Course content

Read the vade mecum.
The annual programme is determined in consultation with the main teacher.

* Technical skill of the voice.
* Use of the body when singing: breathing, correct support, correct use of the body.
* Knowledge of vocalises, song repertoire - translating and reciting poetry.
* Oratorio: content of the work, its history, instrumentation, knowing how to choose your own arias.
* Opera: idem as oratorio. Going often to concerts, listening to CD's and reading.
* Individual lessons are necessary for the technique of each student, each person is made differently, each has its problems and difficulties. These cannot be solved in group lessons.
* Practice can sometimes be better dealt with in group lessons because the students listen to each other more (very important).
* Going to certain concerts together with students or listening to recordings that relate to the lessons.
* Before the exam: giving class concerts so that they learn how to perform in front of an audience. Possibly repeating the concert in order to perform even better.
