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 take 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 a 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 the willpower to make my dreams come true.
I really like the way she encourages me - after Johanna's class, I'm always really inspired, full of positive energy and I feel very hopeful about my path as a singer. She is an extremely sincere, honest and caring person. Our singing lessons are always great fun, she gives good examples and explains in a way that is easy to understand. In Johanna's classes I have learned a lot of new, interesting and practical tricks that really help. What makes the whole thing even better is that she can sing really well herself - it gives me the assurance and confidence that all her tips, tricks and teaching methods are working and I'm in good hands.
If anyone feels that they have singing talent, an interest in music and want to do it, I wholeheartedly recommend taking lessons from Johanna, she is the one who is able to turn talent into a real artist.
Being a person who is afraid of singing, I can say that Johanna was able to create a safe and warm environment for me in her lessons and help me open up. Johanna has a personal approach to teaching, adjusted to my wishes and capabilities. She is also able to explain to a complete beginner the various nuances of singing and music, from anatomy to notes.
I would even say that Johanna's shared knowledge has a therapeutic effect.
I have always loved singing. I knew that I was in tune when singing and that I liked to sing, but I did not know how to properly use my voice and I had not developed the skill in any way.
In order not to regret it later, it was necessary to try it out 🙂
I have been singing with Johanna for almost a year now. It has been a very exciting, educational and skill-enhancing journey. Johanna is an excellent teacher, always in a good mood and does her work with passion. I always leave the singing lesson with such a good emotion, I get compliments, good wishes and enthusiasm to continue practicing independently. The way my voice has developed so much is awesome - it has become more solid and beautiful.
Everyone with a wish to learn how to sing should try it!
