GET TO KNOW THE COLOURS OF YOUR VOICE
I started teaching singing in 2018 while I was studying at the University of Chichester Conservatoire. After graduating from the three-year BA Music Performance degree, I got to teach solo, group and choir sessions at the Miss Carla Dance Performing Arts School. Currently, I tutor group and private singing lessons at the WAF singing school in Tartu and Tallinn as well as teach group lessons at Viljandi Gymnasium.
I am constantly seeking ways to educate myself further to be of help for my students. I have achieved this through completing courses on teaching, vocal health, CVT (Complete Vocal Technique) as well as voice yoga and even Alexander Technique.
Throughout my career and studies, I have been able to learn from professional musicians and apply this knowledge to my teaching and singing. I am incredibly passionate about helping my students find the various sides of their voice and encouraging them to feel comfortable in using their voice. I am very keen on giving my students all the support and advice they need to achieve their optimal singing voice.
WHO ARE THE LESSONS FOR?
The lessons are for anyone who wants to learn singing – all ages and abilities are welcome.
I am experienced in teaching children aged 3+ as well as young adults and adults.
WHAT DO I NEED FOR MY LESSONS?
Students who wish to have lessons face-to-face do not need to bring anything. You can just pick a song that you would like to start learning.
To connect with me through a video call lesson, you will need a laptop/tablet or a mobile phone. In addition to this, you will need a device for playing a backing track. It is also recommended that backing tracks are played through a speaker.
If you are able to accompany yourself during singing, you are welcome to do so.
WHERE DO LESSONS TAKE PLACE?
All lessons for my international students are currently online.
If you wish to have lessons face-to-face, you have the opportunity to visit WAF singing school in Tartu or Tallinn.
TESTIMONIALS
I was a bit nervous and insecure going into my first singing lesson because singing in front of someone else, especially a stranger, was one of my biggest fears. That was one of the reasons why I decided to start taking singing lessons in the first place - to overcome my fears, and with that, to acquire the right technique and confidence. Johanna made the lesson so enjoyable with her warm and sincere nature within the first few minutes, that my fear of showing and using my voice disappeared in the first session. In addition to being a professional and very good vocal coach, her qualities as a music therapist could be felt in every lesson, creating a free and safe environment to try new things without feeling uncomfortable.
Definitely a great experience and development!
I am immensely grateful!
Going to Johanna's singing lessons gives me a lot of motivation and will to make my dreams come true. I really like the way she encourages me - after Johanna's lessons I always feel really inspired and full of positive energy and I feel very hopeful about my journey as a singer. She is a very sincere, honest and caring person. Our singing lessons are always a lot of fun, she gives great examples and is able to explain things in a way that is easy to understand. I've learnt so many new and interesting things in Johanna's lessons, and practical tips that really help. What makes the whole thing even better is that she is a great singer herself - it gives me the reassurance and confidence that all her tricks, tricks and teaching methods work and that I am in good hands.
If anybody feels they have a singing talent, an interest in music and a desire to pursue it, I wholeheartedly recommend lessons with Johanna - she is the one who can turn talent into a true artist.
As someone who is completely afraid of singing, I can say that Johanna was able to create a safe and warm environment for me in her classes and make me feel comfortable. Johanna has a personal approach when teaching, according to my wishes and abilities. She is able to explain the different nuances of singing and music, from anatomy to notes, even to a complete beginner.
I find that the knowledge Johanna shares has a therapeutic effect.
I have always loved singing. I knew I could sing in tune and I knew I liked to sing, but I didn't really know how to control my voice. I had to try it, so I wouldn't regret it later 🙂
Today, I have been singing with Johanna for almost a year. It's been a very exciting, educational and skill-enhancing journey.
Johanna is a great teacher, always in a good mood and always puts her heart and soul into her work. I always leave our singing lesson with such a good feeling, good mood and the motivation to continue practising on my own.
The way my voice has become so much more confident and beautiful is so awesome. Anyone with a singing itch in their soul should give it a try!
