Description:

Greetings and welcome to my vocal studio!

Here, you will learn a healthy and solid vocal technique based on the bel canto method, which is applicable to all genres of vocal music.

My area of expertise lies in providing guidance to students aged 12 years and over, ranging from beginners to professionals. My private lessons are customised according to the students' individual experience, personal aspirations and requirements.

I help my students master the correct techniques for breathing, sound support, resonance and utilising their entire body as an instrument. Moreover, I make sure that I demystify the fundamental principles of singing during each session, enabling my students to gain more insight about their own instruments.

Building a strong foundation in vocal technique is crucial for enhancing a singer's musical career, and I always strive to create a supportive and enjoyable environment for my students. Through my teaching, my students have achieved significant breakthroughs, which is one of the most rewarding aspects of my job.

In addition to this, I actively perform as well. It is vital to exemplify the techniques that I teach, hence my performance schedule around the world. My passion lies in discovering and fine-tuning my students' vocal potential, allowing them to feel confident in their abilities. Singing brings immense joy, both to the singer and the listener, making it an honour to be a part of creating more beautiful music in the world.

I have a B.F.A in Vocal Performance from Carnegie Mellon University, where I specialised in classical voice, and an M.M. in Vocal Performance from the University of Oklahoma, where I was an Opera Fellow. You can read more about me on my website, and I look forward to working with you!

As a first-time vocal lesson taker, I was nervous but found exceptional teaching from Patricia. My aim was to enhance my vocal range and tone. Although I anticipated investing time and effort, I didn't expect to enjoy the lessons by much. However, with Patricia, I look forward to her weekly lessons as the highlight of my week. Patricia is a gifted teacher who understands the students' needs. She adapts her teaching to the students' needs and dynamically changes her explanations if required. Her upbeat encouragement is a great help for students with performance anxiety. Thanks to Patricia, my singing quality has improved significantly in a few lessons. I am thrilled to see how much I will improve under her instruction in the upcoming months and years. Finding a good teacher in any field is a challenge, but Patricia's students consider themselves lucky to have found an excellent teacher like her.

Recently, I commenced my work with Patricia and honestly, I must say that she is an awesome teacher. What I adore the most about her is the amount of dedication she puts in to establish strong fundamentals and focuses on enhancing the technique.

With her legitimate training and extensive knowledge, Patricia is an exceptional voice coach. She has a unique ability to provide clear explanations and is also notably patient, kind, and amicable. My weekly lessons with her are something I constantly anticipate- such a highlight of my week!

The experience of working with Patricia is a delight. As someone who has yet to engage in any sort of vocal instruction, I was at ease and felt efficient right from the outset. Patricia is very knowledgeable and affable, and I sense steady progress in my skillset after each session. I eagerly anticipate each and every lesson we have planned, as I am aware of how much closer I am getting to achieving my objectives. It is truly a pleasure collaborating with such a gifted and productive individual!
