Singing lessons highlights
I believe in a holistic approach to singing - your instrument is your whole body! And that gets affected by your mind, so I will be working with you on your approach to singing, helping you to gain confidence, believe in yourself and your abilities through motivation and... practice, lots of practice. The techniques I will use might include Lax Vox, Buteyko's works on breathing, Classical Training and Bel Canto, Galeska-Tritt's school of singing, and many more. I follow a structured curriculum and lesson plans, tailored to studets of various levels and ages to make sure you will get exactly what you need. I am integrating expressive teaching methods and leading by example and implementing interactive online tools to ensure the best learning experience for you. I aim to nurture a deep understanding and love for music in all of my students.
