Singing lessons in Nijmegen
Have you never sung before and would you like to try singing lessons? Or are you more experienced and would you like to develop your skills further? Everyone is welcome, from absolute beginners to those preparing for conservatory. I tailor the lesson programme entirely to the individual. Not only what we work on, but also how we work on it.
Lotte Janssen studied jazz singing at the Royal Conservatories of Brussels and The Hague. Various musical projects – One Bird Orchestra/Lotte Janssen Quartet – took her on tour to Hungary, Iceland, Greece, Belgium and Germany. In 2015, she released her first live EP: Growing Pains. She is currently touring as Alt with jazz project The Royal Sisters and with her latest project Ponta Nento (tour in 2024), in which five female multi-instrumentalists sing and play about letting go of dreams.
Lotte has been working as a singing teacher since 2012. First in Belgium, then in Germany, and now in Malden, in her own teaching practice. She also regularly gives workshops at home and abroad, including for Buitenkunst, Stichting Jazzwerkplaats, and Jeugd en Muziek Brussel.
I have a beautiful large classroom in an old monastery (the old chapel) in the Vrouwenschool in Nijmegen (Dominicanenstraat 6). It is easily accessible by public transport and there is always plenty of parking space.
My preferred lesson length for private lessons is 60 minutes, as this allows for a more in-depth approach. Forty-five minutes is the most common and also a comfortable length. You can choose between weekly, biweekly, a course, or entirely by appointment.
You can come to me with your toddler or preschooler (music on your lap), as a preschooler in the courses, and from the age of 7 (exceptions possible) also for private singing lessons. There are also many group lessons and courses for adults in smaller groups so that there is sufficient attention.
Group lessons and courses are usually held weekly..
My teaching style is collaborative; we work together to find ways to achieve your goals. Sometimes those goals only become clear as we go along.
I regularly organise recital evenings and student concerts to gain stage experience and to have something to work towards. This is never compulsory.
