German and Swedish

The text is at the heart of arias and songs. The text is what convinced the composer to write a piece of vocal music. The text tells the story. - Would you like the audience to understand you even if they don’t have the text in their programme?

Having grown up bilingually, I am fluent in both German and Swedish. I have always had a strong interest in language and its sounds, especially in how the spoken language might need to be modified for singing. I regularly lead projects at Trinity Laban, introducing students to the rich Swedish song repertoire and providing language coaching. This specialisation has also led to collaborations with professional singers seeking to refine their language skills in German and Swedish.

Whether you are a performer or an opera company, I would be happy to help you master the German or Swedish language in singing. Please do not hesitate to get in touch to arrange an initial meeting.
