Singing is the oldest and most direct form of musical expression. Throughout all history and culture, song has been the medium that is used to share, commune, entertain and pass down stories and folklore from one generation to the next. Singing is inseparable from the human experience that we all share consciously or unconsciously. The sound of our own voice causes the body and cells to resonate and vibrate. The singer is the instrument, and experiences first hand what it means to be a “resonant body”. Being and generating this resonating vibration is one of the healthiest and most satisfying experiences in life. It brings joy to both the singer and others.
At Madame Gartner’s Studio we foster confidence and creative self-expression, leading to a more fulfilling and integrated daily life. I believe in sharing the joy of singing and its profound effects as an important part of my own sense of purpose and way of life.
My lessons and guidance is catered to all levels from beginner to professional, and my decades of formal training, performing, and practice allow me to meet each student where they are. Beginners will build strong fundamentals from the start, and advanced students will be able to address the stumbling blocks and limitations holding them back from becoming their own unique, full voice and self-expression.
In Madame Gartner's Voice Studio, students learn to use their vocal cords in a healthy and playful way, building and expanding their voice through specific and strategic exercises.
A basic understanding of the principles of music will naturally be taught to ensure singing grounded in musical context. While YouTube is a wonderful platform, it will never substitute practice and study with an accomplished and conservatory trained professional.
One’s VOICE is as unique as a snowflake, and I (Madame Gartner) invite you on a shared journey of personal discovery and creative expression, whatever age or stage of life. Let’s sing and make our world a better place!
