Last Saturday was the summer concert with all the singers I’m working with: From people who have never been on stage to people who brought their originals and sing in bands.

Before the concert, I always get nervous, thinking – is it worth the stress of organizing? Will they like it? Will they enjoy it? Do they feel like I’m forcing them? Will there be people to listen?

And damn, it just turned out magical. From being nervous to taking up space, leaving their comfort zones, showing their full and beautiful voices, making mistakes (and even screaming about it in a song – it’s okay to make mistakes!), and moving an audience that was so quiet, attentive and supportive.

I made many mistakes this evening (while playing these songs, but who cares 😊). Doing this concert was not one of them.

I was so close to tears the whole time.

THANK YOU. 🧡

I shared a little bit about how my musical journey began. Now I’m curious about yours… What made you want to sing? Let me know in the comments and say hello! 🧡

🎶 Riffs and runs can feel impossible sometime, right?

They move so fast that your brain and voice barely have time to catch up. But there are ways to make them easier.

Here is one of my ways. 😊

When you slow them down, break them into tiny pieces, and practise with numbers or syllables, your voice starts to understand the pattern.

It’s not about being born with agility, it’s about training your coordination and giving your voice time to learn. 🧡

Has someone told you – you will always sound the same and you can only sing this one style?

Because they did tell me: You will always sound like a flute. You will always sound too classical.

And I believed it. But I still didn’t want to sing ONLY classical music.

When I studied classical music I took jazz lessons secretly, just because I was curious. But I really took care that no one would find out because I was afraid, that my teacher would say I was ruining my voice. (But that’s a different story..)

Fun fact a few years forward: Now I feel much more comfortable in popular music.

But I do need both and they feel so differently in the body. So why would I want to limit myself?

Has someone put you in a box too? Tell me in the comments.

Ohhh, What a special moment! ✨

Do you also like singing in harmony, and somehow you feel energized afterwards?

And you know what? It really is good for your body. Science agrees.

1️⃣ It releases oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine – the hormones that are connected with the feeling of connection and joy. (✏️ Thaut M., The Conversation, 2025)

2️⃣ It boosts your immune system through increased immunoglobulin A (✏️ Grape et al., ScienceDirect, 2017)

3️⃣ And it even reduces stress hormones! (✏️ Keeler et al., Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015)

So, if you have the feeling that singing together is good and healthy for you, it can actually have a positive effect on your body, just by singing together.

Isn’t that great? 🧡

What if we wouldn’t think as much in bad-better-good-perfect when it comes to singing – and more about what it actually means to us?

I grew up in quite „traditional“ music education where there was a lot of talk about „are you a good or bad musician“. I didn’t really get the idea that other things were relevant.

But when I started teaching, everything shifted. I got such a different perspective – that the motivation for people is barely „to get better“.

There are so many different reasons, wishes, goals – and the WHY can be so different and so important.

And by the way – I now think „good“ and „bad“ are very vague expressions anyway. The perception and taste of music are so subjective. What sounds good to one person sounds completely different to another.

The „Why do I sing“ can help us in the frustration moments, when we think we are stuck and need some extra motivation. 🧡

What is YOUR why? Tell me in the comments.

🎤Arghhhh, this is tough!

“Listen” is not the easiest for me, it’s somehow not totally comfortable in my voice – at the same time I love singing it!

So, here I want to tackle “Listen” from Beyoncé, especially the chorus. When I sang it I had this feeling of “there is too much of everything” – too much power, too much breath, too much effort in the vocal folds.

Soooo I went through the process to sort all of that out and I just took you with me - Including all (maybe not even all of them 😄) the frustrations.

In the process I used:

1️⃣ my cricoid cartilage tilt, that will support my vocal folds and bring more mass without me having to give more effort in my vocal folds
2️⃣ bringing more “twang” in by engaging my aryepiglottic sphincter, replacing the lyrics with a sound like “baeh” or “maeh” to bring more ease and power to my voice
3️⃣ Body “anchors” to support my body so my voice doesn’t have to work so hard (one in the head & neck area, the other for the torso)

Of course, I cut out a lot of the process and there were other things that were coming along while I was practicing.

At the end I felt really more at ease and didn’t have to work so hard anymore.

Do you know this feeling that some songs are just not as comfortable even though the same pitches are easy on others?

A day in the studio 🧡

Goals, needs, wishes, approaches – they can be so different. And it always keeps me curious what’s coming next.

P.S. Curious about your own voice? Write me a message.
