Discover the joy of singing!
Singing makes you happy and satisfied, correct singing even more.
With me you will get to know your voice, improve your musical knowledge and sing whatever you always wanted to sing but didn't dare to (be it a pop song from the radio or a classic aria).
I, an opera singer trained in Switzerland and Ukraine, offer competent singing lessons with a focus on "building and developing the voice".

About Me

Dear future student,
I am very happy to work with you!
Since I was born in Russia and grew up in Switzerland, I'm open minded about working with different people. On my numerous trips I got to know many different mentalities and cultures and that is something wonderful that not every profession can offer. Even before my actual studying in Odessa (Ukraine), I attended master classes in Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Austria and Poland. I sang a few musicals and concerts with a choir, grabbing ideas and influences that I'd later add to my own knowledge.
Later after my bachelor's degree, I successfully completed my studies in Switzerland (Opernstudio Biel, HKB) and received my master’s degree in opera singing. The first opera productions in the region and outside followed. I was also invited to perform at several open-air festivals of the classic variety, such as in Schaffhausen and Isny.
At the same time, I received the opportunity to teach. I worked for a while at the Migros Club School (Migros Aare Cooperative, Thun) as a singing and piano teacher. Later after moving I started to work at the cantonal school Trogen AR (Switzerland), where I still work today. Migros Club School was particularly interesting for me as a teacher because I was allowed to work there with people from a wide variety of backgrounds and situations: retired mountaineers, office managers, students.
At the cantonal school I usually work with young people (ages 16-22). My teaching style is relaxed but firm. I patiently sing the student in; with fun exercises until the voice warms up and the body is ready to work. Then we look together at clear technical tasks that are designed to shape and improve the voice. Finally the student sings one or more works and tries to implement the technique that he has learned in the class. I always try to adapt the choice of pieces to the possibilities of the student, but I also accept requests. Only when you like to sing, can you sing freely!
The student does not need to have any previous knowledge. As long as he/she is ready to try something new and trust my work, I am sure of his/her success

Lyrical Song / Opera Beginner to Professional Solfege, musical writing
Have you ever been surprised by the fact that a lyric singer with his voice can without a microphone fill a concert hall while passing through an orchestra? There is a very simple reason for this. The singer produces "harmonics" in his voice! Although it is difficult to explain, I would say that it is about a sound mass where the sound becomes almost matter! And to produce this, the singer sings in what is called, according to the baths of the teaching, the "Mask" or to be more precise in anatomical baths the "NasoPharynx" which is a space inside the head where the sound goes, a sound box to amplify the sound! It may sound surprising, but it is quite possible to learn this through vocal technique, and you might be surprised at yourself! By the vocal technique, I also mean the management of the breath, with a diaphragm that goes down very low, because the breath is the basis of singing! I accept any profile, beginner or experienced, musician or not! In any case, this practice can only bring you well being! I also accept to teach music theory, writing, and harmony!

Jessica
Graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Jazz singing and in the process of my master's degree in musical pedagogy, I give jazz and pop singing lessons for all ages
Singing is a unique way to have fun and externalize all that we have accumulated during the day. In a world where it's hard to stop, it's a moment for yourself, where you can reconnect with your body and your emotions. During these lessons, we will approach vocal technique and interpretation on pieces of your choice. Learning to manage your voice as you manage an instrument, in order to be able to have even more pleasure in singing and to blossom in music, will be our main goal.

Dear students: My name is Denise and I'm a professional singer with a singing master's degree from Catalonia's Music College (ESMUC) specialized in Historical Singing, Musicology and Music Education. My experience runs mostly in early and classical music with an active performing life, nevertheless I also have the experience and knowledge of popular musical styles such as Latin-American folk, jazz and musicals. As a docent or vocal coach I've collaborate with different academic institutions and private artistic projects, focusing mostly on international students or social integration programs. I have years of experience teaching children, teenagers and adults in both Latin-America and Europe, therefore understanding different appreciation levels and needs. My main goal is to help the student discover her or his voice while enjoying making music. **Class suggestions and indications** No experience is needed just bring your enthusiasm and favorite music. Classes can be given either in English, Spanish, French or Deutsch.
