The art of singing: breathing techniques, ancient music, lyrical, interpretation, theory

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Lyric, Baroque and traditional singer gives singing lessons, vocal technique, interpretation, musical culture at home (Paris 8)

After studying in Poland (Master of performing arts - opera singing) I came to France to deepen my knowledge of Baroque repertoire, style and period ornamentation.
Early music becomes my specialization, however my second passion is contemporary music, however I master the classical and romantic repertoire.
My mind is open to all musical styles: I practiced realistic song, singing variety and - with great success - the traditional Slavic song.
Since my musical education is established by the theoretical foundations (Bachelor in musicology at the Sorbonne), I would be delighted to share my experiences in this discipline during singing lessons, or to teach them separately.
I also teach small piano lessons and music theory lessons for beginners.

Classes are conducted in French, but when I am Polish, I could give in Polish or English too.

A course can last from 1h up to 1,5h. It's up to you.

In exceptional cases I can come to your home, but mainly I give lessons at home (Paris Rome-Batignolles).

It's a joy for me to be able to introduce myself as a teacher. I think it's a very responsible and fascinating job that can lead to very nice encounters and exchanges between priceless people!

As a beginner, I didn't know what to expect from my first operatic singing lesson. But Helena was able to demonstrate great pedagogy, patience and professionalism with me to help me discover the techniques and repertoire of lyrical singing. It's always a great pleasure to work with her, and the more I learn, the more exciting I find it.

Polish course by a Polish native to all levels, French for foreigners, at home (Paris 8) I give Polish language courses for French people of Polish origin who want to learn their mother tongue, or for foreigners who want to visit Poland, go work there, move ... for students from the Polish language to the Sorbonne, and also for all those who have the curiosity to know this language for leisure! Polish is my native language, I did all my education in Poland, always being very passionate about Polish literature. I am also fascinated by etymology. In Polish you find more French words than you expect! Since my profession is lyrical and baroque, I have a lot to do with the pronunciation of European languages. I found my own key to the best understanding and memorization of consonants that are not easy in Polish! Since I know very well the classical repertoire and the Polish variety, I could help you to translate and pronounce the Polish songs!

Graduated from the CNR & CNSMP with Gold Medal, and opera singer, I offer lessons covering the basics of singing.

Lessons in Songwriting and strengthening the Ear. Guitar, Vocals, Piano, Midi Instruments, General Music Theory, etc.
I am excited to offer my new classes I recently developed while teaching in NYC at a children's music school. My initial approach will first be to understand the desires within my student (aka the artist) While I can teach beginner music theory, I do not believe this is necessary for one to write music. However, if the student would like to understand this, I can provide lessons on general theory. My primary intention is to identify the student's core strengths and use them to help them create the music that they wish to create. I have collaborated with artists like Bakithi Kumalo (Paul Simon's bass player) Itaal Shur (Multi-Grammy award winner and Composer of "Smooth" by Santana) and Haydn Bendall (Kate Bush's chief engineer)

Fun Time Singing Musical Songs with Kids & Adults 💛
VOCAL lessons are divided into 2 parts - 1) Warmup Exercise and 2) Singing Exercise. We do both parts in every lessons. Ideally we spend every 2-3 sessions for each song. For kids, a 30-min online lesson / 45-min face-to-face lesson would be long enough for their attention. For adults, it's good to start with a 50-min online lesson! Also, we do music appreciation occasionally during the session. Some other learning materials like music videos are applied based on song choices.

Cheslava
Piano and Singing tutor with 5 years experience and professional education
From my childhood I have been studying music and art: sang in choir and solo, played piano, painted, studied music history and literature, solfeggio. Later in college I have also learned choir conducting, had ensemble and choir singing lessons, cultural studies. During last year in university I had pedagogy practice at university and at private art school (where I worked as a music tutor before the war - piano, voice). I truly enjoyed working with students. They all were different age (8 - 40+ years old) and level. But all were very interesting and work was pleasant. My education was very various: my core subjects were conducting, choir, voice, piano. So it allowed me to work with children, teens and adults with quite wide range of interests and needs: some students needed/wanted to learn particular composition(s), sometimes pop songs arrangements, some were interested in “introduction” to the music, some wanted to renew skills they gained in their childhood and continue their journey to the music world. In addition I prepared presentations (which contained information about cultural and historical background and musical and character/art analysis). So after graduation from choir conducting faculty (which allowed me to deepen my knowledge in many important compatible branches) I concentrated on studying classical singing and piano, expanded my cultural studies and analysis knowledge, practiced solfeggio and harmony.
