Vocal coach Amsterdam
Hi, I'm Sara Tompkins, I'm an experienced and enthusiastic singing teacher, located in Amsterdam. My private singing lessons offer uniquely tailored experiences for beginner, intermediate, and advanced vocalists.
Time to Sing!
Are you a complete beginner or already an established singer? Do you have the desire to express yourself through song, but don’t know how to use your voice in a healthy manner?
Mind and Heart
Along with using both the mind and the heart, in my lessons we will practice different vocal techniques. We will work on posture, breathing, resonance, pitch, volume, range and articulation. Most importantly, we will work on strengthening your authentic voice and bringing a better awareness to your instrument (the body)!
Repertoire
Want to sing pop, jazz, folk, improvisation and more? With me, you may choose songs that you love, and songs that you truly want to sing! Sign up for a trial lesson!
Movement and Dance
Many different parts of the body come together to produce sound as a singer. This means that your voice is not separate from you, it is you! Embrace the body as your instrument through movement and dance.
Expression
Tell your story, feel your vulnerability, push your boundaries, and get out of your comfort zone! If you want to express yourself through song writing, theatre, and body language, then join me in my one-on-one singing lessons.
Singing With Microphone
An added bonus of taking lessons with me is that I can teach you microphone techniques. I have been performing on stage for over 15 years, and I can help answer any questions you might have about microphone technique and the amplification of the voice.
Write Your Own Lyrics
After years of coaching international artists through my English lyric coaching sessions, I can help coach you in English lyric writing. This means helping you with English grammar, diction, and choosing words to better describe the story in which you want to tell.
Personal Development
Did you know that singing can help you in your everyday life? If you want to build confidence, learn to take space, feel and express emotions in a safe space, step out of your comfort zone, and stand with presence in a room, then my singing lessons can help you achieve this!
A Healthy Voice
Sleep deprivation, stress, sickness, and hormonal changes affect how we produce sound. Not only that, but fluctuations in life affect the health of our vocal box over time. I can teach you how to use your voice in a healthy manner in order to keep your voice happy and healthy for many years to come.
About Me
At Utrecht's Conservatorium, I had the privilege of receiving vocal lessons from Annemarie Maas and artistic development guidance from Erik Rutjes. Currently, I am nearing the completion of my final courses at the conservatory. My innate ability to captivate listeners through heartfelt storytelling has granted me opportunities to perform at venues alongside renowned musicians like Melqui at Paradiso, collaborate in recording studios with Catch the Sparrow, and grace the stage at the Nationale Opera en Ballet in 'Verbena'. Additionally, I have used my conservatory training in voice acting for innovative companies such as Zerophobia (VU University).
Beyond my performances, I have successfully organized numerous music events, including Folks Night at Volkshotel in Amsterdam and Fuse Factory at 't Oude Pothuys in Utrecht. Presently, I am co-producing Doek Festival #20, Art of the Outskirts. As a teacher, I have been praised by my students for my attentive nature. I place great importance on understanding their unique voices and individual needs, and I am dedicated to identifying and addressing any obstacles that may impede their fullest vocal potential. In my lessons, I cultivate a productive, professional, and focused environment, while also providing the nurturing, warmth, and security necessary for each student to unleash their true voice.
