Vocal Coaching

I offer voice lessons in all styles and all levels.

I teach in both English and in Norwegian.

For NOK 700 I offer online vocal training for you to enjoy from the comfort of your own home!

Sales Conditions

I use the platform ZOOM.

Send me an e-mail at info@mariannevahl.com for availabilities.

How do I work?

In my vocal coaching, typically, in the first session we will go through some technical exercises and a song you bring. This in order to find out your wish for the training and to make a plan on how to get there. 

I base my teaching upon different teaching styles and techniques, such as the classical Bel Canto style and Complete Vocal Technique (CVT). I am an authorized teacher of CVT, and have studied music pedagogics and musicology at University of Oslo.

I use backing tracks from sites like YouTube when I teach, so great if you know the links to the tracks you want to use :-)

I do also teach the speaking voice.

If you suspect you have vocal health issues please seek medical help before booking voice lessons.

I wish to help you to use and develop your voice in a healthy and expressive way!

I teach both in groups and 1:1. For requests concerning group sessions or IRL lessons (Oslo) please message me on info@mariannevahl.com.

My philosophy

Both in my vocal coaching and in my philosophical counseling I take your wishes as my starting point for our training.

You are the expert of your life and of your voice. 

I can be a qualified person you can reflect together with - to explore your voice, your potential and your musical ambitions.

My motto is: "Your Voice, Your Way!"

It is not my taste, but your taste and artistic wishes that defines the training.

Free mini-course: 

When I teach my focus is on building confidence in the student, to inspire the student to grow both as a singer and as a person.

For you to get to know me and my work better, I now offer a FREE mini-course inspired by Stoic thinking :-)

Overthinking? Feeling overwhelmed? Then this course may be for you.

So, if you are curious about how to train your thinking inspired by philosophy - check out this FREEBIE!

Yes! I want the mini-course

Even though I like to both sing and teach different musical styles, my main experience is in classical singing.

In 2019 I was a Lidal North artist singing in two concerts in Oslo: "Arie Marathon" and  "Romance Evening". It was an amazing experience to perform with many of my favorite singers :-) 

Another highlight was in 2010 when I was invited by WWF to sing at the Bavarian representation in Brussel at the evening dialogue "Make Space for Nature", hosted by the Dutch Princess Laurentien. To contribute at such a meaningful event of great impact was a huge honor - a memory for life.

Here is a video of my performance in Frogner Church (2019) of the aria "Lascia ch'io Pianga" by the composer Händel.

For more videos, follow me on YouTube.

Philosophical Counseling for Performers.

This is a non-academic conversation where you choose the topic.

It is a conversation based upon principles for dialogue stemming back to the Philosopher Socrates.

As a philosophical counselor I can facilitate a diversity of subjects. However, lately I have specialized in dialogues helping performers sorting out artistic issues such as image building, sjanger choices, musical identity, authenticity, stage fright, interpretation and communication issues.

It is an opportunity for you to explore issues relevant for your performance practice.

So, do you want to try?

The conversation will normally be on Zoom, and I use the booking and Journal platform Easy Practice.

PHILOSOPHY AND SINGING!

Some of my favorite moments are when I can combine my passions for singing and philosophy.

I was so lucky to get this opportunity in 2012 in South Korea at a philosophy conference.

There I presented the paper "Philosophical Practice and the Human Voice", and combined the speech with singing two songs relevant for the article. The paper was later published in Journal of the APPA, and you can read it here..
