Singing Lessons, Vocal Coaching & More

Training & Education
I am trained to be able to work with any voice. I also have many years of experience with various voice types. In addition, we strive to train the whole body in our singing and voice lessons. With muscle tension, we not only look at the symptoms, but also at the causes.

In addition, I strive for optimal progression through continuous training. See also the blog section on this site. Thanks to this strategy in terms of further training, I can serve a broad target group. As a vocalist you only need to know a fraction of the science behind the art to make progress in the short term!

You will receive a genuine analysis of your voice
I will not change your own unique style (unless you want me to of course…). My goal is to give you control over your voice by training efficient use of the voice. In your first voice lesson we will discuss your strengths and your weaknesses. Also as a result of a short voting test.

I use specific vocal exercises to address the areas for improvement in terms of voice use. In order to continue to make and experience progress, it is important that you know why you are training what. So that you can also practice focused and optimally between singing lessons.

You’re more than welcome to schedule a first, non-binding, private singing lesson. Both an online singing lesson and a private singing lesson in Amsterdam can be scheduled via the online agenda.

The rates for a first lesson appointment are the same as for a single lesson appointment. All first lesson appointments must be paid in advance. You will receive a payment request for this which you can easily pay via iDeal.

In our singing and voice lessons we deliberately do not work from one specific singing method or technique. We strive to work from all singing techniques! The technique that is considered the most effective and healthy is used in a lesson.

We know from experience that working from only one method has a limiting effect. Especially when you assume that each individual has different goals, expectations and learning styles in the vocal field.

That’s right, we give private singing lessons in all music styles. Jazz, Pop, Soul, Rock, Musical, Traditional and Classical vocalists are all very welcome! You learn to make the possibilities of your voice credible in the genre of your choice. In addition, it is also good to know that anyone with a healthy speaking voice can (learn to) sing any music genre.

We also like to work with you on different styles. If you want this of course. The big advantage of this is that it can give you more insight into the possibilities of your voice. In addition, it is also nice not to think in boxes, like: this is the only Classic setting and you should always sing Pop like that.

Yes, we do!

Great question! The approach per singing teacher certainly differs. That is why it is important that you know what you want to improve at in the short term. Choose a singing teacher for this cause.

First, you should be able to determine whether a singing teacher is teaching singing technique, by actually demonstrating how to approach a particular passage technically, or whether he / she is primarily coaching stylistically. The latter mainly concerns someone who demonstrates the melody of a song and the stylistic choices used by the original artist.

Of the two, the singing technique teacher is the most important, because without the technical possibilities to be able to sound freely and clearly over your entire range, you are very limited in the material you can handle and you will also be able to make less stylistic choices.

A good singing technique singing teacher is difficult to find. Ask for a simple demonstration of the skills of the singing teacher himself – especially when it comes to connecting the registers – before you start taking lessons with the teacher in question. Let him / her audition!

As with all new skills you learn – such as a language or a sport – you will experience more improvement by training the new habit (s) as much as possible and regularly. Then you will be able to cut back on this regularity, but still be able to appeal to the new habits. A regular training schedule is the most important thing in learning any skill. Besides a good teacher, of course 🙂

Yes, for the most part. An online lesson contains the same structure and components as a lesson in the singing studio in Amsterdam.

The main difference with regular sessions is that in online lessons it is not always possible to receive musical accompaniment from the singing studio.

We have been teaching online classes for 12 years.

Online appointments for singing and voice lessons are easily scheduled via the online agenda on this site. You will receive the confirmation directly in your inbox. In this email you will find, in addition to the link to the Zoom meeting, the best audio settings in Zoom for online voice training. The confirmation by e-mail also contains tips in preparation for your lesson.

Appointments that are canceled within 48 hours before starting time will be charged in full, regardless of the reason. Out of honesty and integrity towards the teacher and the students, no exceptions can be made to this policy.
