Yes, I work with students at all levels, including beginners. If you’ve never sung before, don’t worry—I’ll guide you step-by-step. - Do you teach children?
I teach children aged 8-14 with 45-minute lessons before 5:00 PM. Bundles of 8 or 10 lessons are available. For teens 14+, lessons are 60 minutes.
- What styles do you teach?
With a background as a classically trained opera singer and performer/songwriter in soul, blues, and jazz, I bring a diverse musical perspective to my teaching. I teach in the "bel canto" style, which builds a strong foundation for healthy, sustainable singing. I teach various styles, including musical theatre, rock, pop, and jazz, with a priority for vocal health, avoiding improperly used “stylistics” that could lead to strain. I do not offer coaching in metal or "scream" techniques.
- Do lessons need to be scheduled at the same time every week?
For priority scheduling, lessons must be booked at the same time each week. For slots after 17:00, a commitment of 8 or 10 lessons is required. There is some flexibility, so please refer to the Terms and Conditions for more details. - Do you offer bi-weekly lessons with a lesson bundle?
Unfortunately, bi-weekly lessons are not available with lesson bundles. For flexibility, you may consider the 'Pay As You Go' option, though availability may be limited. - Do you offer lessons on a casual basis?
Yes! If you prefer more flexibility, you can opt for the 'Pay As You Go' option. Availability may be more limited, so please check in advance. - Can you help me stretch my vocal range?
Yes, I can help expand your vocal range with tailored exercises that consider your voice type and vocal health. If you wish to sing a song outside your natural range, we can transpose it to a key that is more suitable for your voice. - Do you provide sheet music?
I offer a variety of repertoire, but I do not provide printed sheet music. If you’d like to work on a specific song, please bring it in printed or PDF format with the vocal line, piano part, and chords. This will help us make the most of your lesson time.
. - How many lessons must I take to become a “good” singer?
There’s no set answer—it depends on your current ability, practice habits, and lesson frequency. Every student’s progress is different. - Do you do group lessons? Can I bring my friend, partner etc.?
All lessons are one-on-one. However, I occasionally host group introductory workshops, which will be announced on the website. - Do you help with presentation writing and content creation? (Specific to public speaking)
I do not assist with writing or structuring presentations, but I can help with vocal delivery, enunciation, and presentation skills.
- Do you help with English pronunciation?
Yes, as a native English speaker and trained opera singer, I use the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to guide you in producing a clear and neutral accent. - Do you offer speech therapy?
I am not a licensed speech therapist. For voice-related medical concerns, please consult an ENT /HNO specialist (Ear, Nose, and Throat) or a licensed speech therapist. - I think I have damaged my voice. Can you help me with this?
I recommend seeing an ENT specialist if you suspect vocal damage. A licensed speech therapist may also be helpful alongside vocal coaching. - Do you teach in German?
Lessons are taught in English, but I have some knowledge of German. - Do you provide invoices for claiming from a company’s educational budget?
Yes, I can provide invoices for company reimbursements. Please send me the company’s full details, including tax ID if necessary. Payment is due by the stated date, and if there are any delays in processing, the client is responsible for paying and claiming the amount back later.
