    Lessons of Bulgarian Folk Singing / Pop & Jazz Singing / Piano / Music theory (ONLINE)

    My name is Rayna Vasileva – a Bulgarian Vocal performer and educator of Singing, Piano and Music theory.

    I began singing at a very young age drove by my father. I graduated in folk singing at the renowned music school in Varna, Bulgaria – “Dobri Hristov”.
    Then I continued my studies at Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, majoring in “Music Pedagogy”. In folk singing, I was in the class of one of the best and famous Bulgarian folk singers – Svetla Karadjova.
    In parallel with my studies at Sofia University, I attended classes in Pop and Jazz singing and significantly developed my talent in this direction.
    I repeatedly attended the Master classes and Private classes for vocal and jazz improvisation of Christiane Karam, a lecturer at one of the best music Universities in the world – Berklee College of Music.

    In 2023 I earned a Master's degree in Pop and Jazz Vocal Performance at New Bulgarian University, majoring in in the class of Senior Asst. Prof. Nelly Marinkova. In jazz and pop improvisation, I was in the class of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Angel Zaberski.

    My brother Zhivko Vasilev and I created “Outhentic Band” in 2012, where we both blend Bulgarian folklore with jazz, funk, pop, flamenco and etc.
    We released our debute album “YesToday” in 2016 and our second album “Transparent” in 2019.

    I was part of:

    • Тhe Bulgarian band – Banda DelPadre, where we combined Bulgarian folk music with Spanish music
    • Bulgarian Vocal group Avigeya and Ivan Shopov, where we mixed Bulgarian folk music with Electronic music

    In 2019 I took part in the album of the Australian jazz pianist David Dower – “There is no stars” and in 2022 in his second album – “Mravka”.

    I have participated in various Bulgarian and international forums and festivals around the world. Some of them include:
    Ethno Flanders (Belgium), Ethno Sweden (Sweden), 12th edition of the European Night of Museums 2016 (Sliven, Bulgaria), Glastonbury Festival 2017 (England), Jazz Forum Stara Zagora (Bulgaria), GuitArt Festival 2018 (Bulgaria) and 2019, World Fest Plovdiv 2019 (Bulgaria), Cairo Jazz Festival (2024), etc.

    Singing lessons with an italian lyric-coloratura soprano. From opera to modern and pop. (Masters degree in singing with honours, cum Laude)
    My classes are different depending on your level and age. With children from 7 to 12, we start by doing easy vocalization and start training the ear with intonation, we then have fun singing your favorite songs. With teenagers, I also start with some vocalization, a little more elaborate. Depending on the student's capabilities, we start establishing a comfortable range for them and then proceed to singing. For my older students ideally, I divide our lesson into 2 sections. We work on respiration and how the diaphragm works. We do scales and arpeggios and work on intonation. We then proceed to singing and putting into practice our technique. Some students might need more technique before they actually sing, I like to take things slowly and make sure the student feels confident and comfortable singing. I teach children, teenagers, and adults, from beginners to more advanced. Classical training enables you to sing in any kind of way, so don’t hesitate and let’s sing!

    Piano Lessons, Composition, Harmony and Improvisation
    Studying music requires developing various skills and techniques, such as practicing an instrument, understanding harmony, or reading sheet music. The piano is one of the few instruments that allows you to work on these aspects—and many more—all at the same time! My name is Federico, and I am a jazz pianist. With me, you can explore the endless possibilities the piano has to offer, focusing on any topic you wish to delve into and any musical genre that resonates with you. Together, we’ll work on instrument mastery, sheet music reading, chord construction, improvisation, composition, and arrangement. And that’s just the beginning! I’d be thrilled to create a personalized lesson plan tailored to your interests and musical tastes, whether it’s mastering a song you love or refining one of your own original compositions!
