Tutoring Approach:

I have years of experience as a professional singer and voice coach and I work with singers from all over the world. Teaching voice and singing is my passion, and all my coaching sessions are tailored to suit the individual's goals and abilities. Whether you are an experienced singer or actor that wants to develop your existing skills to the next level or a beginner who wants to be introduced to the joy of music for the first time, I can't wait to hear from you!

Additionally, lessons can be enriched further with piano lessons for beginners, for the students to be able to accompany themselves when singing.

In a friendly and relaxed environment, my lessons combine the enjoyment of singing with technical pursuits and are an even mix of technique, repertoire, musicality and performance.

More specifically, the classes can cover a wide range of areas including:

Vocal Health & Technique
Breathing, Posture & Support
Power, Projection
