Celebrating my student Julia

Here’s a beautiful testimonial from my first student in Zürich. Thank you, Julia!

“Petra is a wonderful teacher and an amazing human. I reached out to her in a desperate dash to improve my performance one week before an important event and she helped me find the confidence on stage in just two short sessions we managed to find time for.

We worked on my singing technique, of course, searching for the best exercises that fit my needs and specific issues. But most importantly, she helped me prepare for the particular event, asking questions to guide me to my goals and desires. She helped me find the tools that I needed to make my performance, first and foremost, successful in my own eyes. For someone who has struggled with self-esteem and finding my self-worth, this has been an incredible experience. In the end, when you have fun performing on stage everyone enjoys watching you.

Petra is extremely supportive of her students which means a lot when you're trying to do something out of your comfort zone. She doesn't just give you a singing class, she is there to support you along the way and checks upon you as you get ready to perform and bask in the glory of your success.

Learning with Petra has helped me become a better singer, a better performer and a much more confident person in general. She is a kind and patient teacher and incredibly knowledgeable in what she teaches.

I've been singing in a choir for years prior to trying to do other styles and it's been a crazy journey to discover the different possibilities and I'm so grateful that Petra is my guide on it. I've been taking private lessons with Petra for half a year to work on my voice for my rock band and I've already gotten so much more out of my voice than I ever thought is possible. Petra blows my mind with the knowledge she shares almost every time and she supports my learning in the kindest and most compassionate way possible. It's not always easy, but always fun and rewarding. I didn't think I could sound as powerful and interesting and just accepted that as fact, and Petra showed me otherwise.

I also took her online singing masterclass and that has also been a week of mind blowing discoveries. Despite already taking singing lessons and having a decent-ish amount of experience, I learned so much and could progress in my skills even further. Petra adjusts her teaching to whatever level/skills/experience you have and there's always something new to know and something you can work on with her help.”
