Opera & Classical Voice | International soprano | Lessons in 🇬🇧 🇵🇱 🇺🇦
Hello!
I’m an opera and classical singer with international performance experience and a strong academic background. I hold a Master’s degree in vocal performance from the Krzysztof Penderecki Academy of Music in Kraków, Poland, where I studied in the class of renowned soprano Prof. Katarzyna Oleś-Blacha.
As a two-time scholarship recipient from the Polish Ministry of Culture, I’ve performed on major stages in Poland and abroad, singing leading roles in opera and concert repertoire.
What I Offer:
I teach voice lessons in English, Polish, and Ukrainian, tailored to each student’s needs. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced singer, I focus on:
-
Building a healthy vocal technique
-
Developing musical expression and interpretation
-
Exploring classical, operatic, and oratorio repertoire
-
Preparing for auditions, competitions, and performances
My lessons are supportive, inspiring, and individually crafted to help you grow vocally and artistically.
Let’s bring out the best in your voice — I’d be happy to work with you!
Teaching Style
My teaching approach is grounded in classical vocal technique, with deep respect for each student’s unique voice, musicality, and personal goals.
Â
I focus on developing a healthy, flexible voice through:
-
Breath control
-
Body awareness
-
Efficient and sustainable vocal production
Every lesson is tailored to the student’s level and needs — whether beginner or advanced.
Alongside technical work, I emphasize musical expression and emotional communication, helping students not just sing accurately, but bring the music to life.
My lessons take place in a supportive, structured, and motivating environment that encourages both vocal growth and artistic confidence.
Whether you’re aiming for a music career, preparing for auditions, or simply singing for joy, I’m here to guide you with professionalism, care, and passion.
