A good method of singing must always be in harmony with nature and the laws of health. There is a special individuality in every voice, as in every face, and therefore every voice must be treated, on its own merits. Blaise is a qualified singing teacher who enjoys sharing his theoretical and practical knowledge of this noble art with his students. He has a successful career as a freelance Opera singer, working with major Opera Companies in the UK and internationally. Former member of the prestigious Jette Parker Artist Program at the Royal Opera House, he holds a Masters degree in Opera Performance from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. TEACHING APPROACH The theoretical and practical vocal method that I offer starts with elementary vocal exercises. A rational and progressive course of vocal gymnastics will develop a great elasticity as well as great power contractions in the muscles of the vocal organ, without causing any sign of fatigue. Singing in many ways is a form of physical, mental, spiritual, and communicative activity, requiring consummate coordination among all its parts. That's why I encourage students to cultivate a habit of analysing and mentally preparing the exercises before singing them. Consistency and regularity are crucial for a good vocal training, and any one who attempts to learn it must be prepared to be devoted, work regularly and be patient with himself / herself because the learning process requires time. There's no difference in the level of devotion to practice between a professional and amateur singer considering that they both must aim for quality and healthy singing. My job as a singing teacher is to guide the students in the process of building an healthy and a solid vocal technique, developing and finding their own voice and maintaining the voice in good shape. WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? - Improvement of your technical skills by understanding the vocal mechanism. - Understanding of the voice registers. - Learn about breath control and support of the voice. - Preparation for emitting the voice. - Exercises that will progressively bring flexibility, expand the vocal range and power. - To learn more about effective warming up. - To fix faults in the voice production. - To learn about vocal hygiene. I teach privately in the studio, from my flat, online or I can travel to the student in some case. Singers of any level are welcome. NOW! LET'S EXPLORE YOUR VOICE AND BUILD UP A HEALTHY VOCAL TECHNIQUE Looking forward to hearing from you.
