• Video
where I will gradually post the collection of unique lessons with this astonishing teacher.
I wish I would have time to transcribe and translate the text. Maybe at some point I will.
If there are people who are willing to do it, please contact me. That would be really a gift for all music-lovers. Because this is unprecedented. I know many people love watching her lessons even without understanding what exactly she is saying. But it is really worth it. Every detail matters. She is truly a specialist who can answer any, and I really mean it, any question and solve any problem. Please enjoy!
Every lesson consists of the Part I= warming up and Part II= working on the pieces.
Please follow the channel below:

[@LaylahniJade]

As an opera student, I find it so fascinating that I actually get what is being said here even though I don't speak the language... Simply because of the examples being given and the physical movements.

[@suep9445]

Yes! I'm in a classical choir - one of the usual multitude of alti, and your point is relevant for me as well.

[@LaylahniJade]

@@suep9445 Yeah, you can even hear what it is that is being worked on. The student was over rounding in parts and it was throwing her sound back a little too much to cut through an orchestra without over singing... So the teacher is working on getting her to consistently place her sound more forward on her hard palate. I got all that from just watching and listening to the change in sound and it is helpful in my own work on the song because I have similar habits... Pretty cool

[@sambaritone]

Me too, takes me back to my singing career.

[@renatoaraujinho]

I am from Brazil, I know a little bit russian, but I agree, it doesn't matter what language you are saying, but diaphragm, intensity, closed sound, open sound, sound range can be transmited universally when you are involved in the sound communication.

[@giuseppelogiurato5718]

Yes, the "finger under the nose routine" is beyond borders, for sure. 😉

[@wasanasaw]

I’m a dude - but if she was coaching me and told me to sing it like that, in that octave, exactly like she did …. I’d just do it!! I wouldn’t argue. I’d be terrified to disobey. 🤣🤣 Seriously - amazing coach. WOW

[@giuseppelogiurato5718]

I'd pay money to see a dude sing this, for sure! ✂️🥎🥎!

[@baktom]

What an amazing teacher - such a keen attention to the smallest detail.

[@allonszenfantsjones]

As my dear teacher used to say "your ear is in your nose". Also "there is no up or down" The toughest part of true vocal production. Note how the coach stops her every time she wanders off and gives her the thumbs up when she's back on track. That's why you have to have someone to alert you, otherwise you'll fall in the trap of listening to yourself instead if feeling when it is free and unforced.

[@rrgallo967]

What does "your ear is in your nose" mean? What's that meant to imply/convey?

[@michaelamadivocalreality.2052]

@@rrgallo967 I wonder because it doesn't depict what the voice teacher was teaching Vera in the masterclass. She was much more concerned about Vera understanding how to breathe into the shape of the vowel and also to always breathe deeply using Appoggio to release the sound NOT producing from the nose or that "your ear is in your nose", if not Vera would be having a glorious NASAL sound if she was producing the sound from her ear like he said his teacher said is in her NOSE!!!!

[@aflethgsb]

The teacher has also a much clearer diction in German than her student .

[@coloraturaElise]

@@rrgallo967 That you can tell how to place the volume by the vibrations, the physical sensations behind the nose, in the resonating cavities (sinuses).

[@lourdeszamalloa30]

What did your teacher mean by "your ear is in your nose"?

[@meghanmonroe]

Oh, to have a fraction of either of their talents.

[@olaatoyebi1946]

[@meghanmonroe]

@Jane To be clear, I'm not personally a huge fan of sopranos. They can definitely come across as showy. But objectively, it's just ignorant to say this isn't top tier music. It's Mozart lol

[@1993igli]

That’s why russian school system is the best . You don’t see this dedication style and I don’t give a shit who you are type of coaching. She treats her like all her students and i love that. Music coaching is amazing. It’s a bond for life and the gratitude you have for the teacher is beyond any word. It’s not just a job. Music is a gift and not everyone has it. Getting help like this is what makes people believe in magic . And when she sees her in the big screen or the opera house... the tears and all hard work payed off. It’s something that makes her proud even more than her parents or family. Because no matter what she made you who you are as an artist. You have motivation and talent... the real work is of the professor.... with online school many missed this intimate moment. This is how legends are made.

@@user-yk7ns9df9wкакую глупость несусветную вы несете)) Инструмент певца - его тело, его голос, который он со стороны не слышит, в отличие от музыканта. Вам бы обратиться к азам анатомии и физиологии. Без постановки голоса с помощью грамотного наставника невозможно идеально петь. Что же до артиста оркестра, то прежде, чем его допустили в тот самый оркестр, его много лет учили обращаться с инструментом. Ну, и вишенка на торте: дрессировщиком оркестра является дирижер или руководитель ансамбля. Без него - это сброд, умеющий извлекать звуки. Не более. Даже, если каждый по отдельности талантлив.

Fascinating! Such a brilliant coloratura, so much improvement from the teacher! This is a fabulous aria and the teacher is making the already excellent singer - extraordinary! And I don't know a word of Russian. But you just need to be very familiar with this second aria of the Queen of the Night. She is really strong, this aria requires great strength.

Ah mouth shape is so important to the fraction for notes like these. As well as diaphragmatic bounce and vocal placement for resonance l. The only other thing I think that comes close is metal screaming bc the note is dependent on mouth shape so much.

Извините за такое неудобоваримое объяснение, я непрофессионал.
