Luiza’s teaching approach
“I profoundly believe in a positive approach. My philosophy is that the voice naturally responds to the circumstances around us and within us. Therefore, I always make sure that the student feels comfortable, open, trusting, and most important of all, inspired to make music.
I’m interested in the uniqueness of each student, thus all tools I offer are used to find the student’s own voice and musical vision so that they can express their musicality and artistry through their voice.”
Location: Durgerdam Church
Durgerdammerdijk 76, 1026 CG
Amsterdam – Netherlands
Price: 400 euros – Includes all coaching sessions, ensemble work, and light refreshments (water, tea, coffee, and snacks).
Accommodation and meals are not included.
Coming Soon: In-Residence Singing Retreats
Luiza’s next step is to create immersive, in-residence workshops where participants share a beautiful villa near the beach and enjoy a full week of music-making, connection, and creative discovery.

- Individual singing lessons
