About this pro
I use the whole body to build up technique. Natural breathing, Support from a strong and healthy body, dissolving tensions in throat and shoulders etc to create sustainable use of the voice. All of this is necessary to use your voice freely in whatever genre you chose to do. I've studied Jazz, soul, pop, rock, classical, musical theatre and vocal technique. We base the lesson on your needs and what you want to achieve. Weather you like to go more in depth on certain genres or vocal technique is up to you.
Ex of technique exercises: Breathing techniques, Breath support, building vocal range, freeing vocal cords, finding head, chest and mixed voice, belting etc
I am also a songwriter with experience writing and producing music. Everything from singer songwriter, folk, rock, pop, music to film, jazz and soul. You've got the option to focus the lesson on songwriting as well.
I have 5 years of experience teaching singing and violin in music schools, evening courses and private lessons. I teach a wide variety of genres and beginners as well as advanced singers.
I have 3 year Music College education, 3 years of Music University, 1 year Music Theatre and Vocal technique training at Performing Art School in Gothenburg, Sweden. 1 year jazz and soul music at Ljungskile University. 1 1/2 year at Independent Artist Program at Musicians Institute, Los Angeles.
