Why this workshop?

I do not guess. I diagnose. Before I teach you how to use your voice, I run a Bio-Vocal diagnosis. What comes out of it is technique that is healthy, efficient and free of fatigue.

An ensemble
does not forgive shortcuts.

If your voice is not well built, five months of singing in a group will wear it down. That is why we start by understanding what your voice actually does — not by handing out sheet music.

Singing with others demands pitch, stamina and ear. All three can be trained — but only if there is technique underneath that holds up.

What makes it different
  • Bio-Vocal Coaching™ MethodThe same one I use one to one, applied to a group.
  • Vocal biomechanicsWe work on what your body actually does when you sing.
  • Theory and practice from session oneYou understand what you are doing, not just repeat it.
  • Healthy vocal techniqueSing more and tire less, not the other way round.
  • Every level is welcomeI level you and place you in the voice part that fits you.

The road to the stage

From the first note to the stage

Four stages. None of them gets skipped, and they all end in the same place: you, on stage, singing in front of people who came to see you.

Etapa 1
Foundations and diagnosis Bio-Vocal diagnosis, active listening and shared breathing. We place your voice.
Etapa 2
Audition and ensemble Voice parts assigned and first multi-voice pieces. You start blending without disappearing.
Etapa 3
Staging and rehearsals The show repertoire gets built. Staging, movement, expression and stamina.
December
Showcase / Concierto final Dress rehearsal and performance for an audience. The day everything else was for.

Before you ask

What todos asks me

I have never sung in a group. Can I join?

Yes. There is no entrance audition and every level is welcome. You start with a Bio-Vocal diagnosis, which is how everyone starts, and from there I place you in the voice part that fits you. Nobody is left out for not knowing.

The cycle already started. Can I still join?

Come to the sample class and we will see. It is free and with no commitment: you take the full session, I read your voice, and I tell you honestly whether it makes sense to join now or wait for the next cycle. I would rather tell you no than charge you for something that will not serve you.

Do I need to read music?

No. We work by ear and with method. Theory comes in from the first session, but explained so you can use it while singing, not to pass an exam.

Can I take both workshops?

Yes, and many people do. They are different: On Stage is musical theatre — character, acting, a staged number. Shuffleando is choral ensemble with the repertoire the group chooses. One gives you the stage, the other gives you your ear.

Will I really perform in front of an audience?

Yes, in December. It is not a drill or an open rehearsal: it is a performance with an audience. The whole cycle is built so you reach that day without your voice shaking.

I already take one-to-one classes with you. Is this useful for me?

It is what will move you the most. In the one-to-one class we build your voice; in the ensemble you put it to the test with other voices, with staging and with an audience. They are two different things and they feed each other.

You pick the song.
I put you on stage.

The sample class is free and commits you to nothing. You come, you sing, I read your voice for you, and you decide.
