Personalized Voice Lessons
In-Person and Online
Are you interested in understanding your vocal instrument better and improving your singing abilities? It can be very liberating to express yourself through your voice, and I strive to help my students discover the possibilities of their voices! With a focus on individual solutions, I provide my students with the attention and guidance they need to reach their full potential.
In my teaching approach, I incorporate insights from my professional experience as an opera singer and soloist, my background in theater and choir, as well as extensive studies in music education and vocal science. Particularly through my studies in vocal science (speech techniques and voice science), I gained insights into the physiology, anatomy, and acoustics of the voice, which I integrate into my lessons.
Whether you want to refine your vocal technique, prepare for a performance or audition, or simply nurture your passion for singing, I am here to support you in achieving your goals.
While I am based in Vienna, Austria, I provide both in-person and online lessons, catering to students worldwide.
