    About Me

    - ENGLISH -

    I have been a student of the musical arts for 10 years. As a musical performance major graduate from Adelphi University, I had made it my goal to understand myself as a vehicle for artistic expression. The voice is the centerpiece of my journey.

    Throughout my singing my career, I had been exposed to vocals styles such as classical, theater singing, and belting (pop singing). Each exposure opened new techniques on how to find my own unique sound and voice.

    I also discovered that the voice is not only supported by vocal technique but also by how our bodies support it. Taking dance classes and yoga classes throughout my musical career helped me understand this. A good posture can help generate good vocal technique.

    I have a degree in SAE as an audio engineer and have had the opportunity to intern as an audio engineer in New York, Long Island.

    When I lived in New York, I was a member of The New York Songwriters Circle as well as The Nashville Songwriters Association International. It is through these organizations that I was able to hone my songwriting skills.

    I have been able to utilise all my artistic skill set to create my own Brussels-based music duo called SEY. During my time with SEY, we played numerous concerts around Belgium and Luxembourg. This is a project that was a culmination of my years of training as a singer, songwriter, and audio engineer. After disbanding in 2019, I restarted my own personal project at the end of 2021 called, Steffi.

    Another highlight of my career was when I was a contestant in The Voice Belgium 2015. Living in Belgium for only 4 months without speaking a word of french, I started my journey as a contestant in The Voice Belgium.

    My well-rounded experience as a musical artist can help me understand the artistic mind and process. I can help in unlocking a student’s own unique voice in their pace.

    --------------------

    - FRANÇAIS -

    J'ai étudié les arts musicaux pendant 10 ans. Diplômée de l'université Adelphi (New York) puis de la SAE (New York), mon but a été de comprendre mon être entier comme véhicule d'expression artistique. La voix étant au centre de cette aventure.

    Au cours de ma carrière de chanteuse, j'ai été exposée à des styles vocaux extrêmement variés : classique, théâtral, pop. Chacun participant à former ma propre identité vocale.

    J'ai aussi découvert que la voix est bien plus qu'une technique vocale à apprendre : elle fait intervenir le corps dans sa totalité. J'ai appris cela à travers le yoga, la danse et le théâtre : une bonne posture permet de générer une bonne voix.

    Quand je vivais à New York, j'ai fait partie de "The New York Songwriters Circle" et "The Nashville Songwriters Association International". Ces groupes m'ont permis de perfectionner mon songwriting (écriture de chansons).

    A Bruxelles, j'ai pu mettre tous mes talents à l'oeuvre en créant le duo musical SEY.

    J'ai également participé à The Voice Belgique en 2015.

    Toute cette expérience me permet aujourd'hui de comprendre l'esprit et le processus artistique dans sa globalité, pour moi mais aussi pour mon élève désireux de découvrir sa propre voix à son propre rythme.

    Education

    I graduated as a magna cum laude at Adelphi University as a music performance major with a concentration in piano performance. I also have an audio engineering diploma from SAE NY. I was a former member of the Nashville Songwriters Circle and New York Singer Songwriter Circle.

    Experience / Qualifications

    More than 10 years of experience in the music and performance field in New York and in Brussels. Previous contestant of the Voice Belgium. As a music artist I performed in music venues in New York and Brussels.

Shortly after finishing my studies with honors, I studied audio engineering at SAE NY, School of Audio Engineering, where I was able to use my classical training to understand music in a different perspective. Throughout my experience as a musician, I came to understand how important it is to have a good musical foundation and above all, to have a mentor to show you how to appreciate the process of learning an instrument. As a teacher, I am passionate about the learning process because it is at this beginning stage in which we learn to cultivate the love for playing piano and music. I am here for you! Our lessons will cover: -Music Theory -Ear Training -Sight reading -Piano playing technique -Musicianship Please contact me if you have any questions. Have a wonderful day! I am looking forward to working with you! Sincerely, Steffi

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.

    VOCAL TECHNIQUE FOR ALL TYPES OF MODERN SINGING, POP, SWING AND JAZZ SINGING LESSONS, VOCAL COACH, VOICE WORK.
    Do you want to know the register of your voice? Can you sing the higher notes without hurting your voice? Learn how to do pass marks? Getting to have a powerful but also agile voice? I am a songwriter, pop and jazz singer and singing teacher with 20 years of experience in music. I offer singing lessons at all levels. My classes are addressed to the development of body, muscle and vocal awareness which helps to perceive and consider our body as a musical instrument. My teaching method is the result of the synthesis of my experience as a singer and the many and diverse courses of study followed. The lesson is structured in two parts: the first half devoted to vocal technique, the second half to the musical repertoire and the learning of musical language (jazz or pop or other genre). The vocal technique that I propose is a basic technique for all types of modern singing: from postural education to the care of breathing, from the use of the abdominal muscles, to the emission of air up to the cavities of resonance. We will work on the sound, on the extension of the voice, on the high and low notes, on the passage of register, on the control, on the power and the agility. From a repertoire point of view, the course will be modeled on the needs or interests of the student, with an eye to the right attitude to hold while you sing and you are on a stage. I can prepare the student for the entrance exam to the conservatory and any form of audition. If the student wishes, I can give him notions of harmony and reading music. EDUCATION I studied song in Italy with Bruno De Franceschi (conductor and composer of contemporary classical music and musical theatre). I studied vocal technique with the lyric singer David Sotgiu (pupil of Luciano Pavarotti), with the lyric singer Maria Grazia Pittavini (teacher at the Perugia Conservatory) and with Cinzia Spata (one of the most important Italian jazz vocal coaches). I studied jazz singing at the Perugia Conservatory with Marta Raviglia (one of the most important Italian jazz singing teachers) and privately with Cinzia Spata. I studied lyrical singing with Maria Grazia Pittavini. I studied pop and jazz piano with Manuel Magrini (one of the most talented young Italian jazz pianists), I studied jazz piano with Alessandro Bravo, jazz piano master at the Perugia Conservatory. I followed masterclasses and trainings relating to the world of singing and voice held by: Maria Pia De Vito (singer), Alejandro Saorin Martinez (voice craft / Estill method), Albert Hera (singer, vocal coach, circle song) , Erika Biavati (singer), Eleonora Bruni (singer), Catharina Kroeger (lyric singer), Amanda Tiffin (South African jazz singer), JD Walter (American jazz singer), Matteo Belli (actor and one of the most important Italian experts in voice research), Franco Fussi (one of the most important phoniatrists in Italy), Roberta Mazzocchi (speech therapist), one-year training in rhytmics and musical pedagogy at Institut Dalcroze in Brussels, three-month training in Gordon method for children between 0 and 6 years old. EXPERIENCE / QUALIFICATIONS I have 20 years of experience in music with around 200 concerts between festivals, theaters, clubs and premises, an album of songs, an EP, singles, collaborations with the world of theater, organization of musical events . I lead musical projects in the field of jazz and pop. The passion for singing and song has inevitably brought me closer to the world of education in which I work.

The lessons are adapted to each student's needs and wishes. On top of playing, I can also offer lessons on harmony, form analysis and counterpoint that focus on understanding the structure of music. My lessons will already include many different aspects of the music being taught but there is the option of focusing the theoretical or the practical. i am looking forward to teaching you music!
