Who is at the right place with me?
I bring with me an optimal mixture of practical experience and theoretical knowledge. As a distinguished voice expert, I have worked successfully with many singers and actors and people in professions with high vocal stress. I am a competent address when it comes to an individual voice analysis or when the singing and speaking voice has overload symptoms.
As a dramatic soprano I have sung more than 30 leading roles on opera stages, including Katja Kabanova, Fidelio-Leonore, Madelaine (A.Chenier), Marie Wozzeck, Amelia (Ballo in Maschera), Leonora (Forza del Destino), Abigaille (Nabucco), Lady Macbeth, Madama Butterfly, Turandot, Tosca, Venus-Elisabeth (Tannhäuser), Elsa (Lohengrin), Sieglinde (Walküre), Senta (Holländer), Brünnhilde (Götterdämmerung / Siegfried) and last but not least Isolde and many more.
And as an experienced voice teacher and mentor, my teaching specialty is to support singers in developing their strengths in an open, honest and constructive atmosphere.
Classes are held in German or English. Lessons are also possible via Skype.
Convince yourself
Consultation lesson: At the beginning I offer an hour in which we get to know each other. I think it is important that both singers and voice teachers feel comfortable working with each other and that they feel that they can trust in the process. This lesson lasts 60 minutes and we talk about your wishes and I show you the next steps with singing exercises. I will also be happy to discuss your repertoire and other professional topics with you.
