course:
I am a lyric singer, performance artist and electronic music producer from Bergen, Norway. I am mainly a classical singer (mezzo-soprano), but I have many other experiences from courses and masterclasses in CVT, ESTILL, Alexandre technique, improvisation technique and general pop singing.

Methodology:
Regardless of the genre, I usually work with key concepts for "healthy vocalization"; namely "support", body and balance, vocal placement and "projection", as well as psychology and musicality.
The first half of the lesson is usually composed of technical exercises. The rest consists in interpreting a song prepared by the student, emphasizing the incorporation of the techniques used during the exercises as well as the pronunciation and the musicality.
Most importantly: "I want you to feel that you can be the best you can be!". I want you to feel that you can be the best of yourself!

Aleksandra is great! She has an amazing voice and a great vocal techniques and tips. The class was fun and dynamic. I am sure I will progress with her
Ever wanted to write your own songs? Do you like folk singing? Are you the leader of a band or do you want to be a French Bob Dylan? With basic composition methods, I can help you create your own music. If you want to sing with electronics, a guitar, a piano or just write a text with chords it's quite possible. I will teach you basic music theory, several composition methods to start a song. Even if it's rap or heavy metal, I can help you somehow
I was born in Norway, but my mother tongue is English thanks to my British father from London. I have good language skills to learn other languages, and I have a bachelor's degree in education and music. I am a trained teacher. My method includes oral and written practice, depending on the level of the student and what he wants to learn. I really want the student to form his own sentences and try to write texts. I also have learning materials on which the student can work at home. (It is also important to know that my French is very basic and that it is difficult for me to learn English to someone who does not speak it at all).

Andrea
Learn to play the piano, read and read sheet music and sing
My name is Andrea and I am a student in Jazz (3rd year in progress), I started the piano at 6 years old and singing at 8 years old. Four years ago I took up jazz, bossa nova and modern music, which allowed me to develop my piano and vocal practice. I have been giving singing, piano and music theory lessons for three years to beginners (adults and children). I adapt to the student according to his needs and the learning method that suits him best because there are as many learning approaches as there are students! In my lessons, it is possible to learn to sing by breathing correctly and by using "the singer's muscle" (diaphragm) as well as sitting, pitch, power, vocal technique and improvisation! I also discuss harmony, music theory and ear work (FM: musical training) reading (classical and jazz score), rhythm and learning the piano! (independence of the hands, fingerings, scales, chords, inversion and enrichment of chords ...) First of all, for the shy ones, I work a lot on anchoring and self-confidence, playing and singing in front of others is not easy at first, but it's gratifying to see how much it is possible to develop our assurance!

Ever wanted to make music but felt overwhelmed or unsure where to start? Think electronic music is too complicated or requires special talent? I’ve been there. A decade ago, I faced the same challenges. Now, as a producer, composer, and DJ based in Berlin—I help others break through those barriers. I’ve performed at Abbey Road, BBC Maida Vale, and Hammersmith Apollo, and released music on 3024, Rhythm Section, Holding Hands, and more. My Teaching Approach I make music production simple and fun—whether you use Ableton, Logic, or any DAW. Beyond technique, I focus on the psychology of creativity, helping you build confidence and develop a workflow that feels natural. What You’ll Achieve ✅ Two finished tracks ✅ A clear, structured process – Start, Build, Finish ✅ Creative confidence to make music independently Let’s turn your ideas into music. 🎵

Singing lessons with an italian lyric-coloratura soprano. From opera to modern and pop. (Masters degree in singing with honours, cum Laude)
My classes are different depending on your level and age. With children from 7 to 12, we start by doing easy vocalization and start training the ear with intonation, we then have fun singing your favorite songs. With teenagers, I also start with some vocalization, a little more elaborate. Depending on the student's capabilities, we start establishing a comfortable range for them and then proceed to singing. For my older students ideally, I divide our lesson into 2 sections. We work on respiration and how the diaphragm works. We do scales and arpeggios and work on intonation. We then proceed to singing and putting into practice our technique. Some students might need more technique before they actually sing, I like to take things slowly and make sure the student feels confident and comfortable singing. I teach children, teenagers, and adults, from beginners to more advanced. Classical training enables you to sing in any kind of way, so don’t hesitate and let’s sing!

Cheslava
Piano and Singing tutor with 5 years experience and professional education
From 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.

Learn the bass differently and intuitively
This course is above all there to make you want to play bass, let it be fun! It will be based on the practice of the instrument, on the understanding and the role of the bass. The theory will be based on the progress of the practice. Step by step, practice and theory will thus be complementary, and will necessarily be useful! Have you always dreamed of being able to play bass? it's time to get started! Let the magic of music take hold of you and become the accomplished bassist you always wanted to be! Possibility of offering this course to one of your loved ones, a very appreciated gift for people who would like to embark on a musical adventure!

Sebastián
Piano Lessons (Classical Music and Non classical), Music Theory, Harmony, Musical Arrangement, Composition
At my studio my students will not only learn how to play the piano, but they will receive a complete musical education in order to achieve their musical dreams. I will give all my best so everybody will get the tools for developing their own voice, helping them to master the instrument and teaching them all the theoretical knowledge they’ll need to make their particular personality shine. Openness, joy, dedication, creativity and passion for music are some of the things that you will find in the international environment of my studio. I care about who my students are and what they have to say to the world, and I will help them to develop it from the very first lesson. In my class you will not only be able to receive piano lessons but also will learn to understand how the music works as a language. If the interest and the profile of the student goes in the direction of the purely classical music performance, the lessons will be focused on a deep and conscious piano technique development, practicing techniques, musical interpretation, history of music, history of the piano, applied harmony on the keyboard, analysis, and score reading by a method that I have developed for over 15 years of experience. And if the students wish, I can help them to prepare for the ABRSM exams and competitions as well. All this is aiming to achieve in a very practical and exciting experience the best results in the fastest way possible. But if the profile and the interests of the students goes on another way, I will give them all the tools they need to understand the language of music in depth, so they can find their own voice on the instrument. In that case the lessons will include contents of piano technique, score reading, applied harmony on the keyboard, composition, improvisation, musical arrangement, music production, recording techniques, jazz and pop music analysis and performance. Both programs can be combined depending on the focus and the profile of the student, or in case the student would like to go deeper in one of the previously mentioned subjects there is the opportunity to take an independent course of specialization on the desired topic. At the end of the semester every student will perform at the winter and summer concerts held every year and will have the possibility of making a recording session with the material worked during the term. With this, the student will not only be able to see his progress and work, but also will give him a direct experience of performing and working on a live or studio recording session, which is a fundamental part of the developing process of every musician. Hope you can join and if so, I’ll be very happy to teach you!

Amaru
Vocal Technique “Vocal Sensations” (English & Spanish)
I teach vocal technique through body awareness. We’ll dive into the essential principles of singing: breath, resonance, and articulation. We’ll start with some breathing exercises to get warmed up, followed by vocal exercises to work on technique, and then you’ll get to sing a song of your choice. We’ll also bust some common myths about singing, and you’ll be amazed at how much you can learn in such a short time! It’s going to be a lot of fun!

Denise
Singing classes in Vienna for all age students and musical styles (Online/Offline)
Dear students: My name is Denise and I'm a professional singer with a singing master's degree from Catalonia's Music College (ESMUC) specialized in Historical Singing, Musicology and Music Education. My experience runs mostly in early and classical music with an active performing life, nevertheless I also have the experience and knowledge of popular musical styles such as Latin-American folk, jazz and musicals. As a docent or vocal coach I've collaborate with different academic institutions and private artistic projects, focusing mostly on international students or social integration programs. I have years of experience teaching children, teenagers and adults in both Latin-America and Europe, therefore understanding different appreciation levels and needs. My main goal is to help the student discover her or his voice while enjoying making music. **Class suggestions and indications** No experience is needed just bring your enthusiasm and favorite music. Classes can be given either in English, Spanish, French or Deutsch. There are no limit for styles, bring your favorite music and I will provide a safe environment for your personal and musical growth. For Children I strongly recommend the 45 min class since their attention span and body development is different from an adult. Feel free to contact me in case of further questions. I would love to work together to achieve your musical goals. All my best, Denise
