Heh, when I read your name I thought you were Dutch by birth, ms. Slotte. Your entire name could be natively Dutch with ease. Perhaps you are descended from Dutch migrants to Finland?
@Querzeo Thanks for your comment. You made a good point: we should never trust any teacher (no matter how skilled) or technique before trying it out ourselves and see if it works for us. If it helps us, solves problems, makes singing easier and keeps the voice healthy, we can keep it. If not, we can move on and find something else that works. Every singer knows what feels best for them, so trust yourself and keep searching for techniques that work for you! Good luck and all the best, Katja
Hi. do you possibly know if the school of music is still available in Finland? They have some sort of adult department, where I understood that you can train also for the opera class. Sort of preparatory class for sibelius?
@Serinia4melodic Hi! I'm not sure I understand exactly which school you mean. There are many music institutes in Finland that offer the level of training that is expected before applying for the Sibelius-Academy. Try search under 'musiikkiopisto' (Finnish word for music institute). Or check the SibA website for information about preparatory courses: laulu.siba.fi/en/home/ Good luck! All the best, Katja
@katjamariamusic can I get the preparatory courses outside Finland? Or the degree isn`t available in Finland? Are the preparatory courses and Sibelius mainly free to attend? I read that on their web site, but I`m not sure. Thank you.
I'm a singer too, with a band and with a choir, both sure just for fun, but enjoying it very much. Still need to work on my technique a lot tho ;-)
Me, I have one question for you regarding the song, which is being sang in the very end of this video. It sounds so wonderful, but I can't remember it at all, what's the song title (original singer / band) of it please?
@Gipsydoo Hi Gispydoo, thanks for you message. The song is written by the singer who also performs it at the end of the video. Her name is Gianna Tam, she is a very talented singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist from The Netherlands/Suriname. You can find more information about Gianna and her music on the internet. I'll make sure to inform her you liked her song! :-) Good luck with your singing! All the best and kind regards, Katja
