Vocal and music theory lessons - breathing - posture
We will find your needs together and start working from that point. You can come with no experience at all and I will help you to explore and develop your voice. It's also not important if you cannot read music, I can help you with that as well. If you are already a singer, we will work in order to refine your technique.
Voice, breathing, and posture are connected and fundamental for a healthy technique so we will also work on that while we focus on your voice.
Singing can be very personal and confronting but do not fear, we work in a safe environment.
Let yourself be surprised with what you can achieve!!
The lesson can be in English, Spanish, Portuguese, or Italian.

About Me
My name is Leonor and I am from Lisbon. I started my music studies at the age of 5 with the transverse flute and this was the instrument that became part of my everyday life until my early twenties. After a Bachelor's in Public Relations and almost 3 years working in a media agency, I decided to turn my life completely to music and started my studies in classical voice at Conservatorium Maastricht. The journey in the Netherlands brought me to Rotterdam where I live now and from where I am starting my career.During my study years, I have always liked to observe teachers and my fellow colleagues and discuss with them about teaching and trying to find solutions to problems related to singing. I find the voice the most unique and curious instrument because we cannot actually see it, replace it, or touch it. The findings one can do during practice can feel overwhelming, challenging, and exciting! I have gone through many phases with singing and gained so much knowledge that now I trust that I can, and I would love to share.

Vocal and Music Lessons/ Free the voice / Enjoy SingingTwo worlds
I was born within two worlds, the East and the West; the folklore music of central Greece and the classical one. A major factor in the formation of my musicality comes from the tight relation of my family with Greek traditional music. However, music of any kind was always welcome at my home. Inspired by my father who is also a singer, I got involved in choir singing and started piano lessons. Opting for singing was a choice that gave me the freedom to express my mind.
R’n’B & Latin
At my first piano lessons, I realised how music is put on paper and the importance of it. At about the same time I started singing in the school choir of my secondary school and I kept being between the lead voices of the high school choir. That was the point where I practiced the different voice harmonies and got over my teenage reluctance by singing in front of the public. At the sweet age of 14, I developed a special interest in R’n’B and soul music. Later on, I got involved in the pop and rock scene but suddenly, Latin jazz music attracted my interest.
One of the reasons I fell in love with Latin music is because I feel that each emotion is manifested at its maximum glory. Latin music is a mixture of cultures and backgrounds; it is the fusion of European harmony brought to the colonies with African rhythms like Cuban music was brought to New York.
Singing as a vocal discovery
I consider myself a people’s person. When teaching I have the need to welcome the student into a safe environment of acceptance where music can happen. In order for the student to let go of personal timidness, mutual trust comes with time yet is necessary. I prioritise my students’ needs; teach them the technical aspects they should know so as to develop a healthy instrument but also coach them so that they develop their taste in music.
Because I have been singing various styles through my career, I believe I am quite a chameleon of styles (Latin, Brazilian, Jazz, Pop, Greek). In my lessons I find helpful to use some mini percussion so that the singer can establish an internal metronome. I am very supportive with each individuals’ needs and goals, that is why I always make a personal profile of my students and their progress and also ask them to design their personal dream board. All in all, I always use a combo of methods and adapt at the personal needs of the student.
Singing for me is always a vocal discovery and this is what I would like to help my students achieve. The essential idea is to develop a healthy instrument with which you can express through the good and bad days. I have been studying with different teachers around the Netherlands (Codarts alumni) and Greece and during this time I have realised that learning can happen anywhere and anytime.

Karolina
Vocal Lessons in Rotterdam or Den Haag / BA Jazz Music (Vocals) / MA Music Therapy / Orff Schulwerk Approach for ChildrenHello!
My name is Karolina and I am a professional singer, as well as an upcoming music therapist. I studied Jazz Music at Prins Claus Conservatorium in Groningen and at the moment I am completing my Master studies in Music Therapy at the ArtEZ Conservatorium in Enschede, The Netherlands. I also hold a degree of the Orff Approach (Orff Schulwerk), a developmental approach used in music education, which combines music, movement, and speech and it is a great approach for children 4-8 years old.
I specialize in jazz and Brazilian repertoire, but I also teach Greek folk singing.
The lessons are designed according to the needs of each student. Some of the focusing areas are listed below:
1. Vocal Technique:
We focus on vocal technique elements such as breath control, vocal range, the use of all registers, and timbres of
your voice. The goal is to sing effortlessly. With the vocal technique, you will get the chance to explore your voice
and build confidence in your voice.
2. Repertoire:
Together we can build your repertoire step by step and focus on the phrasing of each style. You will choose the
repertoire you like and you can always ask for advice in case you want to explore new musical styles. A great time
of enjoyment during classes where you will be singing your heart out!
3. Improvisation:
Vocal improvisation is a great way to explore the voice and also express your feelings. It will also boost your
creativity and musicality. Specific exercises can also guide you through this process step by step and in that way
we will explore vocal improvisation.
FOR CHILDREN (4-8 years old):
I am specialized in music education for children 4-8 years old. Using the Orff Approach children will have a great creative time for themselves where they learn music by using their whole body. Experiencing and learning music through playing!
Suggested Duration for Lessons for Children: 30-45min depending on the age.
I am looking forward to starting an inspiring musical journey with you!

Musical Mayhem: Fun and Creative Lessons for All!!.Hey there,
Are you in need of a talented and fun-loving music teacher? Well, look no further! I'm your gal.
First of all, let me just say that I love music. Like, seriously love it. And there's nothing that brings me more joy than sharing that love with others. That's why I've spent the last decade of my life teaching music theory, performance, and technique to students of all ages and levels.
But here's the thing, I don't believe that music has to be all serious and stuffy. In fact, I think that learning music should be a fun and enjoyable experience. That's why I strive to create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere in my lessons, complete with jokes, puns, and maybe even some karaoke sessions (if you're lucky).
Now, don't get me wrong, I take my job seriously. I have a Bachelor's degree in Music Education and a Master's degree in Music Performance, so you can rest assured that I know my stuff. But I also believe that learning music should be a joyful and exciting journey.
So, if you're looking for a music teacher who can not only teach your students how to make them laugh, then look no further. I'm your girl. Let's make beautiful music together!

Improve your singing in this Quarantine! (online: skype, zoom, or another telecommunication)Did you always wanted to improve your singing but you never had the time?
If you're up for some creativity in this Quarantine weeks, I offer you singing classes through Skype.
I suggest to work on 3 main aspects, which are divided into LEI (Learning, Exploring, Interpret + info below):
- REPERTOIRE (Learning): Choose a song you love
- TECHNIQUE (Exploring): Let's discover all you can do with your own instrument, your voice. I will give you some techniques to extend the possibilities in your Voice ('Embodied Voice', + info below)
- INTERPRETATION (Interpret): there are infinite ways to transmit a song! More ways than humans on earth, because each one of us can do many interpretations of one single song. We will explore the different ways to learn a song.
Singing is the oldest instrument we have, people sang while working, in gatherings, to their loved ones... but now days singing make people shy, make them lose confidence in their voice. That's why I want to offer some concrete tools that can help you to clearly understand what you feel when you sing and find the way in what you want to sing. I want that it feels good!! Singing cannot be suffering (like so many other things ... )
METHOD: Embodied Voice
The voice, our instrument, is not only the vocal cords in our throat, but it is also your whole body and the energy you carry. If you move your arm while you're singing it will affect the sound, but also any emotion you feel.
Let's embody your voice by singing while connecting: Emotion, Body, Mind, and Guts.
