Discover your true voice
Welcome. I’m Julia, a voice teacher and professional singer based in Berlin, originally from Canada. I work with students who are musically curious, motivated, and ready to develop their voice in a focused and supportive environment.
Whether you're at the beginning of your vocal journey or returning to singing with renewed intention, our lessons provide a time for deep and structured learning rooted in healthy technique and mindful practice.
Our focus in lessons
Voice and piano lessons for passionate musicians
A dedicated time to explore your voice — with depth, attention, and artistic care.
I take on adult students returning to their voice or beginning anew, dedicated young singers building from the ground up, and curious learners of any age who are ready to go deeper.

My teaching is grounded in bel canto — the classical foundation that supports freedom, beauty, and longevity in any style. We work with breath, body alignment, and the cultivation of artistic presence; the aim is technique that holds, and a voice that can carry what you actually want to say.
My approach is shaped by professional training at U.S. conservatories, a performing career across Europe, and ongoing study in mindfulness and embodied practice. Lessons are paced with care, adapted to the student in front of me, and held in a space that values both rigor and ease.
In-person lessons take place at my studio in Berlin Wedding. Online lessons are also available across Europe and North America via Forte, a platform built for music education — online students receive recorded warm-ups, a guided pre-singing meditation, and a shared practice document tailored to their level and goals.
For singers seeking serious, holistic voice training rooted in artistry and care: this is a space where your voice is taken seriously and supported fully.
What my students say
“Julia is the most supportive music teacher I have ever had. I came to her with extreme vocal fatigue and was unable to sing properly, and was so scared about whether or not I had 'lost' the best years of my voice due to overuse and strain. Within the few months I have been in session with her, Julia has not only got me singing better than ever before but even helped me to unlock parts of my register I didn't know were there! I love our lessons so much - Julia is kind, supportive and one of the best listeners ever. Book her for a lesson!”
“Julia has been an irreplaceable part of my son’s musical development for the last three years; not only as an operatic vocalist, but also as a performer in general. Julia continues to guide him to ever higher levels of craft while counseling him through the changes that come with becoming a teenager. She has deftly shifted between coach, cheerleader, sage, and friend. She is the rare combination of superlative performer and teacher of equal merit.”

“Julia is an excellent teacher! She explains everything with great detail and adapts every lesson to fit your needs. I’ve had so much fun, and I’ve made great progress on my technique with the help of Julia! She also taught me how to take care of my voice in other ways and helped me improve my performance. Her positive energy and kindness really helped me build my confidence. I highly recommend her!”
“Julia is a great singing teacher! She is super supportive and always finds ways to help when certain aspects of what we are doing are challenging. I enjoy learning from her very much.”
“I have had Julia now for 3 years as my teacher, once a week and she is an absolutely precious teacher. Since I'm with her my voice has become much clearer and improved enormously. She even helped me go through my voice changing challenge, as I'm 14 years old. I can still sing high notes, thanks to her incredible help and professional lessons, She helped me get only better and even combined music (my guitar) with my voice. I enjoy and love every single class with her. I thank her so much for everything she has done for me.”
