Professional mezzosoprano offers singing lesson to children and adults!
Hello,
I’m Elena, I’m Italian and I’m an opera singer :)
I’ve been training children and teens for 10 years, especially helping them with auditions and tests. I’ve been singing in theaters almost all my life since I started when I was just 8; nowadays I work as a professional mezzo-soprano all around the world both in educational projects for kids and children and in big productions.
I like teaching because I can share my experience with somebody that needs it and I always get to learn something from my pupils too: I swear teaching makes me a better singer.
I give lessons for any kind of purpose:
- learning music
- improving musicality
- preparing an audition
- finding our own voice
- overcoming insecurity
Everybody is different, so everybody has their own path to go through; I cater my lessons to the pupil’s needs, and even if the method is always classical, I make sure that the hour of lesson is a fun moment as well as a learning experience.
Music is life and life is fun!
If what you have read interests you, I’m here to answer all your questions, so don’t be afraid: write me and I’ll see how I can help you!
During the trial lesson, we will take the time to get to know each other better, assess levels and goals, and start to work on them already.
I can’t wait to meet you!

About Me
I teach voice both to adults and to children basing my method on my classical training and practical experience as a child, singing in opera houses. But I would like to point out that as far as teaching to children goes, I don’t like to push them over the natural limit of the human voice. I like to always be sure that the path I’m guiding my pupils on is first of all a healthy one!So what you can expect from my classes is a solid ground on how the body works, how to breathe correctly, and a good amount of vocalises and exercises. On top of that of course, we end up singing something! Fun isn’t forgotten ;)
Education
Born in Milan in 1994, she graduated magna cum laude at the “Giuseppe Verdi” Conservatoire in Milan, pursuing both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees under the guidance of Silvana Manga. She took part in several masterclasses with Maestri Bonfadelli, Cuberli, D’Intino, Lanzillotta, Ligorio, Lowe, Luisi, Mameli, Mianiti, Pittaluga, Prina, Santoro, Sicca and Taddia.Experience / Qualifications
From 2003 to 2013 she has been a member of the children choir of La Scala Theater, under Bruno Casoni and Alfonso Caiani’s direction, taking part in every opera in which the children were required, and performing in a number of concerts with Filarmonica Orchestra of La Scala Theater, “Orchestra dei Pomeriggi Musicali”, RAI National Symphony Orchestra, and Symphony Orchestra of Milan “Giuseppe Verdi”. In 2005 she got her first solo role at La Scala in Tannhäuser under the baton of Jeffrey Tate. In the following years, she performed as a soloist in several operas, such as Macbeth (2008), A Midsummer Night’s Dream (2009), Tannhäuser (2010), Die Zauberflöte (2011), Tosca (2011 and 2012) and Peter Grimes (2012), working with Kazushi Ono, Sir Andrew Davis, Zubin Mehta, Roland Böer, Omer Meir Wellber, Nicola Luisotti and Robin Ticciati. Meanwhile, she had the opportunity to sing as a soloist in several concerts with Filarmonica Orchestra of La Scala under the baton of Gustavo Dudamel, Roberto Abbado, and Pinchas Steinberg, to name a few. Those years marked her professional debut with other Italian companies as well, such as Bologna’s Opera House and MITO Festival.In 2015 she made her debut in the role of Lola in Cavalleria Rusticana at Teatro Filodrammatici (Milan) working with the emergent director Gianmaria Aliverta, leading to a successful strike of experiences: just the following year she sang Mrs Baggott in The Little Sweep by Benjamin Britten for the Accademia Teatro alla Scala, and made her debut as Cherubino for the OperaStudio project of the Conservatoire of Milan. Being part of the Accademia del Belcanto “Rodolfo Celletti” in Martina Franca for two years (2015 and 2016), she worked in the 41st and 42nd Edition of the Festival della Valle d’Itria, where she performed in the Il barbiere di Siviglia as Rosina, in Paisiello’s La grotta di Trofonio, and in Baccanali by Agostino Steffani, which, as a first rendition in modern times, was also live recorded by Dynamic. For the most part of 2017 she was undertaken to a tour through Italy produced by AsLiCo singing Rosina once again. Moreover, she was Venere in Il ballo delle Ingrate, played at the Conservatoire “Verdi” in Milan for the “450Monteverdi” project. 2018 has been an incredible year, singing in many productions: Flora in La traviata directed by Roberto Catalano, Modestina in Il Viaggio a Reims with Michele Spotti and Carmen -title role- in AsLiCo’s productions; she has also tackled the roles of Angelina (La Cenerentola) and la Ciesca (Gianni Schicchi) both under Gianmaria Aliverta’s direction.
Moreover she took part in the first edition of the Antigua Opera Society, the first operatic festival set to take place in Antigua and Barbuda in order to promote music and culture as powerful educational instruments for the children of the country. The show was very successful, leading to a 2019 comeback.
Albeit Carmen being a permanently recurring role in the years, even in the shape of the hugely acclaimed La tragédie de Carmen under Aliverta’s direction, she hasn’t neglected baroque music, singing in “Monteverdi Festival 2019” at Teatro Ponchielli, Cremona. After being on tour with Suor Angelica (La Suora Zelatrice) through the theatres of Livorno, Novara and Rovigo, in 2021 she sang into an operatic movie production with Teatro Massimo di Palermo to be live broadcasted. During the pandemics she has attended the YAP Program at Teatro Comunale di Bologna, where she has been involved in many concerts throughout the last years.
Summer 2022 has marked the beginning of an exciting new course of career, verging around contemporary music and arts, under the guidance of Alda Caiello. She has significantly expanded her repertoire ever since, which now comprises both ensamble works (Jakob Lenz in Torre del Lago), solo roles (the three female lead roles of Lamberto! by Alberto Cara have been written specifically for her) and music chamber, from the neoclassical Canti popolari by Berio, sung in Montepulciano, to the avant-gardes of Stockhausen - Tierkreis and Dallapiccola - Goethe Lieder, not missing the cabaret
of Walton’s Façade. After having sung the role of Rahab in Paolo Marzocchi’s touching Stabant Matres, a sacred opera-oratorio, she is now working at the creation of the world première of Matteo Franceschini’s new opera: Dorian Gray, libretto by Stefano Simone Pintor, which will première March 2024 with the Haydn Foundation.

Elena is wonderful teacher
Amazing teacher. My daughter loved her class.
First lesson and my daughter is already looking for the next one. Thank you, Elena.
Great teacher! She knows what she is doing and makes me feel comfortable actually working on my voice. Really looking forward learning more from her.

Hello!
Being a singer and a singing teacher, many many times I have found myself in the situation of having to work on ear training, or solfège, or music theory... or all the above listed!
Approaching music and having no clue of these elements can totally be intimidating and off-putting, but in 2023 I feel like it’s a pity that these subject still are looked at with such a fear. I want to prove to you that building these basic knowledge can be easy, accessible and not heavy at all!
My program is not fixed: I’ll build it on your specific needs, wether they are preparing an exam, curiosity, getting better at pitch matching... we will discuss together. I have many books and material, and I honestly prefer to draw blackboards by myself a lot of times. Unless you will want to, I won’t ask you to buy any material, so the only cost that you will have to sustain, is for the time of the class.

Send a message explaining your needs and Elena will reply soon:
The more detail, the better.

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!

- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.
