Studying music and theatre had a profound impact, among other things, on the way I understand and connect with myself, the world, and others. Welcoming others to this journey gives me great joy.

 

I teach children, young people, and adults, including beginners and advanced vocalists, professional musicians and performers, as well as amateurs, on vocal technique and the repertoire of their choice. I have coached students in one-on-one sessions and prepared them for auditions. I have led drama & drama games workshops for children, and I have directed school theatre shows. I have taught acting to adult groups. I have led workshops and masterclasses on Ancient Drama and performing in Musical Theatre.

I am a full PVG member, first aider, and I constantly research topics relevant to well-being fields.

Rebel Singing

 

Imagine all the people, expressing themselves freely in a symphony of happy vibrating bodies. Imagine their collective power and bonds.

Singing is as vital as having a liberating laugh or a self-soothing cry.

 

It makes you happy; It relieves from stress, lowers blood pressure,  releases endorphions and oxytocin.

It makes you smarter; it improves cognition and memory.

It makes you fitter; it tones up your muscles and improves your breath and posture.

 

It helps you understand, communicate and connect with yourself and others. And it’s freaking fun!

 

Everybody can sing; if you think or you are told otherwise, nonsense! You just need the safe space to explore your inner, natural, gorgeous voice.

 

If you sing already but you have somehow lost the joy of it, maybe it's time to deconstruct your technique, connect with your breath and your mind it and reconstruct your craft.

 

I cannot remember myself before I started singing and I am a lucky one because people often like my voice so I kept singing. Make no mistake; I've been asked to shut up quite a few times which I shamefully did for some time.

 

The journey of my vocal exploration have been long and through many different paths; studying and imitating singers I admired, studying various singing techniques (classical, jazz), training my voice for speech and acting, exploring practices like yoga or the Linklater method.

 

Every session (group or individual) is unique; responding to one's way of understanding, mood and condition on the day, goals and desires.

Each session is divided in three sessions; relaxation,  body warm-up  and breath work where I subtly guide you to connect and understand your tool, building vocal technique through more traditional practice, and finally, performance on the repertoire of your choice.

 

 

Speech

 

My practice applies to speech as well. Whether you are an experienced/trained speaker or you need to build your vocal technique and stamina if you have to talk much, my practice will coach you to connect in a more healthy and sustainable way to connect with your voice and your mind and communicate more effectively through speech.

Sharing your limits will allow me to encourage you to gently expand the boundaries of your comfort zone while respecting your body.

What to expect
 

For one-to-one sessions You may choose between 60' or 90' sessions; I encourage you to think about it after our trial. A session can be longer or shorter; it is rather a cycle that needs to be completed at your own pace (and mine, actually). I suggest allowing some time after your session before your next scheduled activity. I also encourage you to allow yourself sufficient time to arrive at the session, both mentally and physically. I schedule only a few staggered sessions during the day to allow for these necessary breaks. You can book and pay for each session individually if you wish to have some flexibility. Consider choosing 90' sessions in this case, and bear in mind that you might not always be able to practice the day and time you wish. Please, cancel at least 24 hours before our scheduled session. You can also pay a flat fee each month, the same for 4 or 5 sessions, and have a consistent and regular practice. You may request a rescheduling of a session at least 24 hours before your scheduled time. I cannot, however, guarantee flexibility around rescheduling or skipping a session, especially if you give me shorter notice. If I have to cancel a session, I will strive to reschedule at your convenience. If this is not possible and you have prepaid for the session or you pay monthly, I will either deduct the amount from your next payment or refund you. In case of emergency, you may cancel anytime, including within 24 hours ahead of your sessions. In this case, I will offer you a new date and time or freeze your monthly payment accordingly. In case you depend on a parent, guardian or carer, we will all discuss and make a choice whether their presence in the session is beneficial or not.
