"A piano is a piano,
and a violin is a violin.
A voice is a person".
Peter Pears
CANTA CON CECILIA
Your singing journey with me available online or in person in Dresden.
I have always been fascinated by the voice — by communication, by self-expression. Opera and theatre opened the door to all of this for me and continue to inspire me to express myself through my voice and my body on stage. During my study, which has always had its focus almost exclusively on the voice, I could experience how connected it is to us, to who we are, to what we live. Voice, soul, body, awareness of what we want to tell on stage, attention to our needs. With my stage experience, my studies in Italy and Germany, and my further trainings in voice therapy and body awareness through the practice of vocal yoga, I am grateful to guide singers along their own vocal journey, leading to self-knowledge and voice authenticity, with a respectful and holistic approach to the individual needs.

WORK WITH ME
Singing lessons
I look forward to guiding you in the search for your voice, in connection with the person you are, with your desire and need to express yourself through your voice, and to do so with respect and knowledge of your body and mind. I am often confronted with singers who have lost the joy of singing along the way. When has it been lost? How would you feel if you were able to rejoice in your singing now, without thinking about all there is still to achieve, without comparing yourself to other singers, but living and walking your own path in search of your unique voice? It would be an honor for me to be able to do this together with you.
Singing Retreats and Masterclass
If you want to gift yourself with a calm and slow weekend immerse into singing, vocal yoga and mindfulness, check out my retreats!
Belcanto masterclass is an intensive week dedicated to Italian repertoire, with focus on your personal repertoire and your wellbeing as singer. An intensive experience of sharing and committing to a deeper work, with a concert at the end!
SingYoga
This is the community to be part of if you want to take care not only of your voice but also of your mind and body. How would it feel to be connected to your body, have tools to deal with pressure before performing, to prevent tensions from arising and to enjoy your voice? SingYoga takes care about all of these, with the bonus of being part of a community of singers who share the same path and dont feel they have to do it all alone. We will explore the voice and the resonances in combination with yoga poses, connecting with our breath and taking care of our well-being.
Check out my monthly online membership and my workshops live in Dresden and Munich.
