Trusted teacher: I believe everyone can sing, and it is one of the most extraordinary and fun things to do! Hello everyone! My name is Marion and I come from France. I have been a musician for as long as I can remember. I started when I was a kid as a trumpet player. I played in many different kinds of orchestras and had a lot of fun with this instrument, but it was nothing compare to my love for singing! This is why I decided to become a professional opera singer and I want to share my passion about singing! What do I offer? Classical singing lessons for all levels with a focus on opera, songs, oratorio and choir repertoire. I am based in Utrecht. You are welcome to come to my place, but I can also come to the students. Lessons can be taught in English or in French, but I also speak a little bit of Dutch. What will you learn? The fundamental elements of classical singing such as breathing, posture and resonances for example but also styles, pronunciation, interpretation and repertoire. An important aspect I want to approach in a singing lesson is how to help you find your own voice, both in a technical and in an interpretative sense. I can also guide you with anything solfège related like how to use and read a score or how to learn a song by heart. What is my philosophy about singing and pedagogy? I believe the best way to develop and improve a skill is when the students feel that they are in a safe place where they can dare to experiment but also have fun. This is an essential part of the process of music making and I try to bring fun and enjoyment to every lesson! I hope we will be in touch soon for a lesson. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, I will be happy to have a chat with you! I look forward to meeting you! About me: I started my musical studies in my home country in France, at the Conservatoire de Caen and the Conservatoire de Rennes before coming to The Netherlands where I finished my voice bachelor’s degree at Het Conservatorium van Amsterdam in June 2018. Two years later I graduated from the Dutch National Opera Academy where I performed the role of Tigrane in Händel’s Radamisto, The Countess of Dunmow in Berkeley’s A Dinner Engagement, Arsace in Graun’s Cesare and Cleopatra and Fiordiligi in Mozart's Così fan tutte. Nowadays, I am a freelance soprano working in the Netherlands and in Belgium as a soloist and as a choir singer. I often participate in productions with the choir of the Dutch National Opera in Amsterdam, the Opera Ballet Vlaanderen in Antwerp or the Groot Omroepkoor in Hilversum. I was one of the laureates of the edition 2020/2021 of the Dutch Classical Talent Tour & Award, and I recently won the Handel Choir Jubilee Award.

Trusted teacher: [ENGLISH BELOW] Unleash your vocal potential while staying comfortably at home. Historically, I preferred in-person singing lessons, but there are several situations where this is not the most accessible or even the most desired option! In 2020, I began leading group singing and vocal technique workshops online, and since then, I have been able to develop exercises that meet the individual needs of each singer in order to offer personalized programs. These exercises are based on the singing pedagogy that I studied during my singing diplomas (BAC +3, then an additional year (BAC +4 equivalent) and several short courses). The exercises take into account the physiological function of the voice and our entire body as an instrument. In these lessons, we will cover vocal techniques, breathing, voice placement as well as develop knowledge of the mechanism of the voice, articulators and muscles that stabilize breathing and breathing. We dedicate time at the end of each class to sing one or more songs to practice the techniques learned. These courses are perfect for people who do not have the opportunity to take face-to-face lessons due to weather or their geographical location, but also for those who want to start learning to sing with less anxiety. And for those who prefer to practice their English at the same time, your lessons can be in English (my mother tongue) or in French, or a mix of the two! .... Looking for an English-speaking singing teacher based in France? Unleash your vocal potential from the comfort of your own home; either in French, or English, or in a mix of both! English is my first language, so lessons in English are no problem at all, whether it's your first, second or even third + language! Why am I offering these online? Historically, I preferred in-person singing lessons, but there are several situations where this is not the most accessible or preferred option. In 2020, I started conducting online group workshops and since then, I have developed exercises that meet the individual needs of each singer to offer personalized programs. The exercises are based on the singing pedagogy I studied during my singing bachelor degree, postgraduate diploma, and short courses. They consider the physiological function of the voice and our entire body as an instrument, so are based in science, and translated into ways we can think and feel when (and before) we sing. During each lesson, you'll work on exercises for you to develop an understanding of your own voice and body-as-instrument. The exercises will help you unlock ways to engage and relax your muscles and articulators in order to both support the breath and reduce vocal fatigue. Depending on your goals, we'll dedicate a certain amount of time during each session to apply these techniques into songs you're singing, or new ones you're wanting to learn. These courses are perfect for people who do not have the possibility to take in-person lessons due to time constraints, mobility considerations or geographic location, but also for those who wish to start their singing lessons now, but are a bit anxious to meet in person at first!

Trusted teacher: Hello and welcome ! My name is Charlotte, I am a singing teacher and professional opera singer. I graduated from the Ecole Normale de Musique in Paris at the highest level with honours and I have a Masters in Opera Singing from the Trinity Laban Conservatoire in London, where I have won several prizes. I am the recipient of a prestigious scholarship from the Malvina and Denise Menda Foundation of the Fondation de France. I also have a BA in Art History from the University of Cambridge and an MA in Art History from the Courtauld Institute. I teach the principles of vocal technique that form the basis of all singing styles: finding an ideal posture and alignment of the body and the air column and eliminating unnecessary tension; optimizing breathing and support (singing with the whole body); beauty and homogeneity of the voice in all registers (homogeneity especially in lyrical singing); clear and precise articulation in all languages. Of course, these bases adapt differently depending on the styles and offer keys to freeing the voice, and not to restricting the singer! My teaching is holistic and I take into account the whole person with great sensitivity. The voice is at the center of the body and mind, and singing unifies the two. I deeply believe in the well-being that singing brings and its power to release. My life as an artist began as a classical dancer (I was a dancer in the young dancers program at the Royal Opera House, London) and this taught me a good awareness of my body and how to transmit it to others. Singing is mastered by listening to one's body. I also practice meditation and yoga at a high level and I transmit these techniques of connection to the body and breath, and the state of relaxation that they bring. In my teaching, accuracy, solfege and precision are very important. I was first a violinist and I was a member of one of the prestigious choirs of the University of Cambridge during my degree. So I have a good ear that developed further during these trainings. Singing is above all communication and my mission is to allow everyone to express their authentic and unique voice. I am passionate about theater and the art of communicating our sincere emotions and those of the characters we play. Vocal technique gives us the means, but it is the connection to oneself and to the meaning of the music and the text that allows us to express ourselves fully and sincerely. It is a work that fascinates me as much as that of vocal technique. All the more so, the connection to emotion broadens the palette of colors of the voice, without which we can only produce beautiful sound. My classes usually last an hour. Typically, I start my classes with breathing exercises and body observation. We continue with warm-ups and vocalizations to work on technique. Then we work on the repertoire of your choice. I can also advise you on the repertoire of all styles. Looking forward to reading from you and working together!

Trusted teacher: Free your voice, do you like jazz, variety, Opera, Musicals? I put my 20 years of know-how at your disposal. I started as a professional singer at the age of 17, I took my first lyric singing lesson at 19, since my beginnings, I have been lucky to be able to benefit from three types of teaching different, lyrical singing, the Richard Cross method for variety and jazz and finally the Musical. Today, I wish to share in a concrete way with you, through real moments of sharing, dynamic lessons, my experiences and the teachings that have been transmitted to me during my years of practice. Together, let's explore all the facets of your voice and open the field (song) of possibilities. I am Alexandra and I am waiting for you for an online course :) I propose an effective method in order to sing without being out of breath, without feeling bullied, I will help you find your "real" voice, by building solid foundations, learn to breathe, find support, position your voice well so that it becomes natural. Then, I introduce a technical base, to be able to successfully interpret your favorite songs, so that you gain confidence in yourself and in your instrument, I develop and I increase your technical capacities so that you can expand your voice, I lay the foundations of music theory, scales, arpeggios, vocal harmonies, vocal precision to broaden your knowledge and your musical vocabulary and so that you can gain skill in performing songs that you previously found difficult. The goal is to be able to give you the satisfaction of having your own musical style, of having complete confidence in your voice and of having perfect control over it in order to be completely autonomous in your practice. NB: Home lessons take place in St Maximin la Ste Baume, for Webcam lessons I use the Zoom software, it is essential to connect with a computer and a good quality headset.

Trusted teacher: Pleasure to sing, to express the artist in oneself... Singing is not difficult, it is simply necessary to learn to know its voice. Vocal technique should help with this and not be a difficulty to overcome :-) All styles are welcome! I help you understand how to perform the vocal gesture according to your physiology and with respect for your instrument to learn how to develop and master your vocal abilities. The pleasure of singing and the acquisition of a correct technique, easy and adapted to your voice, take a prominent place in my lessons in order to learn how to use it without difficulty and to feel real vocal comfort. Beginners? The courses are oriented on the technique and aesthetics of the voice: ° Body preparation: breathing, breath management, yoga, physiological notions... ° Technical work: vocal placement, head resonances, agility, support, projection... ° Interpretation: musical agogy, stylistic differences, diction, meaning of the text, psychology of the characters, management of emotions... Confirmed: ° Preparing for auditions ° Role study ° Preparation for entrance exams to conservatories and high schools of music Trained at the Lyon Conservatory and then at the Geneva University of Music, I acquired during my career a healthy and balanced technique, a precise awareness of the functioning of the body and the vocal apparatus as well as a good experience of the stage and of interpretation. I have a double artistic label: A professional singer, I am on the one hand a lyric soprano and perform regularly in performances of operettas, operas and in recitals. I followed, on the other hand, the course in Current Music of the National School of Music of Villeurbanne. This training and my personal practice, in concert, of the different styles of rock, pop, chanson or soul music allow me to grasp this field very concretely. Holder of a Master's degree in Pedagogy (classical singing), I have been teaching for fifteen years during which I have trained more than 150 singers and am passionate about sharing and transmitting my know-how, listening to singers and their needs. Classes are open to everyone from the age of 16, regardless of level.

Singing and Breath Work: Voice lessons for all levels (Braník)
Chaazi
I’ve had lessons with Chaazi for a few weeks now. Our lessons have been quite technical at my request. We’ve focussed on breath exercises and have practiced stretching my vocal range. The improvements and comfort in trying new songs has been remarkable. Chaazi is skilled, kind & a friendly presence. I’m delighted that our paths crossed.
