Curriculum
My teaching approach centers on the character, existing knowledge, and the goals of the student. My priority is to support the uniqueness of each student. In my lessons, the rules of music work together with the individual elements of the student, so that they are an evolutionary incentive and not a limiting device. My goal is to promote the student's critical thinking so that he learns to function autonomously, having received a holistic knowledge of the body's function and psychology as vocal tools, treating the voice as a musical instrument.
Why would anyone prefer me: In my classes, I teach modern singing, the basics of vocal education, a deeper knowledge of the body function in relation to vocalisation (anatomy and understanding of vocal function in the body), and also voice awareness through the ear practicing and mind concentration. The vocal protection techniques are major to avoid damage to the vocal system, as well as the research on the human body resonances, which change the vocal quality, are important elements of the course. I also provide advice on nutrition, exercise, health and lifestyle concerning vocal function. Finally, I emphasize, if this is desired by the student, in the combination of dance and theater techniques with the voice. My teaching approach focuses on the nature, the already existing knowledge, and the goals of the learner. My priority is to support the uniqueness of each student. The rules of music cooperate with the individual elements of the student so that they become an evolutionary motivation and not a limiting means. My goal is to promote the student's critical thinking so that he/she learns to function independently, having received a holistic knowledge of the body's functionality and its psychology, seeing himself/herself as a vocal instrument, and treating the voice as a musical instrument.
Why I have chosen teaching (motivation, goals): I understand the educational process as a result of cooperation. Therefore, with the help of dialogue and meaningful communication, I aim to create a free field of expression for a student's needs.
Additional: I can also provide the student with personal notes, or support his/her individual research (e.g. Dissertation, thesis, etc.).
Teaching online experience: I really love teaching online as this helps me communicate my art with people from all around the world. I am fully equipped with all the appropriate electronic fittings to make my lessons have the sense of a face-to-face teaching experience. That means I use two cameras to make obvious two different points of view and show the appropriate body posture for singing in the best way, I also use mirrors, books, and whiteboards to write down things about music theory, and of course my piano, microphones and amplifiers. I like to make sure that the students feel I am there, close to them, and feel as much content as they would be by doing a lesson at their home!

Jag har letat i flera år efter en bra sånglärare, och ingen av de lärare jag haft har kunnat undervisa mig på ett så enkelt och pedagogiskt sätt som Catherine.
Hon är väldigt tålmodig, otroligt trevlig och mycket organiserad. Mina sångfärdigheter har förändrats drastiskt sedan jag började ta lektioner med henne – som natt och dag!
Jag dokumenterar hela min utveckling på min YouTube-kanal och kan tydligt märka skillnaden.
Lektionerna är avslappnade, med mycket tydliga instruktioner och konkreta mål. Catherine motiverar dig hela tiden under varje lektion, ger användbar feedback, rättar till dina misstag och delar fantastiska tips.
Jag hoppas kunna fortsätta ta lektioner med henne under lång tid framöver.The thing I like most about Catherine is her openness and willingness to design the course in a way that’s most comfortable for her student. She truly adapts the course in a remarkable way based on her student’s needs and abilities. She is also very approachable, down-to-earth, and patient, managing to provide feedback in an honest yet polite and constructive manner. Her background and studies are impressive, and it’s clear that she is deeply knowledgeable. All in all, she is an excellent teacher—highly recommended!
Great teacher! Great voice!She is a fresh and talented person with special skills in music!
Cathrine är en utmärkt lärare! Hon älskar sitt ämne och är väldigt smittsam när hon undervisar. Jag rekommenderar henne varmt!
