Singing teaching- and vocal coaching services
My name is Susanna Korhonen and I work as a singer, musician, producer and a pop & jazz singing pedagogue (University of Applied Sciences/AMK). I love music and I’m passionate about my work.
At my singing lessons, you get to develop your voice with a guidance of a professional – whether you’re a beginner or you work in music industry. I offer pop & jazz singing and voice usage teaching in areas including singing technique, pop & jazz music singing repertory, musical rendition, improvising, and vocal instrument care.
Singing is all-encompassing and highly personal; therefore as a teacher, I aim to create a safe and positive learning environment where making mistakes is welcomed and which encourages one to try one’s best. One of my main targets in teaching is for each of my students to find a connection to their own vocal instrument, body and voice. I also aspire to help my students get free from possible unnecessary tensions towards a freely resounding voice instrument.
In addition, I teach rendition and emotional expression, which I consider to be highly important in singing. We can also work on ways to handle performance anxiety and the basis of performing technique. I also teach songwriting, musical theory, voice- and body care and producing a healthy and efficient speaking voice.
I always plan my lessons to fit your wishes and goals so that you’ll get to develop those skills you need. I think that singing and music belong to everyone. I love music and my job, and I always want to share the joy of music with the students who come to my lessons.
I have a much experience in working as a singing teacher as well as a musician. I worked as a soloist in the band Cubic for over ten years and at the moment I perform as a duo with various music professionals. I’m also a singer-songwriter and currently working on my debut album. I can also provide practical work-centric guidance for developing your own musicianship, if you dream music being your career.
I have also worked as a vocal producer and a vocal coach in recording sessions. Ask me for an offer and I’ll work with you to ensure the best-possible vocal recording session!
Experiences of singing lessons
”I recommend Susanna’s singing lessons to anyone who wants to sing – whatever their goal!”
”Susanna is a wonderfully sunny, patient and very supportive singing teacher! She approaches challenges with a relaxed and interested approach. Susanna is easy to work with and she is flexible in planning lessons. She takes into account the student’s own wishes and style. At the same time, she challenges them to develop in a versatile way towards their own best and the freedom and joy of singing.”
“Susanna is an inspiring and skilful singing teacher, who always aims at the development of her students without forgetting the joy of singing.”
”I went to Susanna’s singing lessons for about two years. During that time I learned a lot of lessons about my singing technique that I didn’t even realise I needed. I was also able to influence the content of the lessons according to my own needs, if I wanted to. It was nice and easy to come to the lessons :).”
”Susanna’s classes are both fun and educational. The tips and lessons have helped us both to develop a more versatile and confident use of the voice. The atmosphere is happy and safe and there is no fear of making mistakes. Even though our vocal areas are different, we are able to work together on exercises and scale the songs to suit both of us. A special mention for good song suggestions and an open mind to our wishes.”
”I started singing lessons when a friend asked me to sing at her wedding. I was inspired to continue after that, and although I no longer have a clear goal, Susanna’s lessons always bring new lessons and the joy of singing.”
”The encouraging and supportive teaching style was good for a beginner.”
”To sum up, I would describe it as relaxed and pro. :)”
”It was nice to come to the singing lessons, the atmosphere was very supportive and as a beginner singer this made it easier to get over the tension. The technique exercises were very helpful in practising my singing.”
”Susanna is an energetic and supportive singing teacher who challenges in the right way and highlights the good aspects of a singer. Working with Susanna went really well! :)”
”I liked the singing lessons a lot and especially the fact that we immediately started singing songs of my choice and practiced technique along the way. I took my first lessons with a friend and it was a really good experience to learn a new hobby in a nice group!”
I hold my lessons by good public transportation in Herttoniemenranta, Helsinki. Lessons are in English or Finnish!
You can also come to singing lessons together with a friend or a family member.
