Evi Bosman – private singing lessons in Rotterdam 

Hello! I'm Evi, a singer-songwriter based in Rotterdam. I make indie-folk music under my own name, and in 2022 I released my debut EP All That Remains. My biggest musical inspirations include Phoebe Bridgers, Radiohead, Adrienne Lenker, and Helena Deland. I hold a Bachelor's in Jazz & Pop Vocals from ArtEZ Arnhem and a Master's in Songwriting from the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance in London. 

From what age? 

I prefer teaching students aged 12 and up, whether you're a complete beginner or already have some experience. My teaching covers pop, indie, folk, R&B, hip-hop, country, and rock. 

Enjoyment and personal growth 

My lessons put your personal development and enjoyment of singing at the centre of everything. Technique and interpretation go hand in hand for me — both are ways of approaching a song and telling a story. Healthy vocal use is something I care about deeply, and it’s my intention to have every student leave their session feeling good. 

Every voice is unique!

How your instrument sounds and feels can vary from day to day, or even moment to moment. That's why I always tailor exercises and lesson materials to your specific situation and goals. 

Lesson structure 

We start with a short physical and vocal warm-up to check in with our bodies and voices, how are we doing today? Think about exercises like:  

• ‘bubbling’ using the LaxVox method  
• singing through various vowel-sounds at the piano 
• a gentle, gradual build if you're having any vocal issues  
• loosening up the larynx and surrounding muscles 
• posture and movement 

Then we get to work on songs you love, or songs you've always wanted to be able to sing. You might already have a playlist of favourites — that becomes the starting point for your repertoire, and we build on it together. I'll give you focused guidance on how to sing those songs in a healthy and authentic way, with attention to lyrics and expression.

Microphone technique and stage presence 

Looking for ways to sound your singing best? You'll learn how to hold the mic and avoid adding distracting noises. I'll show you my pro mic techniques. Besides technique and interpretation, we also explore stage presence, microphone technique, and performing live. Audition preparation, for conservatoires or pre-conservatoire programmes, is also possible. 

Songwriter Lessons 

Would you like to learn how to write your own songs, or develop the ones you've already started? Alongside singing lessons, I also teach songwriting. I'd love to help you find your sound and guide you through the process of writing and editing your work. 

Band coaching 

When I work with a band, we start by talking through your goals and ambitions, and together we map out a plan. 

Where is my teaching studio? 

Lessons take place at Soundport, just near Marconiplein in Rotterdam. The studio is fully equipped with drums, PA, piano, guitar, and microphones. Free parking is available in front of the building, and there is an elevator inside. 

About Me

What am I up to musically? I currently play as a multi-instrumentalist with Roos Meijer (violin, keys, and backing vocals), and I'm busy preparing my next album. I'm recording it at the Batavierhuis, a creative maker's space in Rotterdam where I've been collaborating with producer Max Abel since 2021. 

Trial Lesson

Does any of this speak to you? Come along for a trial lesson! It's the best way to experience whether my teaching style is a good match for you. You'll get a feel for what lessons look like and take home some tips to get started with straight away, and I'll get a first impression of your voice so we can talk through what you'd like to work on together.
