Professional Singing Lessons : NATS Accredited Expertise & RCM Standards

Vocal Excellence Rooted in Science and Heritage

As a Voice Specialist and a proud member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) , my pedagogy is built on the latest advancements in voice science and the highest ethical standards of North American vocal education. My approach is not just about singing ; it is about understanding the physiological and acoustic mechanisms that allow for a free, powerful, and healthy voice. Whether you are a professional singer or an advanced student, you will benefit from a coaching style that combines technical precision with artistic sensitivity.

Your Gateway to RCM Certification : From Foundation to ARCT

As a registered RCM Teacher (ID #152338) , I prepare candidates for the full range of Royal Conservatory of Music examinations , from Level 1 through to the prestigious ARCT diplomas. My practice serves as a bridge between the French academic system — where I have served as a tenured Conservatory Professor for 15 years — and the North American requirements. By combining this extensive teaching experience with the world-class training I received at the Royal Academy of Music in London , I provide comprehensive coaching for all grades. I ensure every student is fully prepared for the technical and stylistic demands of their Remote Exams.

My rigorous methodology is adaptable to all profiles, from choir singers to candidates for ‘The Voice’ or major TV talent shows.

A Proven Track Record of Vocal Success

My pedagogy is backed by a diverse portfolio of students, ranging from foundation levels to professional conservatory standards. I have a proven track record of building voices “from the ground up” and preparing singers for competitive examinations and public performances.

Institutional & Private Coaching Highlights :

• Advanced Conservatory Preparation : Coaching students for the Conservatory Studies Certificate (CEM) with repertoire spanning from Handel and Mozart to Poulenc.
• High-Level Dramatic Repertoire : Specialized training for dramatic voices , focusing on range expansion and stamina for major works by Wagner, Verdi, and Berlioz.
• Intensive Study of Song Cycles : Expert guidance through major cycles such as Schubert’s Winterreise and Mahler’s Des Knaben Wunderhorn.
• Stylistic Versatility : Instruction provided in French, English, Italian, and German, covering Baroque to Contemporary styles.

My coaching transforms these linguistic challenges into your greatest expressive assets. Diction is not merely about pronouncing words ; it is about breathing life into the poetry through the vocal instrument.

Master of French Diction & Vocal Style

The Art of the Mélodie and Opera

Beyond vocal technique , mastering the French language is essential for any international career. As a native speaker with 15 years of experience in French Conservatories, I offer specialized coaching in French Diction and Phonetics. My approach focuses on the unique relationship between the French “u”, nasal vowels, and the legato line, ensuring that the text is not only intelligible but also serves the musical phrasing.

Specialized Coaching for International Artists :

• Linguistic Precision : Deep dive into the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) and the subtleties of French prosody.
• Stylistic Interpretation : From the Baroque “déclamation” to the refined nuances of Fauré, Debussy , and Poulenc.
• Repertoire Mastery : Preparation for major French operatic roles and song cycles (Lieder & Mélodies).

Children are accepted from the age of 12 or by special dispensation depending on their molting.
