Martina Di R.

About Martina
Music has always been my passion and it began first through dance. In my teenage years I discovered how much I liked singing thanks to the music and singers I was listening to, so I started taking lessons and I started participating in some contests. After high school I started a bachelor in vocal jazz and I graduated with highest grade.

During my first years as a singer I intensified my live performances, singing in several ensembles from duos to quartets and choirs. I also started writing my first compositions and singing them live and I started teaching through schools and privately. I am currently finishing a master in vocal jazz and I released my first record called Invisible Pathways with my own original music.

About the lessons
My lessons are divided into three essential parts and each of them is important. First we set the mood through breathing and some exercises to relax the body from any unnecessary tension. Then we practice and warm up the voice with specific exercises that aim also to strengthen the ear (a.k.a. ear training), and at last the performance meaning we practice a song that I either suggested or the student chose. A healthy and happy voice lives in a happy body, that is why for me these three steps are essentials.

I believe we can do what we want with our voice as long as we know what we are doing. Each lessons is specifically designed for each person, we are all different and so are our voices, this means that exercises can vary depending on the needs and specifics of one person.
