I have over ten years of experience teaching voice to singers of all ages and abilities. I began my teaching career at the Dublin School of Music, where I taught between 2016 and 2018, and have since maintained a private studio of amateur and professional singers, both adults and children.

I hold a Bachelor of Music from the Conservatoire of Music and Drama at Dublin Institute of Technology and a Master of Music from the Royal Academy of Music in London. Over the past twenty years, I have continued to develop my own understanding of the voice through working with teachers including Sinéad Campbell, Kate Paterson, Raymond Connell, James Schmidt (Haus of Shmizzay) and Antoni Staneic.

My approach to teaching draws primarily on the bel canto tradition, alongside an interest in reconnecting with the voice's more instinctive, primal qualities. I enjoy introducing singers to new repertoire and musical styles that might inspire them, and believe that listening to and learning from other voices is just as important as developing your own.

My students have included singers working towards ABRSM examinations at all grades, university students and working professionals. Alongside my teaching, I continue to work as a professional opera singer, bringing my own experience of the profession and performance world into my lessons.

I offer singing lessons online and in person in Berlin. If you are interested in starting lessons, you are very welcome to get in touch via the contact page or book an initial lesson directly here - https://calendly.com/kathleennicdhiarmada/singing-lesson
