Singing
Course Description & Methodology
Pathway I – Individual Goal Program
This course is highly flexible and adapts to students’ needs. It is aimed at singers who already possess intermediate-level technical skills in opera singing. The course offers a personalized approach to improving technical and expressive skills. It is tailored to the students’ interests and needs, and the repertoire may range across different European styles and languages; however, the core of this course is bel canto, understood both as a musical style and as a vocal aesthetic and technique.
The student themselves determines the aim of this course in consultation with the teacher.
Pathway II – European Conservatory Preparation Program
The course, which prepares students for entrance examinations, is aimed at those who wish to continue their studies at European institutions of higher musical education. Students receive guidance on technical and stylistic aspects, as well as on the selection and preparation of their repertoire. The course also includes preparing pieces in languages other than Italian – the language of opera par excellence – such as French, German, English, Spanish, and Russian. This work will focus on both diction and comprehension of the sung texts. Students will be guided in selecting a repertoire suited to their vocal abilities, enabling them to perform to the best of their ability in the entrance examinations.
Both courses are flexible in their timetables. Lessons can take place once a week or at a different frequency agreed with the teacher.

Singing is dreaming, praying, reflecting, flying far away, but also communicating, studying, practicing and planning. A journey in search of beauty and truth.
