I believe that voice teaching is a way of meeting, of exchanging and of mutual learning. In my view there are no good or bad singers! Vocal virtuosity is not the ultimate aim of the work. It is important not only to develop the voice, but also to develop oneself through the voice. In order to evolve vocally and artistically I believe it is necessary to make friend with one's weaknesses and to integrate the physical and mental disciplines which give freedom to the imagination and to creative expression.

Roy Hart Voice Teacher since 1982
Since I first met the Roy Hart Theatre in 1978, voice has become my life-companion, the measure of both my personal and artistic work, and my inspiration. Over time and meetings (with dance, movement, traditional singing, clowning, painting, writing, fasciatherapy), I have built my own way of using the voice in work, play and creative production, relying on the invaluable inheritance of the research of Alfred Wolfsohn and Roy Hart and all those who came after them. From the singing voice to the spoken voice, I'm connected with many artistic disciplines and socio-cultural backgrounds. I connect my teaching to the enlightening person-centred listening of Carl Rogers, and the opening of creative spaces of Authentic Movement.

Singer, musician, teacher
Lives in Bayonne, France
I live in the Basque Country, in the city-port of Bayonne on the Atlantic… but I am also a son of the inland hills and mountains where I was born and raised. My approach to singing: in singing classes and workshops, I like to share and live the experience of free and ‘rooted’ singing. My ways of working: rooting the song in the wide breath, and rooting the song in a living tradition, in a life journey where each interpretation or invention, is a new creation, a new birth. I like to ground singing in the dynamic experience of improvisation, in the rich connections with the cultures that shape us, and that we never stop discovering throughout our lives. I like to gradually open up a path so I can and we can drink from the wellspring of our own very personal and free singing.
