Profession singer and voice teacher with over 13 years of experience. I teach students of all ages (children, teens, adults) and levels (beginners, advanced). Thanks to my diverse musical background, my lessons cover many music genres from modern pop, rock, soul, R&B to musicals and pop-opera. The lessons are in English, French or Arabic.
Music Background & Credentials
I have a musicology degree in occidental music from the Lebanese National Higher Conservatory. I also earned certificates in music teaching and performance, acting workshops, and completed a Lyrique opera certificate as well. I also know how to play basic piano and guitar.
Professional Experience
If you are a beginner or advanced looking for a good technique and perfect resonance, this is the place to start! No matter which level you might be, you will learn the theory about body and voice anatomy, ear training, diction, body language, performance, audition/competition preparation, as well as understanding sound production. Defining bad habits, removing vocal weaknesses are both mandatory to anyone willing to work on its voice development, perfect resonance, and technique progress. Remember that singing is natural, and the sound produced by the vocal cords is carried on the breath. This is the technique of ‘bel canto’ which means beautiful singing. Each lesson is divided into 3 main parts: • Breathing exercises, correct posture reminder, and stretching mobility • Warm-up exercises to stretch the vocal muscles: starting with a single-note, interval, and scale using pure vowels, words, and song phrases. Humming, straw, lip rolls, vocal sirens, Plenty of exercises tailored based on your level, ensuring never to make you feel bored of this essential routine • 3rd part is usually the fun part where you apply all the basics into a song study and interpretation. We agree on the choice of your repertoire, pitch, and rhythm, try to sing-along with the original song, Acappella, acoustic, and karaoke. I look forward to singing with you!
Teaching & Other Details
My teaching philosophy is “Your vocal wisdom” I believe in transparency between the tutor and the student, with constant feedback. A positive self-encouraging attitude to trust the progress, stay patient, and remember that all kinds of arts are a lifelong discovery. After every lesson, the student is satisfied, passionate to know more about the voice. The class is based on technique at first, with a fun twist and imagination.
