Romy L. — Singing Teacher — Gay Village, Montreal

As a professional singer, singing teacher for 7 years, and choir director originally from Belgium, I tailor all my lessons to your specific needs and goals. I trained at the IMEP and in Liège to earn a Master's degree in vocal performance (yes, I know, this degree really exists!). Together, we will choose one or two songs that you love and want to use to work on your techniqueperformance. As a performer, I have extensive experience in Belgium and France, notably performing in the choruses of the Opéra de Liège. I have taught in official music schools in Belgium, teaching choir as well as individual singing (classical and contemporary). Currently, I am mainly focusing on my teaching career and completing my Estill Voice Model certification.

Have you always wanted to sing like Beyoncé or Lady Gaga? Want to understand the true definition of chest voice and head voice? I can help you! My methodology is based on traditional opera vocal training and the Estill Model, which—among other things!—taught me how to sing pop music and belt high notes. Depending on your goals, you will learn a variety of skills to help you become increasingly independent and, above all, confident. To accompany you, I provide backing tracks or piano accompaniment, which I can transpose to suit your vocal range. - Bodywork using various toning and relaxation exercises; - Breath control; - Kinesthetic awareness; - Learning the 13 figures of the Estill Model (a figure corresponds to a specific part of the vocal anatomy); - Exploring different vocal timbres (classical, twang, belt, speech, etc.); - Vocal phrasing (legato, staccato, riffs/runs, etc.); - Diction and healthy projection; - Vocal support; - Song interpretation and performance. I always create a warm, supportive atmosphere filled with kindness and humor. For me, it's essential that you enjoy coming to lessons and feel completely comfortable with me :) For the piano lessons, I will help any beginner. Like voice lessons, I tailor everything depending on you. You want to play OST, classical or modern ? Maybe you would like to learn how to read chords so you can accompany yourself or play in a band. You can trust me!
