1-1 Singing Lessons (Classical), with optional Music Theory

Private, 1-1 singing lessons offered both online and in-person, for lengths of 30, 45 and 60 minutes as determined by the student.
You will learn the basics of classical singing technique, including advice on breathing and support, avoiding tension and overall sound projection. You will also get language help and tuition to help pronunciation of your music. You will learn how to become a better stage performer and grow in confidence as a singer. If you wish, I can also help with tips for improving sight-singing, and with music theory.
I am a professional countertenor, and a graduate of the Royal College of Music (MMus) and St John's College, Cambridge (BA Hons in Italian and French). I was a finalist in the Kathleen Ferrier Awards at the Wigmore Hall in 2024, and have performed as both soloist and chorister in concert venues all around the world, including the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Singapore Esplanade, Royal Festival Hall and Royal Albert Hall.
I have trained choirs with members ranging from 10 years old to over 70, so am able to teach any age as required and help with any vocal issues you may be having. As a former chorister at the King's Chapel of the Savoy, and the BBC Radio 2 Young Chorister of the Year in 2011, I know what it is like to be a young singer, so can help your child grow in confidence to meet their singing goals.

About Me

I am a professional countertenor and graduate of the Royal College of Music and St John's College, Cambridge. I have performed in venues all around the globe as both soloist and chorister, including making my Wigmore Hall debut earlier this year in the finals of the Kathleen Ferrier Awards, and have been described by Gramophone Magazine as a 'countertenor star of the future'.
My teaching is quite technique focussed; I aim to get the best possible sound from you in the most efficient way through breathing work and tongue placement in the mouth. However, as a performer, I also aim to help with any performance anxiety and to offer advice on performing, particularly to novices. As a young teacher, I aim to be vibrant and bubbly in lessons, but of course do expect my students to put in the time to practising after the lesson, and I will provide exercises for them to do.

I also teach music theory, and beginner piano lessons.

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

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.

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.

Vocal lessons - Learn how to sing and how to use your voice in everyday life
You are using your voice everyday. Speaking all day at work, or with your friends at the party, sometimes getting your voice tired. This problem is common for the people, who speak with their vocal chords making their throat and neck muscles tight. The right way of using your voice and your vocal chords is going to make your life so much easier even if you don't sing. The singing requires many skills from using your resonators and vocal chords, to a correct breathing using diaphragm. In this course I'm going to teach all levels how to use your voice not only for singing, but also to make your everyday life better and easier.

Margareta
Classical singing lesson, voice therapy and voice training
My name is Margareta, I am an opera singer, voice therapist and voice-over artist. In addition to my master's degree in music, I trained as a voice therapist and also completed further training in the Alexander technique, accent method and osteopathic techniques in voice therapy. So my life revolves around the voice. On the one hand, I offer classical singing lessons (opera, operetta, Lied, musical, rock and pop) and, on the other hand, voice therapy and voice training to prevent voice disorders and hoarseness. The main thing for me is not to use a specific method, but rather to work on each voice individually in a holistic and well-founded manner in order to develop its full vocal potential. Singing lessons are primarily about good singing technique, language coaching and assistance for more charisma and presence on stage. Through skilled training of the body and voice, you will achieve high resilience and sing at the highest level with a healthy, authentic and unique voice. This is how you become your own microphone! The most important thing: The lessons thrive on individuality and are tailored specifically to your needs and goals!
