Tuition

 

I welcome all who are interested in taking their performance and singing skills to the next level, whether beginner or professional. Lessons are taught in an encouraging and supportive atmosphere and are based on mutual respect and shared passion for the work. I use proven techniques which enable you to build a solid vocal foundation in order to sing with ease and perform artistically.

Techniques

My teaching method is based on my vocal training with Alan Lindquest (Swedish/ Italian method), further training in the Estille method for commercial music, and my own work with famous teachers, coaches, and conductors.

Some of my students are at present performing in operas and musicals in London, while others are professional jazz and rock artists.  I run opera training workshops in the UK and teach on various opera workshops in the USA for emerging artists.

Sessions are structured for you own unique requirements.

Techniques may include:

  • Extending your range

  • Breath control

  • Intonation and pitch

  • Voice quality

  • Blending the registers

  • Stamina

  • Artistry

  • Phrasing

  • Singing and expressing with more freedom

  • Improving power and confidence

  • Your performing image

  • Characterization

  • Singing in Italian, French, German and English

  • Finding your high notes

  • Stylistic coaching for the appropriate repertoire

 

 

Vocal Rehabilitation

I can help you to:

  • Re-find your high notes and flexibility even at an older age or after illness

  • Strengthen the lower or middle voice

  • Change your speech quality and pitch through certain singing exercises

  • Close the vocal cords for beautiful singing especially after menopause

  • And for tenors – the stamina and freedom to find and maintain the high voice
