Breathing in Harmony with the Voice

After the success of the first two workshops, we are pleased to offer you an expanded programme again. This workshop places an even greater focus on practical exercises, live interactions and valuable, immediately applicable insights. The structure remains the same…

theory + practice + interactivity 

…but with even more individual attention so that each participant is actively involved in the process.

In this workshop, we will focus intensively on vocal breathing – the basis for expressive and healthy singing. You will learn how to control your breathing correctly, develop it and use it specifically for your voice.

This is an in-depth and practice-oriented training that you have not yet experienced in this form.

For new participants: This is an excellent opportunity to take your vocal practice to the next level.
For returning students: You already know how valuable these workshops are for your voice.

‘After the workshop, I felt real control over my voice for the first time. It's not just theory – you go home with real skills!"
– Petra, former participant
