Introduction
Hi everybody! My name is Martina and I come originally from Italy! I am now based in Amsterdam and I recently graduated from the “Royal Conservatoire of The Hague” where I specialized in jazz singing with a minor in jazz guitar. My passion for music started when my mum gifted me a guitar at the age of six and from that moment I understood that there was a strong feeling that was connecting myself to music. I started playing classical guitar and later on I discovered a passion about singing too. It was such a pleasure to spend time singing and playing the guitar, learning new songs and challenging myself in getting better. At that time I loved to play pop tunes from very known artists such as Ed Sheeran, kT Tunstall, Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, Ingrid Michaelson and many more. I’ve always kept my ears open to other musical genres as well, listening to all kind of music and it is in that way that I really fell in love with jazz music too. Its rhythms, its melodies and its harmonic structures where capturing me; so I started to learn jazz tunes both with singing and with the guitar, getting inspired by beautiful voices such the ones from Ella Fitzgerald, Billy Holiday, Nat King Cole, Mel Torme’ and many more. Eventually I got to a point where I felt my biggest wish was to improve and make a bigger step in order to become a professional singer. From this desire, I decided to start my studies at the Conservatory of The Hague which gave me the tools to use the vocal technique as a support for my artistic expression. During the studies I didn’t become only a better singer, but a better musician. I had theory lessons, ear training courses, rhythm classes and so on. After this intense but beautiful journey, I feel I want to share my knowledge and help other singers to find their way of expressing (in a healthy way) through singing. I am ready to offer any support necessary in order to make your musical journey pleasant and motivating! If you want to book a lesson with me, before booking the trial lesson directly, please contact me on whatsapp and we will look for the best option together! Thank you :)
Course I: Vocal lessons
The vocal lessons are designed for the pupil’s needs, meaning that during the lessons we will work on whatever is there to improve in order to let you get the most from your singing voice!
During the lessons we will learn exercises to warm up and cool down the voice (so a pre- and a post- workout); we will work on vocal technique, doing specific exercises based on specific needs; we will work on the repertoire, choosing appropriate songs according to your taste and to what suits your voice the best. But, most of all, we are going to have FUN while learning and improving!
For the first trial lesson it would be ideal to bring one song that you know well and that you like to sing and preferably you sang already. You don’t have any song yet? no problem at all, we will start with nice exercises and we can choose together a song to work on!
