    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    I am a singer and singing teacher from London, living and working in Geneva.
    I have loved singing since I was a little girl, having performed my first solo at the age of four. Nothing brings me greater joy than helping my students find freedom and joy in their own singing. No two voices are the same. I will teach you simple and effective techniques to improve tone quality, tuning and confidence so you can be the best you can be! The focus is on integrating body and voice, using a holistic approach that allows students to find their own way of singing and their own voice. I am classically trained but love teaching all styles of singing including jazz, pop, rock and contemporary. I can travel to your home to teach you or you are welcome to come to my studio in Gaillard. I also offer online lessons. Lessons in English or French.

I graduated with a Master's degree in Pedagogy from the Haute Ecole de Musique de Genève and give flute lessons in a music school in France as well as private lessons in Geneva.

    Trumpet and solfege lessons while having fun and having fun!
    Learning while having fun is tempting! I offer you a gentle and playful approach to the trumpet, through the pleasure of playing with good sensations on the instrument. To do this, I adapt to your desires and needs and guide you as best as possible towards your goals. I work in the Geneva area and am studying for a Masters in Pedagogy at the Geneva University of Music. Throughout my schooling, I was able to develop my knowledge and my pleasure of playing the trumpet. Meeting great trumpet players and teachers allowed me to understand multiple ways of approaching this instrument. The acquisition of a degree in musicology, a DEM in trumpet and then a Bachelor in Trumpet as well as experience in different formations (reggae, French song, pop/rock, bigband, symphonic orchestra, baroque ensemble, chamber music, contemporary music, ...), plus experience as a trumpet teacher in music school, a Bafa/Juleica and a crazy love for music and in particular the trumpet, allows me to assure you that you will find something to satisfy you!

    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!

    Penelope
    Fun Time Singing Musical Songs with Kids & Adults 💛
    VOCAL lessons are divided into 2 parts - 1) Warmup Exercise and 2) Singing Exercise. We do both parts in every lessons. Ideally we spend every 2-3 sessions for each song. For kids, a 30-min online lesson / 45-min face-to-face lesson would be long enough for their attention. For adults, it's good to start with a 50-min online lesson! Also, we do music appreciation occasionally during the session. Some other learning materials like music videos are applied based on song choices.

    Francesca
    Italian soprano offers coaching of Italian Pronunciation for singers
    As an Italian Opera singer, I help since many years singers with the right pronunciation of the repertoire they sing, helping them in shaping the language in a clear way, which also helps the singing. Our lesson will involve speaking, pronunciation exercises and singing. We will start the lesson by reading the text and finding the right direction and emphasis. We will focus on the sounds and how to produce them. In the second part of the lesson, we will apply all of the above to the singing!
