Singing Lieder? Bach? Mozart? Schubert? Brahms? Wagner? Schönberg?
Wanting to brush up your German pronunciation with a native speaker?

As an accompanist and continuo player, I have many years experience in working with singers, and I have studied vocal technique myself for several years. I can offer you expert advice on your pronunciation questions and problems that go beyond simply being a native speaker of the language.

I have recently taught a German pronunciation class at Victoria University Wellington - coaching lieder from Handel and Mozart to Schubert, Hugo Wolf and Richard Strauss - which proved very popular with the students! I have also been German pronunciation coach for Drew Minter's singing masterclass at the International Summer School "Amherst Early Music" in Boston/U.S.A. in 1999.

I am happy to coach German vocal music of any period or style. I am particularly familiar not only with the baroque repertory, but also with classical and romantic lieder, which I love dearly.

Please note that you will need to bring your own accompanist to sessions, or work without accompaniment - for you to derive full benefit from your session, I will need to be able to concentrate entirely on your singing. biography

As I do not have a piano available in my normal teaching space in Island Bay, I will be happy to come to your home or rehearsal studio.
If you wish to work without an accompanist, I'd prefer you to come to Island Bay for your lesson.
