My name is Carmen and I am an opera singer. I studied at the PI Chaykovsky Conservatory in Moscow and the famous Santa Cecilia Conservatory in Rome. I attended many masterclasses in Russia, Italy and Austria with Edda Moser, Renata Scotto, Nino Machaidze etc. I was also a soloist in the Vatican Choir.

For several years, I have been working as a singing teacher in Brussels. I offer courses in English, French, Russian and Italian. I teach children from 6 years old (beginners or more experienced). I offer a wide variety of breathing and singing techniques.

About Me
🎶I'm Carmen, a passionate opera singer and vocal coach trained in some of Europe's finest vocal traditions.
With over 20 years of stage experience and 7 years of professional teaching in Brussels, I guide singers of all levels from curious beginners to advanced performers toward a healthy, expressive, and natural vocal technique.

A former soloist with the Vatican Choir, I continue to refine my craft with renowned masters such as Romualdo Savastano and Nino Machaidze, regularly participating in international masterclasses in Italy, Austria, and Belgium.

My teaching is rooted in body awareness, vocal freedom, and emotional connection to music helping each student discover their true voice and sing with confidence, ease, and authenticity.

Among the distinguished current masterclass teachers in Italy whom I admire are Marcelo Álvarez (tenor, frequent guest of Italian opera masterclasses) and Giovanni Meoni (Italian baritone and voice coach, teaching at Parma Conservatory).
Education
🎓 • PI Tchaikovsky Conservatory, Moscow (Russia)
• Accademia Santa Cecilia, Rome (Italy)
• Masterclasses with Renata Scotto, Edda Moser, Romualdo Savastano, Nino Machaidze, Nicolas Beller Carbone, Paul Curran, and more — including recent masterclasses by Marcelo Álvarez, José Carreras, Giuseppe Lopizzo.
Continuously advancing my expertise, I am currently studying under internationally renowned Italian vocal professors to deepen my technique and pedagogical approach.
Experience / Qualifications
🎶Over the years, I have built a rich and diverse artistic and teaching career across Europe.
I teach classical and modern vocal technique in Brussels and online, working with singers of all ages and levels from passionate beginners to professional performers. My lessons focus on healthy vocal technique, body awareness, and expressive interpretation. I also prepare my students for auditions, competitions, concerts, and recordings, helping them develop stage presence and confidence.

Before dedicating myself to teaching, I performed extensively as a soloist and ensemble member across Europe.
I was the winner of the “Young Talents” singing competition (Moscow, 1999), a member of the V. Loktev Ensemble (1997–2001), and later a soloist with the Vatican Choir (2008–2010).
My performance experience includes concerts and opera projects in Italy (Bracciano, Capranica, Anguillara, Orbetello, Laterano), Russia (Moscow), Armenia (Yerevan) and Belgium (Leuven) performing major works such as Pergolesi's Stabat Mater and Mozart's Requiem, as well as operatic roles like Zaide in Rossini's Il Turco in Italia with the Tito Gobbi Association.

I also collaborated with Opera Vlaanderen in Ghent, introducing opera to children through interactive educational projects an experience that deepened my passion for teaching and artistic communication.

I teach in French, English, Russian, and Italian, and I always adapt my method to each student's voice, goals, and artistic personality.
My students describe my teaching as warm, inspiring, and precise, and they often notice rapid progress both technically and artistically.

You will learn to create your own methods to make transcriptions and understand the sonority of other musical styles and genres.

The method I use in my singing lessons is divided into two main parts: the technique and the repertoire.
In vocal technique, we will work on specific aspects such as the anatomy of the phonatory apparatus, its functioning, breathing, vocal emission, extension exercises, vocal register, vocal agility and vocal hygiene. .
In the repertoire, we will mainly work on songs that help and support the development of everyone's artistic personality, and we will choose songs that can help the student acquire new vocal language and vocal cues.
With me you can work on songs in Italian (I am a native Italian speaker), in English (I graduated from the Brussels Conservatory in English under the direction of my singing teacher David Linx), in French and in Spanish (languages that I studied, spoke and sung) and finally in Portuguese (a language that I studied a lot thanks to the Brazilian music that I sang and from which I learned a lot).
My method is for anyone of any age who has decided to use their voice consciously, so not only singers but also actors, teachers and anyone who has to use the voice in their profession. With children, the method will focus more on rhythm, singing and musical awakening.
In addition, we will explore topics such as complementary piano (piano accompaniment with voice), songwriting (writing your first songs or helping you write and write an unreleased song), recording and producing songs. a cover or your own original song.
In short, there are so many things to learn about voice and music that the avenues are endless and I am always looking for them, constantly updating and with great passion that I can't wait to pass on to you.

Passionate about the performing arts since childhood, I first studied the violin, then dance and theater to finally combine time with lyrical singing.
I studied musical comedy and then opera in various courses including the National Conservatory of Music in Paris.
I have been giving private lessons for several years and I have created several musical shows with amateur adults in associative settings.
Each voice is unique! I really work according to the stamp, the level, the personality of each one. I am convinced that voice work, in addition to being beautiful and pleasant, helps us to gain self-confidence, develops our imagination, helps to let off steam and unburden ourselves of all that we experience on a daily basis!
I adapt to the desires and objectives of everyone: the actor wanting to add a color to his palette, the lawyer wanting to calmly work on his voice, the student wanting to sing in the evening, all workers wanting to sing to let off steam, for all people who are convinced they don't know how to sing...

The clarinet is a single-reed musical instrument in the woodwind family, with a nearly cylindrical bore and a flared bell.

Clarinets comprise a family of instruments of differing sizes and pitches. The clarinet family is the largest woodwind family, ranging from the BB♭ contrabass to the E♭ soprano. The B♭ soprano clarinet is the most common type, and is the instrument usually indicated by the word "clarinet".

German instrument maker Johann Christoph Denner is generally credited with inventing the clarinet sometime around the year 1700 by adding a register key to the chalumeau, an earlier single-reed instrument. Over time, additional keywork and airtight pads were added to improve the tone and playability. Today the clarinet is a standard fixture of the orchestra and concert band and is used in classical music, military bands, klezmer, jazz, and other styles.

My singing lessons are designed to help each student express themselves to the fullest, accompanying them in the process of discovering their own voice.
I give in-person and online voice lessons for students of all levels and needs with a personalized curriculum depending on the student's interests and style preference.
During my lessons I range from vocal technique to music theory with the intent of creating a personal and varied repertoire that follows the aptitude and predisposition of the student.
I also offer the opportunity to explore the area of composition and interpretation.
