One of my professional clients. I work for her voice sustainability/health for the singer’s career demands, the training, conditioning and some of my technical tips she can grant some advantages from. . When training means health means resilience means repertoire effectiveness.

Well, she was a pretty different voice: it has taken the usual nine months to really start hearing what it looks like her voice is. It is the timing of the first smooth tissues adaptations, now without rushing have to maintain the excellent practice to maintain the complete development that in literature is commonly said in the 2-3 years and in my practice I find the same.
Now while she is in more satisfying repertoire we are working on all the management on all the tessitura, the higher notes will just grow physiological, have now to control not to push them even if for a competition… longer horizons are more important. . cossumethod is the cross bridging of advanced functional biomechanics finding into the context of voice and their specific relevance to serve voice production and artistic voice, both spontaneous and technical.

She comes from an international soloist career in classical music that a malpractice during an abdominal surgery has interrupted (the surgeon has been convicted).
Courses and workshops are available online from everywhere and in person can be arranged. .
She missed something and she started finding it in 6 weeks intensive work together. . It happened in London, it happened partly streaming live on YouTube, she happily recorded her first songs after. The entire streamed and a little 7 minutes of what was.
Singer since very young, it is twelve months she studies with me. You will hear that she is quite in order but there is a huge difference in bewteen the Dianne Reeves and Alicia Keys’s songs and Withney Houston’s one: this is the diaphragm connection that I long looked for her, not perfect yet in all the passages but connected and so it will be possible to train it and have those passages perfects just by using it and remaining connected. Enjoy!
A little talk with the great italian singer Eleonora Bianchini and why a professional like her, ranked 4th italian jazz singer, a stable duo with Enzo Pietropaoli, great career, winner of a merit scholarship at Berklee College, came having lessons with me. What did she found in our work, why it was important to her. Enjoy!
She is my students since a couple of years now. She arrived with a technical problem that made here not being well in the pitch and a too much air in the sound. We worked just technically for 18 month and then I could convince her, that she always refused in the past to sing in a class Recital. This is her first demo recorded in three hours after the summer pause. She is now involved in composing her first songs, looking for a band, to imagine projects and study some repertoire. Enjoy!
Camilla is 17 years old and we started our lessons on January 2016. I am her very first voice teacher. This is her in the recital of 14th July 2016: Dolly Parton’s Jolene , Burt Bacharach’s I say a little prayer for you and Walk on by, Calling you from the movie Bagdad Café. Enjoy.
A typical exemple of a long work. Here 16, she has studied with me for 6 years. This was in 2015. Great personality, more jazzy than what she thinks of herself. Here some covers and one of her original songs. Enjoy.
