WHAT WE CAN DO

Pop Singing

Pop singing offers you many possibilities for interpretation. In jazz and rock as well, the singer’s personal expression is in the foreground. Timbre and phrasing differ significantly from classical singing, which is often found partially in musical theater as well.

Rock and Jazz

Different stylistic devices are used depending on the genre. Jazz singing leaves much room for interpretation, while rock expresses the energy and power of the voice. In singing lessons, you get plenty of space to work on your style.

OUR

PHILOSOPHIE

PHILOSO PHIE

We start from the speaking voice and keep the larynx and muscles relaxed and naturally at speech level while singing. Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Ed Sheeran, and many more use this technique.

The background is that we start from our speaking voice and use the entire speech apparatus, instead of just using a partial area, as in other styles (e.g., classical).

Singers and speakers thus have the ability to use their voice over a long period without tiring.

WHO WE

HELP

Beginners

Do you love singing in the shower, in the car, or just for yourself? Maybe you’ve never had singing lessons before but want to get to know your voice better and discover what you’re capable of. Whether you’re a bit shy or simply enjoy singing for fun – we’ll help you learn the basics, build your confidence, and sing your favorite songs with joy and ease.

Advanced Singers

Vielleicht stehst du bereits als Sängerin auf der Bühne oder bist Frontsänger einer Band. Professioneller Gesangsunterricht hilft dir dabei dich auf eine Aufnahmeprüfung oder die Recording Session im Studio vorzubereiten. Wenn du Angst hast vor Publikum zu singen oder mit einem Profi an deinen Lieblingssongs arbeiten möchtest, dann können wir dich bei deinem Vorhaben unterstützen.

Speakers / Actors

If speaking is essential in your profession, you can give your voice even more expression and increase its resilience with the right technique. Although you continue to speak in a relaxed manner, your voice gets more resonance and thus sounds louder.

FIND YOUR VOICE

In almost all areas of life, it’s important to be true to yourself. But especially in singing, many try to sound like someone else. In singing lessons, we show you that you already have the best prerequisites for a trained singing voice within you. Our goal is to find and train your voice. YOU are YOU and should stay as YOU are.

Singing means giving your emotions a voice. So that the fun isn’t lost in all the seriousness, we also work with high-quality backing tracks for the vocal exercises. Real band feeling even for vocal exercises at home.

Professional Backing Tracks

GOOD TO KNOW

What causes hoarseness when singing or speaking?

Hoarseness is often caused by uncontrolled tension in the vocal cords area. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the voice has been overstrained. Even if the voice sounds hoarse, it hasn’t necessarily suffered permanent damage.

Reasons for hoarseness when singing can be:

  • Singing or speaking with incorrect technique

  • Stress

  • Inflammation due to voice drying (e.g., from smoking)

  • Allergies that affect the voice

  • Beginning vocal nodules

If the voice is hoarse over a longer period, this can lead to edema. These are swellings of the vocal cord mucous membranes. This prevents the vocal cords from vibrating as quickly as usual. Edema also prevents the vocal cords from closing. This causes air leakage when singing or speaking.

For this reason, the voice sounds hoarse and has an airy and darker sound.

In singing lessons, you learn the right technique with which you can train your voice sustainably and thus prevent hoarseness. This gives you more endurance when singing or speaking.

If it turns out during singing lessons that the hoarseness is due to illness (inflammation, vocal nodules, edema, etc.), your teacher will advise you to visit an ENT doctor.

Common Breathing Mistakes

Deep breathing / abdominal and flank breathing is important when singing and speaking. This causes the diaphragm to lower when inhaling and fills the lungs with air. You can feel on your flanks and abdomen how the air flows deep into your body.

We train the breathing muscles so that we manage to keep the diaphragm down as long as possible and release the air as controlled as possible. This control is called “support” in singing lessons. 

For long notes, the support helps us to let only as much air escape as necessary. For short notes (e.g., staccato), the support provides the voice with a strong impulse.

Shallow Breathing

One of the most common mistakes in singing and speaking is so-called shallow breathing / high breathing. You feel how the air flows into your upper chest and your shoulders rise.

Stress

This effect often occurs in stressful situations. With shortness of breath caused by exertion or nervous strain, the movements of the upper body during breathing can be particularly noticeable.

Superficial

This leads to only shallow breathing and the air flowing out too quickly. As a result, the body has only little air available for longer sentences or melodies.

Correctly Switching Between Chest Voice and Head Voice

The change between chest and head voice is called “register change” in singing lessons.
In some music styles, the audible break during the register change is intentional. Yodeling is a typical example. But this effect is also used as a stylistic device in country music.

In modern singing, an audible break is usually undesirable.

When singing, you might encounter a note that is too high for your chest voice. To continue controlling your voice, you must switch to head voice. The head voice sounds somewhat brighter and possibly thinner compared to the chest voice. However, you are able to sing higher notes without your throat feeling tight and cramped.

If you want to “switch” between both voices in a controlled way, you must first be able to work confidently with your head voice register. Only when you can use both voice registers deliberately can the break be smoothed out.

Your singing teacher will show you some exercises in the lessons on how to properly use your head voice and thereby increase your vocal range. They will help you find a “mixed voice” where chest and head voice seemingly “merge.”

This mixed sound (also called mixed voice) helps you flexibly switch between the available registers.

Do you have more questions?

Singing lessons is a broad field. In singing, small things and details often matter. These often have a very big effect. Send us a message with your questions so we can answer them during your trial lesson!
