Singing Lessons
As soon as you enter Cultuurhuis de Paulus, you are welcomed with a big smile. You are offered a glass of water or a cup of tea, and the first question you are asked is: "How are you doing?"
Natalie makes sure you feel truly seen and is genuinely interested in who you are and what is going on. Within the lessons, there is room for more than just the song you are working on.
Singing is a fantastic way to express your emotions, to tell stories, and to completely lose yourself in the music. But this is actually quite contradictory to what is often expected of us in everyday life. Or in typical Dutch fashion: "act normal, that's crazy enough already". Stay still. Swallow your tears.
In our singing lessons, we turn things around. Just be silly and express yourself fully! Your emotions are welcome; you are allowed to let them be heard and seen. Move... however you feel! Let it all out, make yourself heard. And those tears...? They are more than welcome, just like that big smile!
Practically speaking, we start the lesson with a chat, warm up our voices, and then get to work on your favorite song. We experiment with your vocal sound, explore the meaning you want to give to the song and the story behind it, and work on your own version of it. Do you write your own songs? You can bring those to class too! I’d be happy to help you further with them.
Twice a year, Natalie organizes a performance for all singing students and her choirs, young and old, where the audience is also welcome! It is also a perfect excuse to work on your presentation skills .
What We
Offer
Singing lessons at Voice Up are for young and old. We sing your favorite songs at the top of our lungs, work on your singing technique, and most of all, have fun making music together.
For children, there's the Voice Up children's choir every Wednesday (ages 8-12). The lessons are starting on the 16th of September, but kids can join at any time during the term as we are still developing the choir.
Adults can join the Jazz & Improvisation group class on Wednesday mornings from 10-11 am. Or sing harmony in a small group on Friday mornings from 10-11 am. We start the week of September 14th. Send me a message if you'd like to join.
On December 12, I'm organizing a concert for everyone taking part in the singing lessons. More information on this will follow soon.
Want to know more? The prices are listed below. The group classes start in September.
