Singing lessons in Amsterdam: Jazz, Pop, Bossa Nova
My approach to singing lessons is based on developing and improving the voice in a technical and expressive way, while enjoying the learning process.
1. Body Awareness:
We begin by working on posture, breathing, and relaxation to prepare the body as a vocal instrument. By becoming more aware of our body, we'll become more conscious of how we use our voice, and our singing will be more natural and fluid.
2. Vocal Warm-up:
We perform specific exercises to activate the voice, including scales, arpeggios, and resonance techniques. These exercises help improve vocal range, intonation, and projection.
3. Repertoire Work:
Choose a song you like (or we can choose one together) and we'll explore it in depth. We'll develop vocal technique by applying it directly to performance, working on expression, diction, and musical style.
4. Custom Development:
Each class is tailored to your needs and goals. Progress is measured through songs that reflect your musical interests, ensuring a unique and motivating experience.
My goal is to create a safe and creative space where you can develop your voice, gain confidence, and enjoy the art of singing.
