Singing lessons for all ages taught by professional singer

I am a trained opera singer with 12 years of teaching experience as a choir conductor and vocal coach, and I continue to perform on the operatic and concert stage. The focus of this class is to learn healthy singing techniques which include breathing, support, posture, and vocalisation, I am happy to work with lyric, classical/pop and musical theatre repertoire - the fundamental techniques of singing are the same and we will be working towards establishing a good foundation so that you can understand your own instrument better.

The language of instruction will be mainly in English, but I am experienced in singing in English, German, Italian and French, so don't feel restricted by way of language as well. No worries if you are an absolute beginner - there is no age/gender limit or pre-requisite. Everyone has a voice, and I would love to help you find yours!

I am a first-language English speaker, with a bachelor degree in law from Singapore, a Masters Degree in Music (Distinction) and Advanced Postgraduate Diploma (Distinction) from Manchester, UK. I currently live in and sing with the opera studio in Biel, Switzerland, where I myself continue to further my skills and actively perform as a musician.

About Me

Hi! I'm a firm believer that the experience of singing, and finding one's voice, helps us to know ourselves and the world we live in better. To speak, sing, and communicate well is a something that everyone is capable of, it is a worthwhile journey that is sure to bring much joy.

I am originally from Singapore, and I trained to be a lawyer for my bachelor studies years ago. However, I had always been very passionate about music and was actively involved in performing and teaching it. Whether in operas, classical recitals, choir concerts, recordings, a cappella and musical theatre singing, I was fortunate to have experienced it all. Thus, although I qualified to be a lawyer in 2013, I decided to pursue my passion for singing full-time, and I have since completed my Advanced Postgraduate Diploma and Masters in Music Performance in the UK, both with Distinction. I am currently studying at the Swiss Opera Studio in Switzerland, and I continue to perform internationally as an opera singer and on the concert platform. I myself continue to take lessons and learn - for singing is a lifelong refining - but I am dedicated to sharing what I know with anyone who might be interested. Do join me if you are interested in finding your voice! All it takes is a small step of faith. :)

Tired of beating peaches now become the best in the matter
With me you will have the opportunity to improve considerably in the area that you have gaps but especially to get the best grades in your class in this area because I raises the bar very high. You will then realize the real abilities you have in the matter in which you have always thought you were execrable. My classes will adapt to the person I teach because I have great flexibility. I can not therefore give a precise description as to the way I will give the course or its course. But one thing is certain, you will only have excellent grades in subjects that have always been a problem for you. I promise you!

Frank
French and English classes. / Cours de Français et Anglais
Being bilingual has never been as important as it is today. Work, studies, travels, entrepreneurship, competitiveness, Hell! Nowadays, even building friendships and romances may require more than one language. I called my teaching approach ELM. Although I do like elm trees, it is in fact an acronym for Effective Language Mastery. I strongly believe that the effectiveness and speed of language learning greatly depend on the learner's motivation. Which is why the type and content of my courses are never twice the same. During the first meeting, I ask a few questions with the intention of discovering your learning type and what drives you to learn. Once this is done, I spend the period separating our first and second encounter building a teaching plan that suits you. Hence the "effectiveness". Naturally, the usual types of courses - General, Conversation focused, Business, Exam preparation - are available as well. As language teaching has been my passion for a very long time, my students' goals become mine as well. ---- Être bilingue n'a jamais été aussi important qu'aujourd'hui. Le travail, les études, les voyages, l'esprit d'entreprise, la compétitivité! De nos jours, même les amitiés et les relations amoureuses peuvent nécessiter plus d'une langue. J'ai appelé mon approche pédagogique ELM. Bien que j'aime les ormes, il s'agit en fait d'un acronyme pour Effective Language Mastery (Maîtrise efficace des langues). Je crois fermement que l'efficacité et la rapidité de l'apprentissage d'une langue dépendent en grande partie de la motivation de l'apprenant. C'est pourquoi le type et le contenu de mes cours ne sont jamais deux fois les mêmes. Lors de la première rencontre, je pose quelques questions dans le but de découvrir votre type d'apprenant et ce qui vous pousse à apprendre. Une fois cette étape franchie, je consacre la période qui sépare notre première et notre deuxième rencontre à l'élaboration d'un plan d'enseignement qui vous convient. Naturellement, les types de cours habituels - général, axé sur la conversation, affaires, préparation aux examens - sont également disponibles. L'enseignement étant ma passion depuis fort longtemps, les objectifs de mes étudiants deviennent également les miens.
