Private lessons
I approach voice training holistically. My methods connect the mind, body, and voice to promote mindfulness, creativity, and expression.
Are you a total beginner with no experience in singing or movement? Is something holding you back from singing, perhaps some deep-rooted inhibition or someone else's voice judging you?
Or are you an experienced or professional singer who wants to re-discover a sense of joy and effortlessness in your craft? Would you like to explore your creative, interpretative, and improvisational skills to step outside your comfort zone and move closer to your most genuine expression?
Whoever you are and whatever your background is, there is a space for you here.
The voice and the person are inseparable. We cannot look at the voice without looking at the person and vice versa.
Without understanding the voice as a holistic system, there will always be a part missing, a sense of lack and an insatiable need to search for more external tools and resources or a need for change in external circumstances.
Emotions influence physiological processes which in turn affect the voice and its acoustic characteristics. In our 1-1 work together, we will therefore combine vocal and physical training with inner work to create a compassionate relationship with ourselves through voice and movement practices. My wish for you is to be able to use the tools you will learn daily, as a way to meet yourself, attune to your senses, emotions, and express yourself with integrity.
We will work on building a singing practice that meets your needs, incorporating songs you enjoy. We will explore your creativity and expand your mental and physical limits to liberate the voice within.
“Engaging in self-awareness practices, such as voice training, is one of the things which never fails to give back to you.”
- Andria Antoniou
“My ultimate aim as a performer and teacher is to give way to the voice within to be heard and to our being as a whole to be heard. From this space our innate creativity, our inner child and full potential can be unlocked and re-awakened.”
- Andria Antoniou

- Andria Antoniou

PIANO LESSONS
As a piano teacher I aim to adapt on each student’s stylistic preferences and abilities, whether he/she is a child or adult, in order to construct the most suitable lesson plan.
Similarly to my approach in teaching singing, during piano training I incorporate body awareness exercises to develop a sense how the whole body feels when playing the piano. Incorporating your whole body into your piano playing gives you freedom and allows you to feel all the glory and beauty at the piano. Eventually the aim is to feel that your instrument is a natural extension of your body, the two working together with synergy.
You may choose to focus on:
-
classical piano training
-
modern piano (pop styles, jazz harmony)
-
piano accompaniment when singing
-
or a combination of the above
