TEACHING
Singing lessons
Do you want to find your own unique voice? To feel uninhibited and confident in expression and let your voice flow freely?
I will teach you how to better connect with your body, how to use singing techniques so as to avoid damages and strengthen your voice. I will also be focusing on your own personal colours of voice and expression. To sing and to learn singing is a deeply personal journey. We might have blockages and habits that will be touched by our breathing and the waves of sound we are making. We might touch emotional places in ourselves that have been buried for some time. These emotions are very welcome in my lessons and they can even act as guidance for the next step to take. My intentions is to create a safe and personal space to work from.
I am a classically trained singer (see resume). After my singing education I have studied acting and am working both as an actress and a singer. I am now exploring different directions with my voice, trying out several genres to further develop my own diversity as a vocalist. One of them being Norwegian folktones.
In my teaching I will use my knowledge of both classical singing and acting. My goal is to figure out who you are and help you connect deeper to your own unique and authentic voice. To guide you towards your core so you can sing with confidence and joy. Learning how to sing well should not mean loosing your own personal sound.
What we will work on:
- Body and vocal warm ups
- Breathing exercises and understanding the anatomy used for singing
- Increasing the vocal range and flexibility
- Working with repertoire, expression and musicality
Lessons will take place at my home, or I am happy to travel to you, if there is a piano/keyboard available for use. I am also offering online lessons, but in person is highly recommended.
