Practice Techniques and Musician's Mindset: Developing Confidence and Competence in Any Musician

من 3406.44 EGP /س

Studying music can be a great joy and source of profound fulfillment, but it can also be stressful and overwhelming. Learning how to balance workloads, develop practice habits that actually work for you, and also trying to avoid falling into the trap of comparing yourself to other artists can feel like an insurmountable task. Music also tends to lead the musician into perfectionism, and a feeling that no matter what you do, you're never really measuring up.

I am in the last semester of a Masters program in Vocal Performance. Throughout the 7 years I have studied voice academically throughout my Associates degree, Bachelors degree, and now my Masters degree, I've had to learn how to develop a more holistic approach towards my music studies, and strengthen my relationship to myself and my voice. In this class, I will share everything that I've learned in my journey, and tips on how to approach practice in a way that feels manageable, and yes, even enjoyable! We will discuss how to develop a mindset that can work FOR you, not against you. By the end of this class, I guarantee that you will feel happier as a musician, you will have a handle on how to structure practice sessions and tailor them to your specific needs, and you will feel confident as a musician, and perhaps also as a person.

من أنا؟

Hello!

My name is Emma. I'm a Mezzo-Soprano based in New York in the last year of my master's degree in Opera. I believe that singing can (and should!) be fun, enjoyable, and fulfilling for anyone who wants to do it. I have a very holistic approach to voice, and I like to focus on building up confidence for any singer. In my lessons, we're always going to try to sing loud and proud. If your voice cracks? No big deal! If you make a mistake? It's not the end of the world! If you make an "ugly" sound? We can always fix it later. I will teach my students not to be afraid of exploring the full capabilities of their voice, and also not to be afraid of having fun while deepening your studies into this incredible art form.

In our Oud class, I will guide you through everything from basic to advanced techniques. We will cover playing for all levels, correct left-hand use, synchronizing with the right hand, handling the pick, tuning the Oud, and effectively using a tuner and metronome. In the remaining time, we will dive into reading musical notes, starting with basic Solfege and progressing to advanced and oriental Solfege, including dictation exercises. This comprehensive approach ensures a well-rounded musical journey

My recommendation for learning the Oud is to begin by studying musical notes and notation before delving into songs. While some students prefer to jump straight into playing songs, understanding the fundamentals of music notation accelerates progress in the long run. Dedication and hard work can yield significant progress within a year, enabling you to play simple tunes.

Feel free to leave me a message, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Vocal coaching develops a strong singing voice while boosting self-confidence, clarity, and inner harmony. A good coach helps you discover your unique voice, encouraging risk-taking and individuality, which enhances performance confidence. Clarity comes from understanding vocal mechanics, improving breath control and diction, allowing for better emotional expression in music and daily communication. Achieving harmony involves aligning vocal expression with emotions, fostering inner peace and fulfilment.

Having performed at prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall, La Scala in Milan, and the Staatsoper Berlin, I’ve worked with some of the most respected artists in both classical and contemporary music. My method empowers singers to develop their voices with confidence, ease, and expressive depth, regardless of their genre.
