Marie Goetzinger

Hello everyone!

I’m Marie, a professional singer and educator with a passion for both music and language.

Since 2012, I've been dedicated to teaching voice, and since 2015, I’ve been helping students master the French language, welcoming learners of all ages and levels.

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced, I’m here to help you reach your full potential in voice, technique, jazz, improvisation, and French language skills.

About me: Originally from France, I specialize in voice training and French lessons. Over the years, I’ve had the honor of winning Lorraine’s prestigious vocal competition, Les Espoirs de la Chanson (The Hopes of Music).

My musical journey has taken me around the world, performing professionally alongside talented musicians and collaborating with various bands in France, Boston, New York, and South America. I also had the pleasure of recording a full-length album with the Nancy Ska Jazz Orchestra and have released several songs on YouTube with my quartet. I continue to perform regularly, sharing my love for music with live audiences.

I hold a degree in classical and jazz singing from the Nancy Conservatory of Music, and I was awarded a scholarship to study Jazz Composition and Performance at Berklee College of Music. In 2023, I furthered my teaching credentials with a pedagogical diploma from the Alliance Française in Lima.

For our first classes, I want to learn what the students expectations and experiences are. Also what kind of repertoire they'd like to work on. It will all depend on the students needs and goals. This will help me determine how to work with them.

VOICE:

I love to meet new vocalists and help them achieve their goals, creating with them their own routine. Thanks to my professionals and personals experiences I feel I can help my students to explore themselves, build a strong technique and develop their confidence. At the beginning of the lesson, we will work on vocal warms up, vocaleses and breathing exercises. Some of my students use notebooks to write down what they need to practice, what inspire them at the moment and homeworks. Then we will focus on a song. We will see the technical part (we'll find their key, work on the rhythm, melody, chords, projection) and emotional part (words, dynamics, performance). Little by little, we will create their own repertoire. 

FRENCH:

I teach you how to have conversations, improve your grammar, speak fluently, even sing in French if you'd like! I would be happy to help you achieve your goals through exercises and discussions. French is my mother tongue so I can really help you with the pronunciation, the rhythm of the language and we can do a list of all the expressions you can use for your futures conversations.
