About Me

Hi, my name is Ludi and I am a Vocalist froom Siberia, Russia. I have been a student of music all my life. My musical influences include Anna Netrebko and I've studied with Stella Zambalis. My teaching style can best be described as flexible. My teaching philosophy is "practice makes progression". In my lessons, you can expect to learn more about vocal technique. I like to tell my students "if your technique is flawless, you can sing anything!". My favorite thing about teaching is watching my students blossom. I primarily teach vocal classical technique, but I can also teach musical theatre. I believe that vocal technique is extremely personal. What works for me, may not work for you, but we will work hard to find your true voice! I have studied around the world as an opera singer and have studied all different types of vocal technique. As stated before, I focus primarily on technique. I only introduce repertoire once I feel we have gotten enough coaching and your core techniques realized. First few lessons will be centered around you and your lifestyle, health, and vocal knowledge and experience. I work extremely hard to provide all that I possibly can for my students. This is not just vocal lessons. It's a journey. Thanks for taking a look at my profile. Hope to meet you soon! Have an incredible day.

What to expect in my Vocal Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

I make a point to focus on vocal technique. Students should expect to work on a basic warm up before the lesson. Once the lesson begins we go through a more advanced warm up and work on in depth technical skills. For the final 15-30 minutes we will apply those techniques to vocal rep. that we will select together. I expect my students to vocalize every day for at least an hour. In addition to vocal technique work, we will discuss basic health topics that every singer should know. My teaching style is very flexible and fluid. I focus on each student individually and in detail. singing, vocalizing, and expressing emotions through music are all very personal and different for each individual.
