What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

In the first lesson or trial lesson, we talk about your goals and musical background. Then we try out a few exercises to warm up your voice and then you sing a song for me so I can hear what's already there and assess your needs! And then we start working on improving your skills with technical exercises connected to the song. I usually set up an online folder for each student with practice material, a song list and notes about each lesson.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

University of Music "Franz Liszt" Weimar, Germany (2014) Bachelor of Music - Jazz Voice Studies Berklee College of Music, Boston (2014 - 2015) Pop/R&B Studies Major: Songwriting University for Music and Theater in Hamburg, Germany (2013) Popular Music Certificate Pop and Songwriting Studies

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

I would suggest to take trial lessons with one or two teachers and then take lessons with your preferred teacher for at least one or two months to see your improvements and how you like it!
