Singing Lessons for Over 55 - It is never to late to learn singing!
It is never too late and everyone can learn how to sing. Ask Patrick 72 y.o. from Ireland.
Before joining my singing classes, all his life he was told by friends and family to stop singing as he was always out of tune (very mean I would say....).
Anyway, he started the lessons and he was so committed that he learned a Frank Sinatra song in a month and after 6 weeks he was learning a song by himself: another standard jazz. After 3 months of weekly lessons, at the end of the course, he sent me a video of him singing with his son playing guitar at a family gathering. It was a success! He was a born performer and he never knew. Nobody knew!
So, as I said, it is never too late for learning to sing, and don't let anyone (not even you) to stop you from singing if this is what you love or you are passionate about. Give yourself a chance: you can learn singing like any other skill. If Patrick did it, you can too. I always say: "if you can talk, you can sing!"
The lessons for +55 are tailor-made around your abilities and goals so that you can have faster results.
With these singing lessons, you will learn how to sing in tune, how to learn your fave song, how to put emotions into the songs, to express who you really are through singing, and to give color and shades to your voice so that you can have fun singing. You will learn how to learn a new song and adapt it to your voice (not the opposite!) so that you can enjoy singing with friends and family.
How to find your real voice and how to control it
Learning tools and exercises to keep you practicing and getting every day better at singing
how to learn a song and how to remember the lyrics with my "Better Voice Method" that I still use for myself
you will discover new shades and colors of your voice
You will learn your fave song
breathing technique and how to use it to sing better
how to put emotions in your songs
how to prepare and sing a song while playing the guitar
how to control your voice and sing better both with low and high notes
...and more

feeling your emotions and sing at your best even if you feel anxious or nervous before a live performance
stage performance and singer's mindset
you will learn exercises to face your fears and don't be bothered by comments and criticism (self-criticism included)

Singing lessons from a professional singer in Amsterdam. Technique, body and mind connection. Learn to sing freely, healthily and with ease. Welcome 👋Our private lessons are usually divided in this order:
1. mental and physical check in + grounding in your instrument (which is your body) and stretching, shaking loose etc. I teach you how to stretch your tongue and why it is important.
2. Breathing! I will teach you how to breathe to your diaphragm. I will teach you how to create a breath support by breathing. This ensures that you will need much less breath and can produce much more sound! This can work wonders and I want you to experience and feel that.
3. Warming up the voice. We are going to make sounds! First we are going to wake up your voice. I will let you feel the difference between your chest voice and your head voice (and everything in between). I will teach you how to make sounds safely, sing safely without damaging your voice. I will teach you how to sing higher and lower. When I see that your muscles tense while singing, I will give you techniques to relax them. We are going to make many different sounds with a piano as accompaniment. I will explain to you why we make each sound and what this does to our voice.
4. Singing a song. You can choose a song that you like to sing. We can also choose this together. You are going to sing nicely. Your voice is already nicely warmed up. Sometimes I will interrupt you to adjust something.
At the end of the lesson I will give you some homework. I always send a message to my students.
Lesson duration: 1 hour or 1 hour and 30 minutes
Qualifications: Professional Jazz and Soul singer. I perform in various places in and around Amsterdam. I have been teaching singing to various students for half a year.
Who are my lessons intended for?
Age: 11 to infinity.
Level: All levels are welcome in my classes.

Cheslava
Piano and Singing tutor with 5 years experience and professional educationFrom my childhood I have been studying music and art: sang in choir and solo, played piano, painted, studied music history and literature, solfeggio. Later in college I have also learned choir conducting, had ensemble and choir singing lessons,
cultural studies.
During last year in university I had pedagogy practice at university and at private art school (where I worked as a music tutor before the war - piano, voice). I truly enjoyed working with students. They all were different age (8 - 40+ years old) and level. But all were very interesting and work was pleasant.
My education was very various: my core subjects were conducting, choir, voice, piano. So it allowed me to work with children, teens and adults with quite wide range of interests and needs: some students needed/wanted to learn particular composition(s), sometimes pop songs arrangements, some were interested in “introduction” to the music, some wanted to renew skills they gained in their childhood and continue their journey to the music world. In addition I prepared presentations (which contained information about cultural and historical background and musical and character/art analysis).
So after graduation from choir conducting faculty (which allowed me to deepen my knowledge in many important compatible branches) I concentrated on studying classical singing and piano, expanded my cultural studies and analysis knowledge, practiced solfeggio and harmony.
