ACDS Geneva singing lessons in the studio and online!

“Your voice is your most beautiful instrument...” “It is very difficult for our body to develop and build in a harmonious way. The history and journey of each have left their mark. As a result, we may find it difficult to sing properly and position our voice.” Singing can be learned! Singing out of tune is not inevitable. "Singing" is a vocal education through which one learns to effectively develop one's voice, have automatisms, exceed one's limits and achieve excellence in order to express one's creativity and oneself. The School Of Vocal Arts aims to provide you with all the tools necessary for your musical development. We teach and support you in a real synergy of research, creativity and innovation. We are Talent Revealers and Coaches, from an early age through to a professional career. Vocal coaching is not just a singing lesson but an in-depth research into the use of one's body (muscles, postures, breath management, emotions, etc.) in the service of the voice! The school's pedagogy is based on several years of research in vocal technique. Indeed, this unique methodology, SOVA Vocal'FiT® will allow the student to benefit from a "tailor-made" teaching, thus giving him the opportunity to express his creativity to achieve excellence. We compare the singer to a top athlete who trains with the expertise of a team to be able to perform with excellence. Physical preparation is key to becoming a complete performer. Each student benefits from a personalized program adapted to his level and his personal project. Improve your vocal technique, work on your rhythm, stage preparation, singing lessons... The coaches are, above all, artists who share their knowledge and their experiences, as well as the reality of the profession of singer, which brings to their lessons a practical dimension, appreciated by the students. They accompany you throughout your project in order to make you progress at your own pace while respecting your musical style. Each coach benefits from additional training, which allows him to integrate the SOVA Vocal'FiT® methodology, philosophy, ethics and the way the school operates. During our first meeting, a complete checkup of your voice and your project is carried out, in order to situate your level, understand and define your objectives, and target the points you wish to work on or improve. In some cases, coaching is combined with music therapy or vocal rehabilitation, through which students discover and reveal themselves. This unique coaching methodology, set up by Sabine Jacquet, founder and director of SOVA, also applies to different pathologies or disabilities, with the search for an appropriate teaching and approach. A vocal pathology is rarely irremediable! Once the pathology has been identified, voice rehabilitation, which is done in partnership with phoniatrists, speech therapists and ENT specialists, will make it possible to work in depth on psychological and bodily blockages. Voice work takes into account psychological parameters that help to fight against stress, anxieties and difficult to manage emotions. We will relearn the student to use his voice correctly and effectively develop his way of singing or expressing himself. Pushing back physical, physiological and emotional barriers is possible!! The School Of Vocal Arts is about working and revealing the secrets of your voice together!

My singing lessons are open to singers of all levels—whether you’re a professional, advanced, or beginner. Whether you want to grow as a singer, musician, or artist, feel confident on stage, or simply sing for fun, my lessons are designed to meet your individual needs. Each lesson is structured around you and adapted to your level and goals. I have a holistic approach. Our voice, mind, body, and emotions are deeply connected, and changes in one affect the others. Using this comprehensive approach will help you become a more conscious singer. In addition to vocal technique, we’ll address the mental, physical, psychological, and emotional aspects of singing, all of which are crucial for balanced vocal development and achieving your goals. These elements are intertwined, and when we understand this connection, we can fully explore our potential. Diverse Repertoire: Versatility is key to becoming an outstanding singer. My coaching covers a wide range of musical genres—from pop and jazz to musical theater and rock—so you can develop a well-rounded voice that’s confident and adaptable. With my experience as a songwriter and performer, I incorporate a variety of techniques and styles to help you unlock your potential and build a strong stage presence. If you’ve never sung before, don’t worry! I’ll help you explore your voice and develop it with exercises suited to your current abilities. If you already know what you want to focus on, you’ll take the lead in deciding what to work on. I’ll provide feedback and equip you with the tools to improve, planning your practice in a way that’s efficient and tailored to your learning style. During our lessons, I’ll help you diagnose vocal imbalances and find ways to improve your voice. We’ll set clear goals and explore new methods to use your voice how you want while keeping it healthy. With a range of techniques (such as Estill Voice Model, Modern Vocal Technique, and Complete Vocal Technique), we’ll discover the exercises and approaches that best suit you and help you achieve the sound you desire. Singing lessons will push you out of your comfort zone and help you realize that your voice has unlimited potential—it can be shaped into whatever you want it to be. Vocal health is a core part of my teaching, but technique alone doesn’t make a great singer. We’ll also work on developing your unique sound, style, and artistic choices. I can help you with performance skills and interpretation, which are where your personality shines through. Together, we’ll analyze what a song needs and how you can make it your own, so you feel confident on stage and connect with your audience without barriers or blocks. Beyond specific vocal techniques, I understand that singing is just one part of a bigger picture. Our voice, mind, body, and emotions are all interconnected, and changes in one area affect the others. My teaching takes into account these mental, physical, psychological, and emotional aspects, which are crucial to being balanced and reaching your full potential—not just as a singer but as an artist. Singing lessons will also help you strengthen other musical skills like rhythm, improvisation, and music theory. As a pianist and guitarist, I can also help you develop your skills on those instruments so you can use them in your vocal practice or to accompany yourself on stage. Singing is fun for everyone, and being a "good" singer isn’t something you’re born with. It’s shaped by your life experiences and how much you’ve allowed yourself to explore your artistic side. Some people are naturally more exposed to music, but everyone can improve and develop their voice with the right guidance. Your “natural” voice is simply the result of years of conditioning from your environment, but it’s entirely up to you to shape and change it. Book a lesson with me today and start your vocal journey!
