Private singing lessons in Amsterdam or online
From a very young age I had the luck of developing myself with kind, open, receptive and inspiring teachers:
In Argentina Pepa Vivanco and Violeta de Gainza were two pillars for musical education.
The singing technique is based on my development with Xenia Meijer, in the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and Margreet Honig. Always searching for rhetoric, desire to communicate, a free body, a relaxed throat and larynx, the pleasant inhalation and active exhalation. My constant search for a good feeling, the love for music, for singing and for sharing is an every day inspiration that I love to share with others, no matter the age or the level.
We will focus on breathing, the fundament of any kind of singing, we will work to develop a flexible body and a pleasant sound projection. Each lesson is thought specifically for the student with each singular need and desire.
Sight reading lessons in Amsterdam
Theory and music are inseparable, just as sight-reading and making music in your head or out loud are constantly interrelated. I am a fanatic about sight-reading; I even do it in my spare time. Many people think I’m crazy, but for me, it’s just a game. Just as each person does math in their head in a unique way, the same applies to sight-reading. There are tools and techniques that help each person develop their own system. I have created my own system by combining various methods, and I have found that they complement each other, inspire new ideas, and allow me to constantly play games and make music in my head. Moreover, this approach increases confidence as a musician, since there’s no need to memorize music all the time. But it’s not a mechanical system—it’s flexible and playful, where we find connections between the notes that make sense.
I’ve seen many people become stressed about sight-reading, and I was once one of them. However, with the help of teachers and colleagues, I gradually developed a love for this practice. It not only made me more secure in my musicianship but also turned into a game—an active search that becomes music.
Breathing lessons in Amsterdam or online
Breathing starts with a movement
and ends in the soul.
Albert Einstein
Through years of exploring bodywork, vocal technique, tension release, relaxation, and meditation, I discovered the foundation beneath it all: the breath.
While breathing is fundamental to singing, my work with it revealed something deeper—breath belongs to everyone, and everyone heals when working with it. We need it not only to survive, but to truly live: to find joy, to connect with others, to rise to challenges, and to find our calm. The breath accompanies us every moment, yet we’re rarely taught to truly use it or unlock its potential.
My breathing lessons weave together anatomy, movement, and exercises that help you understand how your body naturally works and how to access it with care, silence, listening, and softness. These sessions are based on The Breath Experience method created by Professor Ilse Middendorf, through my training with Diet Sijmons.
