About Me

Currently in Pre-Hem School of Music at EJMA, I am preparing for my entry into the Bachelor program to deepen my knowledge and refine my teaching skills.

I started music at the age of 5, with the piano as my first instrument which I practiced for 7 years before discovering my passion for singing. Since then, I have acquired strong technical skills in singing and significant experience in performance.

Open-minded, I love all styles of music, but my preferences are mainly towards pop and jazz, which allow me to explore the richness of musical sounds and emotions.

I am convinced that everyone can develop their own vocal style by working with passion and focusing on the fundamentals. That's why I'm excited to share my skills, passion, and motivation with you to help you discover or improve your voice. Join me for dynamic and personalized singing lessons that will allow you to reveal your full vocal potential.

Education

Graduated from Gymnase de Beaulieu in June 2022, with a Gymnasial Maturity in Music as a specific option.
Currently undergoing Pre-Higher School of Music training at EJMA (Ecole de Jazz et Musique Actuelle) in Lausanne.

Experience / Qualifications

I have been playing the piano since I was 7 years old, and singing since I was 12 years old.
I have worked with Jessanna Nemitz, Joanne Gaillard, and Muriel Dubuis as vocal coaches.

CROSS-GENRE TEACHING - BECAUSE YOUR VOICE IS AT THE CROSS-GENDER OF ALL MUSIC A cross-genre teaching promotes a generic and exhaustive application of the principles of vocal anatomy, physiology and acoustics, unlike traditional teaching, whose cleavages between the specificities of so-called classical genres - choral, lyrical or operatic singing - and modern - pop, rock, jazz, musicals etc ... limit the field of exploration. Your voice is a unique and intelligent instrument, capable of producing a multitude of qualities of sounds and timbres, of evolving according to your range and of coordinating complex respiratory and laryngeal muscular work. Your voice remains unique, however. She has found a more or less comfortable genre of predilection, in accordance with your anatomy, your family, musical and linguistic culture. A cross-gender education will allow you to use laryngeal, acoustic and respiratory mechanisms specific to one gender or another, in order to - develop your natural palette find out what kind of music your instrument flourishes best in explore various vocal qualities, laryngeal and acoustic balances and stylistic effects to serve above all the song you are working on dare other forms of singing such as - Musical, Pop, Rock or Jazz, Classical or Opera PHYSIOLOGICAL AND ACOUSTIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE VOICE Learn to master the tools of healthy and comfortable vocal production.

Jules
Vocal technical coaching (all styles) and singing (lyrical) on Lausanne and its surroundings
How to learn to sing? To sing just and well? To answer these complex questions, I was interested in phonatory mechanisms, with speech therapists and phoniatres, I studied singing with a dozen singing teachers, I participated in many Masterclasses and trained myself in different institutions: first at the conservatories of Vaulx-en-Velin and Mâcon, then at the Regional Conservatory of Montpellier, and finally at the Haute Ecole de Musique in Lausanne where I am currently studying with Leontina Vaduva. It is first of all through passion that I want to convey what I have learned. This is felt, according to the words of my students, in my way of teaching which reconciles the rigor of art and the pleasure of singing. In my pedagogical approach, I clearly separate the vocal technique and the art of singing, that is to say the management of an objective mechanism, physical and physiological, of sound production (articulation of the language, management of the pressures subglottic and supra-glottic to achieve a pneumo-phono-resonantial balance), and the shaping of this sound to achieve musical beauty (make a beautiful "legato" line, tempo variations, nuances, etc.). ). When I start with a new student, I first make a diagnosis to determine the range of the voice, the level of resonantial passages, and check the health of the larynx (tonicity, endurance, flexibility). The typical course begins with vocal technique exercises and ends with the work of a musical piece. I adapt my course according to the needs of each one (for example, I can start with a Feldenkreis or Alexander technique exercise, relaxation, breath, or a physical warm-up), but also according to the desires and tastes of the student (the technical part will last more or less long). Considering that the stage is important for personal fulfillment and to set goals in music, I propose to my students to participate in the auditions and group lessons of the music school where I work in Lutry.
