]

My singing lessons are fully personalized based on your level and musical needs. We will work on various techniques to improve your vocal control and develop your potential.

Course of the sessions:

• Short body warm-up

I offer music lessons for children focused on four main areas: music theory, singing, cello, and rhythm. My approach is playful, caring, and adapted to each child's age and pace.

Through music theory, I help children develop their musical ear, read and understand sheet music in a lively and interactive way. In singing, we explore the voice with gentleness and freedom, working on breathing, expression, and the joy of singing together. Cello lessons are designed to introduce young children to the technique of the instrument, while maintaining an element of play and sensory discovery. Finally, rhythm workshops allow children to move, strike, feel the tempo, and play with rhythm through their body and percussion.

Above all, I seek to transmit a love of music and to offer a space for listening, expression and trust.
Each lesson is a little musical journey, where the child learns while having fun.

As a singer myself for around ten years, I am learning to sing healthily and quickly, without forcing, with a modern and caring method.

My teaching method is based on the body, breathing and voice placement to create a clear, stable and comfortable sound.
We work on accuracy, rhythm, diction and interpretation directly on your songs.

Typical course outline (60 min):
→ 15' guided warm-up: body, breathing, vocal warm-up)
→ 20' vocal exercises: placement, resonances, vowels
→ 20' work on phrases on your piece: interpretation
→ 5' homework plan (1 exercise + 1 measurable objective).
Before/after recordings allow you to see progress.

My specialties: active songwriter and artist, clear and structured approach, 4 to 8 week goals, concise written follow-up after each session, demanding but caring atmosphere. I prioritize vocal health and realistic progression: positioning the voice, gaining in pitch, lengthening the breath, daring to interpret.

Who is it for? Beginners (including shy people), teens and adults, pop/variety/soul/folk styles.

Classes in Paris or online. Ideal for learning to sing in tune to your favorite songs, preparing for a stage/open mic, or simply gaining confidence, quickly and sustainably.

A teaching method that is both demanding and supportive, where vocal technique is at the service of music and interpretation.
Pleasure is paramount.
Singing is the reflection of the soul.
The course is tailored to the singer's request and needs.

My singing lessons are fully personalized based on your level and musical needs. We will work on various techniques to improve your vocal control and develop your potential.

Course of the sessions:

• Short body warm-up

• Vocal exercises to warm up the voice and work on technique, with emphasis on:

- breathing and breath control
- the development of the larynx
- relaxation of the jaw and resonator muscles
- projection / power techniques
- accuracy

• Repertoire adapted and specialized to your voice type and your vocal evolution, in order to fully express your musicality and artistic personality. Each course will be adapted to your progress, in a caring and motivating atmosphere, to sing with more ease, confidence and pleasure. Let's discover the world of your voice together!

I offer music lessons for children focused on four main areas: music theory, singing, cello, and rhythm. My approach is playful, caring, and adapted to each child's age and pace.

Through music theory, I help children develop their musical ear, read and understand sheet music in a lively and interactive way. In singing, we explore the voice with gentleness and freedom, working on breathing, expression, and the joy of singing together. Cello lessons are designed to introduce young children to the technique of the instrument, while maintaining an element of play and sensory discovery. Finally, rhythm workshops allow children to move, strike, feel the tempo, and play with rhythm through their body and percussion.

Above all, I seek to transmit a love of music and to offer a space for listening, expression and trust.
Each lesson is a little musical journey, where the child learns while having fun.

As a singer myself for around ten years, I am learning to sing healthily and quickly, without forcing, with a modern and caring method.

My teaching method is based on the body, breathing and voice placement to create a clear, stable and comfortable sound.
We work on accuracy, rhythm, diction and interpretation directly on your songs.

Typical course outline (60 min):
→ 15' guided warm-up: body, breathing, vocal warm-up)
→ 20' vocal exercises: placement, resonances, vowels
→ 20' work on phrases on your piece: interpretation
→ 5' homework plan (1 exercise + 1 measurable objective).
Before/after recordings allow you to see progress.

My specialties: active songwriter and artist, clear and structured approach, 4 to 8 week goals, concise written follow-up after each session, demanding but caring atmosphere. I prioritize vocal health and realistic progression: positioning the voice, gaining in pitch, lengthening the breath, daring to interpret.

Who is it for? Beginners (including shy people), teens and adults, pop/variety/soul/folk styles.

Classes in Paris or online. Ideal for learning to sing in tune to your favorite songs, preparing for a stage/open mic, or simply gaining confidence, quickly and sustainably.

A teaching method that is both demanding and supportive, where vocal technique is at the service of music and interpretation.
Pleasure is paramount.
Singing is the reflection of the soul.
The course is tailored to the singer's request and needs.
