Joy in singing!

My singing lessons are all about the joy in singing, the cooperation between sound, breathing and body, and relaxation. The lessons are flexible and tailored to your needs. Together we find a repertoire that suits you. Please contact me for more information and book a trial lesson.

Do you recognise this?

Are you in a choir and feeling vocally tired after each rehearsal? Does your job require you to sing and speak a lot? Suffering from a hoarse voice and sore throat? I'll help you get, and keep, your voice in top shape! We make use of specialised excercises of speech therapy, like Lax Vox ("bubbling") and SOVT-Trainer.

Singing in Various Styles

Opera, operetta, oratorio, art song, pop- and musical theatre songs; whatever you want to work on, we will work on it. My basic is Classical singing, my work is namely singing opera in Holland and abroad. When I was younger, I used to sing in pop-bands and I love to sing in all different styles.

Beginners - classical singing technique

Have you wanted to sing for a long time, but do you have to cross that hurdle? An exciting moment! Discover how much fun it is to develop and express your voice! Whether you want to sing classical or pop; the best basis for this is classical singing technique, with a lot of attention to posture, breathing technique and efficient sound production.

Singers and performing on Stage

Singing can be more than just producing tones; to know and treat your whole body well is an important part. Especially when you aim to perform for an audience or when you're preparing for an audition.

Flexibility

Besides the fact that I enjoy teaching, I perform a lot at home and abroad. Lessons cannot therefore always take place at a fixed time. This requires flexibility and open communication on both sides. With a strip card of 5 or 10 lessons you are always safe and you will never lose a lesson.

Online Singing Lessons

Sometimes it is useful to book singing lessons online. Online singing lessons offer a good solution when I am abroad. Online singing lessons offer live instructions, personal feedback and motivation online! We use FaceTime, Skype or Zoom for example. It works fine!

About Me

I studied classical singing at the Utrecht Conservatory (HKU). After my studies, my career immediately gained momentum. I got the opportunity to perform many leading roles at the Dutch opera companies, DNO, DRO and Opera Zuid. I achieved a permanent position in the soloist ensemble at the Aalto Theater in Essen, Germany. I am still a regular guest in Essen, just like in Cologne and Wiesbaden. I was a soloist to all the major orchestras in the Netherlands, and worked with conductors such as Simon Rattle, Edo de Waart, Antony Hermus, Joana Mallwitz and Tomas Netopil. In addition to opera, my great love is making chamber music, especially for people who are not familiar with classical music, can no longer come to the concert hall or children. With both Stichting Appeltaartconcerten and the Ricciotti Ensemble, i bring music to people who can use it. With Club Classsique I performed on the parade last summer and winter to appeal to a new audience. I gave master classes at conservatories in Amsterdam, Utrecht and Zwolle.
