Laure-Catherine
Singing lessons for all levels and styles in LausanneCome and discover your own voice and its possibilities with me. I am a lyric singer (mezzosoprano) and I give lessons for all levels in French, English, German and Dutch.
I am a lyrical singer, mezzosoprano, with a classical training. After starting my studies in Brussels, Belgium, I moved to Berlin, to study at the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler. This is where I got to take lessons with some of the most important singers and pianists in the business, in such an inspiring city. After living in Berlin for 2 years, I spent 6 months in New York, before coming to Switzerland in September 2019 to finish my master's degree in lyric singing at the Haute École de Musique. Apart from my training, I have already sung recitals and festivals in Berlin, New York, Los Angeles, Brussels and Vienna. I also participated in many international singing competitions; in Europe and the United States. I am especially passionate about classical music, specifically opera, but at the same time I also adore jazz, musical, and all other genres.
My goal in giving singing lessons is to help you find and develop your own voice. I want to help you become as free as possible by singing, so that singing becomes even more fun and you feel able to do with your voice what YOU want to do. The primary goal in singing and making music is to have fun above all else! I work with people from all levels; if you are just curious to experiment with your voice, want to sing classical music or something completely different ... i look forward to finding out with you!
