The art of singing: breathing techniques, ancient music, lyrical, interpretation, theory

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Lyric, Baroque and traditional singer gives singing lessons, vocal technique, interpretation, musical culture at home (Paris 8)

After studying in Poland (Master of performing arts - opera singing) I came to France to deepen my knowledge of Baroque repertoire, style and period ornamentation.
Early music becomes my specialization, however my second passion is contemporary music, however I master the classical and romantic repertoire.
My mind is open to all musical styles: I practiced realistic song, singing variety and - with great success - the traditional Slavic song.
Since my musical education is established by the theoretical foundations (Bachelor in musicology at the Sorbonne), I would be delighted to share my experiences in this discipline during singing lessons, or to teach them separately.
I also teach small piano lessons and music theory lessons for beginners.

Classes are conducted in French, but when I am Polish, I could give in Polish or English too.

A course can last from 1h up to 1,5h. It's up to you.

In exceptional cases I can come to your home, but mainly I give lessons at home (Paris Rome-Batignolles).

It's a joy for me to be able to introduce myself as a teacher. I think it's a very responsible and fascinating job that can lead to very nice encounters and exchanges between priceless people!

As a beginner, I didn't know what to expect from my first operatic singing lesson. But Helena was able to demonstrate great pedagogy, patience and professionalism with me to help me discover the techniques and repertoire of lyrical singing. It's always a great pleasure to work with her, and the more I learn, the more exciting I find it.

Polish course by a Polish native to all levels, French for foreigners, at home (Paris 8) I give Polish language courses for French people of Polish origin who want to learn their mother tongue, or for foreigners who want to visit Poland, go work there, move ... for students from the Polish language to the Sorbonne, and also for all those who have the curiosity to know this language for leisure! Polish is my native language, I did all my education in Poland, always being very passionate about Polish literature. I am also fascinated by etymology. In Polish you find more French words than you expect! Since my profession is lyrical and baroque, I have a lot to do with the pronunciation of European languages. I found my own key to the best understanding and memorization of consonants that are not easy in Polish! Since I know very well the classical repertoire and the Polish variety, I could help you to translate and pronounce the Polish songs!

Lessons in Songwriting and strengthening the Ear. Guitar, Vocals, Piano, Midi Instruments, General Music Theory, etc.
I am excited to offer my new classes I recently developed while teaching in NYC at a children's music school. My initial approach will first be to understand the desires within my student (aka the artist) While I can teach beginner music theory, I do not believe this is necessary for one to write music. However, if the student would like to understand this, I can provide lessons on general theory. My primary intention is to identify the student's core strengths and use them to help them create the music that they wish to create. I have collaborated with artists like Bakithi Kumalo (Paul Simon's bass player) Itaal Shur (Multi-Grammy award winner and Composer of "Smooth" by Santana) and Haydn Bendall (Kate Bush's chief engineer)

Margareta
Classical singing lesson, voice therapy and voice training
My name is Margareta, I am an opera singer, voice therapist and voice-over artist. In addition to my master's degree in music, I trained as a voice therapist and also completed further training in the Alexander technique, accent method and osteopathic techniques in voice therapy. So my life revolves around the voice. On the one hand, I offer classical singing lessons (opera, operetta, Lied, musical, rock and pop) and, on the other hand, voice therapy and voice training to prevent voice disorders and hoarseness. The main thing for me is not to use a specific method, but rather to work on each voice individually in a holistic and well-founded manner in order to develop its full vocal potential. Singing lessons are primarily about good singing technique, language coaching and assistance for more charisma and presence on stage. Through skilled training of the body and voice, you will achieve high resilience and sing at the highest level with a healthy, authentic and unique voice. This is how you become your own microphone! The most important thing: The lessons thrive on individuality and are tailored specifically to your needs and goals!
