Appoggio Online Course
NEW
The Concept
Do you find yourself missing a clear structure and precise instructions regarding the purpose and rationale behind specific exercises in your singing and speech lessons? If so, this online format offers the perfect solution for you.
Right from the chapter overview, you can clearly see how the content builds upon itself and identify the vocal ideals you are aiming to achieve. You can explore and internalize these concepts at your own pace.
The videos and audio tracks allow you to experiment freely — without the immediate need for a teacher's feedback — and to discover a playful, self-guided approach to your practice. I will guide you step-by-step through the fundamental principles of the *Appoggio* method (learn more about this on the "The Method" page). Through reflective prompts accompanying each topic, you can effectively integrate what you have learned. You can also clarify questions and exchange experiences with others via the comments section or during our bi-weekly live sessions.
This course is the result of a unique blend of ingredients: a deep fascination with the human body as a marvel of nature and with the magic of the human voice; decades of experience as both a singer and a teacher; and — last but not least — my particular gift for translating vocal processes (which are naturally neither tangible nor visible) into vivid imagery and practical exercises.
With this course, I offer you the opportunity to establish a healthy foundation for your vocal practice —whether for speaking or singing, and regardless of whether you are a professional or a non-professional —and to help your voice rediscover its naturally effortless, unique sound and expressive power.
The course is currently available only in German.

The Content of the Course
Who is this course for?
This introductory course (covering the fundamentals and core principles of the Appoggio method) is designed for anyone wishing to use their voice naturally and develop it effortlessly. It will be of particular benefit to:
+ those who need to speak frequently (and loudly) — such as teachers and actors
+ amateur singers, whether in a choir or just in the shower
+ voice students seeking concrete, practical guidance
+ professional singers
+ those suffering from vocal strain or injury
What can you expect?
+ In addition to a variety of exercises for the body, breath, and voice, you will gain relevant knowledge regarding the anatomy, physiology, and reflexive processes involved in breathing and vocalization.
+ A clear structure featuring sequential elements for the body, breath, and voice makes the material easier to understand and apply.
+ Through videos and audio recordings, we will dive into the first fundamental principles of the Appoggio Method using practical exercises.
+ Ample space for reflection and for integrating what you have learned.
+ You will have the opportunity to attend bi-weekly live sessions via Zoom and to communicate with me throughout the course by posting comments and questions. This supports your learning journey and helps you cultivate a more conscious approach to your own learning process.
How do you practice?
You are free to decide how long you wish to practice, when it is time to review or take a break, how quickly you progress, which topics you would like to revisit, and so on. Additionally, every two weeks, you can use the live sessions to clarify questions and exchange experiences with others.
What course materials do you need?
Not much... for the most important tools are your body and your voice. For the exercises, it is also best to have a resistance band, a small ball, and a Pilates ball.
How can you benefit the most?
Through consistency, a relaxed atmosphere, and a playful spirit of exploration.
