Classical singing for beginners, intermediate students

I have had the opportunities to teach adult and children students throughout these few years, in my home country and here in the Netherlands. While I have always been positive and active in searching solutions with the students, I often expect students to be curious and persistent in the process, so as to have an optimal progress. For adult students, the lesson will be 60 minutes; while for children, it will be around 30 minutes. For beginning/ intermediate amateur singers that have basic knowledge of reading music.

About myself: graduated cum laude in 2020 at Codarts Rotterdam from the Master of Music (Classical Singing. Active performer in the field as concert soloist and choir singer. Recent award winner at an international singing competition in Germany.

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. We’ll also bust some common myths about singing, and you’ll be amazed at how much you can learn in such a short time! It’s going to be a lot of fun!

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.

Riccardo
Singing lessons and Italian phonetics for beginners and professionals
My pedagogy is holistic in nature and is inspired by different techniques transmitted by the teachers who have guided me and continue to follow me today. The format I want to offer is as follows: first I listen to the learner to find together the best learning method, then I offer him physical warm-up exercises. I continue with vocalizations adapted to his level and his needs. Then, while applying a vocal technique aimed at the balance of the thoraco-abdominal breathing, I accompany him in reading the text for a progressive approach to the interpretation of the piece. PSI strongly recommend using the voice recorder.
