Singing lesson - Jazz Improvisation - Music Theory

Hello everyone!
I am a Jazz Vocalist, currently studying at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.
In our lessons we are going to focus on:
- Improvisation
- Vocal technique
- Music Theory

My goal as a teacher:
Is to focus on your musical direction when it comes to repertoire and musical influences and also use technique and music theory as a base for you to experiment, allowing you to express your musical ideas more clearly and dive into your creativity.
For me improvisation is one of my main focuses, Jazz or free improvisation.
When it comes to technique, my objective is to develop your muscle memory so that eventually when you make music you will be able to do it effortlessly.
I also use music theory to my lessons as a tool for a deeper understanding of the music that you want to sing.
I can also provide in a beginner level, lessons for you to be able to accompany yourself on piano.

My education:
Jazz Improvisation with Sanna van Vliet
Technique with Wieber-Pier Cnossen
Vocal Teachers Lydia van Dam, Humphrey Campbell
Masterclasses:
Michael Mayo, Sheila Jordan, Gerald Clayton, Ben Wendel, Peter Bernstein, Melissa Aldana.

I am looking forward to experiment with our creativity through music together.

About Me

MY VISION

Teaching has been an extraordinary tool for my personal development as a vocalist. It’s fascinating to observe how the posture and vocal challenges of my students can reveal certain aspects of their personality. As a singer, your body is your instrument, and any physical or psychological issues can directly affect your voice.

Through teaching, I have realized the profound impact that practicing singing has on my overall wellbeing. It not only helps me take care of my body but also enables me to feel confident and at ease when standing in front of individuals or even a large audience without hiding behind an instrument. This sense of comfort and confidence extends beyond the realm of singing and positively influences my personal
growth as a person.

My goal is to instill this mindset in my students. I believe it is more beneficial to approach singing not as a tedious practice, but as a profound discipline that contributes to their overall well-being and adds value to their everyday lives. When we view singing in this light, it becomes an uplifting factor that goes beyondtechnical exercises and becomes a source of joy, personal growth, and empowerment.

Experience / Qualifications

I have been teaching for four years now, and during my tenure, I have honed my ability to empathize with and comprehend the concerns and challenges my students face when it comes to singing. My training has equipped me with the necessary skills to listen attentively to their voices and understand the reasons behind any discomfort or pain they may experience while singing.
