ACDS Geneva singing lessons in the studio and online!

“Your voice is your most beautiful instrument...” “It is very difficult for our body to develop and build in a harmonious way. The history and journey of each have left their mark. As a result, we may find it difficult to sing properly and position our voice.” Singing can be learned! Singing out of tune is not inevitable. "Singing" is a vocal education through which one learns to effectively develop one's voice, have automatisms, exceed one's limits and achieve excellence in order to express one's creativity and oneself. The School Of Vocal Arts aims to provide you with all the tools necessary for your musical development. We teach and support you in a real synergy of research, creativity and innovation. We are Talent Revealers and Coaches, from an early age through to a professional career. Vocal coaching is not just a singing lesson but an in-depth research into the use of one's body (muscles, postures, breath management, emotions, etc.) in the service of the voice! The school's pedagogy is based on several years of research in vocal technique. Indeed, this unique methodology, SOVA Vocal'FiT® will allow the student to benefit from a "tailor-made" teaching, thus giving him the opportunity to express his creativity to achieve excellence. We compare the singer to a top athlete who trains with the expertise of a team to be able to perform with excellence. Physical preparation is key to becoming a complete performer. Each student benefits from a personalized program adapted to his level and his personal project. Improve your vocal technique, work on your rhythm, stage preparation, singing lessons... The coaches are, above all, artists who share their knowledge and their experiences, as well as the reality of the profession of singer, which brings to their lessons a practical dimension, appreciated by the students. They accompany you throughout your project in order to make you progress at your own pace while respecting your musical style. Each coach benefits from additional training, which allows him to integrate the SOVA Vocal'FiT® methodology, philosophy, ethics and the way the school operates. During our first meeting, a complete checkup of your voice and your project is carried out, in order to situate your level, understand and define your objectives, and target the points you wish to work on or improve. In some cases, coaching is combined with music therapy or vocal rehabilitation, through which students discover and reveal themselves. This unique coaching methodology, set up by Sabine Jacquet, founder and director of SOVA, also applies to different pathologies or disabilities, with the search for an appropriate teaching and approach. A vocal pathology is rarely irremediable! Once the pathology has been identified, voice rehabilitation, which is done in partnership with phoniatrists, speech therapists and ENT specialists, will make it possible to work in depth on psychological and bodily blockages. Voice work takes into account psychological parameters that help to fight against stress, anxieties and difficult to manage emotions. We will relearn the student to use his voice correctly and effectively develop his way of singing or expressing himself. Pushing back physical, physiological and emotional barriers is possible!! The School Of Vocal Arts is about working and revealing the secrets of your voice together!

My classes are different depending on your level and age. With children from 7 to 12, we start by doing easy vocalization and start training the ear with intonation, we then have fun singing your favorite songs. With teenagers, I also start with some vocalization, a little more elaborate. Depending on the student's capabilities, we start establishing a comfortable range for them and then proceed to singing. For my older students ideally, I divide our lesson into 2 sections. We work on respiration and how the diaphragm works. We do scales and arpeggios and work on intonation. We then proceed to singing and putting into practice our technique. Some students might need more technique before they actually sing, I like to take things slowly and make sure the student feels confident and comfortable singing. I teach children, teenagers, and adults, from beginners to more advanced. Classical training enables you to sing in any kind of way, so don’t hesitate and let’s sing!

Experienced teacher of Oud and oriental Arabic singing for over 11 years, I am Lebanese and currently residing in Germany. I studied for 8 years at the Lebanese National Conservatory. I taught at the Casa Beethoven Academy in Lebanon and gave private lessons. In addition, I was conductor of the Loubnan Assalam oriental orchestra for over 5 years. My recommendation for learning the Oud is to start with the study of notes and musical notation before tackling pieces. Although some students prefer to play songs directly, understanding the basics of musical notation allows for faster progress in the long run. With determination and hard work, significant progress can be made in a year, allowing one to play simple melodies. Please feel free to leave me a message, I will reply as soon as possible.
