Singer's Guide

Would you like to know what happens in the singing lessons?

Below you can see the different topics that we build the singing lessons around. The different aspects are integrated into singing, breathing and physical exercises. We choose the piece (depending on your style modern or classical) in the lesson together with you in such a way that it matches our main focus and your current level both vocally and musically. This guarantees your learning success and fun.

Posture

"Proud", open posture. We work on your posture so that you can learn to control your breath and thus support your voice. Proper breathing technique and good healthy posture are very closely related. We will discover which muscles need to work more and which muscles need to relax for a healthy posture. Healthy posture not only affects your entire respiratory system and so your voice control, but also improves your body awareness and your general well-being in your everyday life.

Support

Controlled, prolonged exhalation for a healthy and clear voice. This is about finding the right speed and amount of the air we expel from the lungs while singing, so that the vocal folds can produce a clear non-airy sound.

Vocal clarity

Away with the breathiness! We learn through simple and effective exercises to "close the vocal cords." This is the only way you can start strengthening your voice. A healthy and non breathy voice is the prerequisite of working on the different vocal registers, so that you can sing a pop / musical song or a classical work an a healthy way and as good as your favorite artist.

Open throat

We work on your "throat opening." Your main resonator in singing is your pharynx and oral cavity. The open throat is about making the optimal space there for your voice to sound free and stylistically authentic. Simply put, not too dark or not too bright. When everything in the throat runs optimally, i.e. it is free, the voice shines, it "sits" in its place. You get the feeling of a "higher position of your voice."

Vocal registers

The vocal registers provide a big and fascinating topic to explore. Whether classical or modern singers, all must first learn to sing in the two main registers, in the head voice and in the chest voice; and then gradually blend the two together. Each lesson we work on both your head voice and your chest voice, regardless of your voice type (Stimmfach). Our goal is for you to be able to use your voice individually and in a variety of ways which will give you the artistic and creative freedom you seek in your singing style.

Repertoire

We have a very extensive collection of digital and printed media of pop, and musical songs and operatic arias as well as oratorical works and songs for all voice types. Each lesson we work also on a song that we choose together. You say what you'd like to sing, what interests you, we both make lists of what we think we should work on, and we find each other in the middle. Fun is important, but the pieces should also support and progress your vocal and musical development. In any case, you get the sheet music (even for the latest pop songs!) and a top backing track. Everything transposed in a key best suited for your voice. In addition, you can choose whether we accompany you on the piano or you you can sing along with a backing track.
