Do you teach other styles rather than classical music?
Yes, absolutely ! Together with being trained in Italy following the principle of Italian Bel canto, I also studied other styles, attending conferences and training programs. Over the years I have collaborated with singers of any style, as well as with actors and entertainers. Recently, I completed Levels I, II, III of Somatic VoiceworkTM The LoVetri Method, for Contemporary Commercial Music. I keep exploring different approaches to better understand how our body interacts with our voice. I believe that the principals of a functional and healthy vocal technique can be applied to any stile. Aiming for an holistic approach, I have taken classes of Alexander Technique, and I am an active Yoga practitioner (Vinyasa yoga.)
What happens during a voice lesson?
At the beginning of our lesson, we will generally start with a quick vocal warm-up. I always encourage students to arrive with a body ready to move freely. We will then start to work on vocal exercises, to build up your technique. In this section, we will prepare your voice for the repertoire and style you want to sing. In the second half of your lesson, we will sing the music you have prepared, working specifically on the style, words, stage presence/acting, and all the aspects of a performance. Lessons are tailored on students’ needs and goals. Each lesson depends on how your voice sounds in that moment. While we always work for a healthy vocal production, the results might change based on the condition of your voice that day, or the specific requirements of the repertoire you want to sing. This is the beauty of this journey: we explore all the possibilities of your instrument and how they fit in your repertoire.
What is your policy for cancellations?
I ask my students to cancel their lesson no later than 24-hours in advance to receive a make-up lesson. No-shows will not receive a make-up lesson. There are no refunds for missed or unused lessons. I try to accommodate illness or emergencies on a case-by case basis, and I will discuss these details during our first lesson. If you are late to your lesson, please know that we will still terminate at your scheduled time.
