Voice, music and ear training for all ages and styles

Singing and making music are a lot of fun, but not the easiest thing... no matter which level you're at. For this, one needs energy, concentration and, above all, patience. But who succeeds in making progress finds that it's the best feeling ever to make music while using you best potential. That's what I can help with.

You sing all the time, but you want to improve your technique? Or you're a complete beginner and you want to get a taste of this intriguing music world? You're already singing in a band but you feel like your voice is getting tired easily, or that you need some tricks for finding notes? Then I can definitely help you, no matter your age or your style of music. My goal with this course is that you find your hobby easier and even more fun than it is already.

I'm currently finishing my master's degree in opera singing at the MUK and I use my knowledge to sing pop, jazz, funk... and so on, accompanied by my guitar/keyboard. I'm looking forward to getting to know you!

About Me

Hi there!

My name is Olivier and I’m a French-Canadian singer. After one year of German classes in Montreal I moved to Berlin to improve my language skills, and then came to Vienna for a master’s degree in opera singing.

I’ve been studying classical singing for 7 years now; in the meanwhile, music and I have become inseparable, and because of my studies I developed a vibrant passion for languages. Through the years I’ve also had various types of teaching experience, including teaching music to children in summer camps.

I’m offering my help in singing/music as well as in French. In both courses, the most important thing for me is that the student has fun and feels comfortable asking questions.

I’m looking forward to getting to know you!

Education

After my two first years of singing lessons, I did a bachelor's degree in Music Performance (Voice) at McGill University in Montreal. I'm currently doing a master's degree in Opera Singing at the Musik und Kunst Privatuniversität Wien (MUK).

Experience / Qualifications

Ukulele- and music teacher / counselor in summmer camps
Intensive course for instrumental- and singing pedagogy in order to give private lessons

Play your favorite songs straight away, write your own songs and record them (git or keys)
LEARNING BY HEART Learn to play/sing favorite songs: - Depending on your ability, we simplify (or enrich) the accompaniment and improve it in a fluid manner - I'll show you various "hacks" and shortcuts - you don't have to do anything "right", you can follow the fun. - play/practice without pressure, how does that work...? You can make it easier for yourself! How much time you invest stays with you. :-) - any style possible, as long as it makes sense for you technically - Singing: easy! Write your own songs: - I give you different "glasses", "rails" through which you come up with new ideas, both for the music as well as the lyrics and singing - "writers block" - from the head back to the heart using simple techniques - learn to use the hidden treasure trove of ideas in your body (subconscious)! - and most importantly: have fun with “bad” songs! generally: - you will find clear goals for each hour (e.g. record a song or parts of it,...), for the next few weeks and for the next months - we record as much as possible because it is the best exercise (and the most exciting ;-) and you have something "in your hands" that is satisfying in itself, no matter how "perfect" it is (everything is perfect How clean is up to you ;-). - I'll help you promote the joy of sharing your music ("I can give something!") - and above all: learn to feel what really makes you happy. It's important to me that you feel safe with me and have fun, no matter how things are going. I'm happy if you dare, it can only get better! :-)
