Elevate your choral experience

Are you a chorister or vocalist who finds it challenging to:

  • Hold your part in SATB arrangement?
  • Hear and hit your notes without the help of a piano or fellow singers?
  • Tackle a tough leap in the melody with confidence?
  • Staying focused on your conductor instead of getting lost in the score?

If so, I can help.

I’m Olga, a passionate chorister and a music theory and ear training coach with over 20 years of experience. My approach is deeply rooted in the Russian solfeggio method, a system that has shaped countless successful musicians. I am here to nurture your musical ear and take your choral performance to the next level.

Ready to sing with confidence? Let’s get started!

What I don’t teach: Breathing techniques, improving range, or pronunciation — that's for your vocal coach.

What I do teach:

  • Sight-singing in key: I use a tonal approach, learning to hear stable and unstable notes within a scale, mastering melodic movements, recognising and hearing patterns, and training on challenging intervals like tritones.
  • Ear training: We identify intervals and chords by ear, focus on listening to and analysing musical elements, and improve overall aural skills.
  • Rhythm skills: We practice reading simple and complex rhythms, coordinating rhythms across different parts, and paying close attention to note values and rests.
  • Notation and music theory fundamentals: I help demystify musical notation, so you can independently understand and easily follow what's written in the score.

My goal is to help you connect your eyes, ears, and voice. This will elevate your musicianship, allowing you to enjoy choral singing even more and feel a deeper connection with your fellow choristers, the conductor, other musicians, and the music itself.

We’ll work on real choral pieces, including those you’re currently rehearsing, ensuring you’re ready to shine in your next performance.
