VISION & MISSION My objective as a teacher and mentor is to help emerging singers to discover their individual instrument and unleash their full artistic potential. I draw on my wealth of personal experience to prepare my students. The lessons cover all aspects of singing, voice training, interpretation, everyday stage life and career, as well as vocal hygiene. I place great emphasis on bodywork and incorporating the findings of voice research. Singers receive a concise and systematic approach to voice training based on the Swedish-Italian vocal method used by great masters of the past and present such as Kirsten Flagstad, Birgit Nilsson, Jussi Björling and others. The emphasis lies on vocal and physical alignment, balancing registration, opening the middlevoice and stabilizing the the passagi, thereby creating a resonating round tone through all vocal registers. The overarching goal is to encourage the singers to become specialists for their own vocal and emotional instrument, to help them to develop into convincing, independent performers: artists with a vibrant, reliable vocality and a compellingly strong authentic stage presence: Vocally competent, musically confident and authentically expressive, equipped with the tools necessary for healthy singing and a successful career on opera stage and concert hall. |
