    Claudia Rolando Singing Lessons

    I am an opera singer (played several opera roles in renewed opera houses in Argentina, Spain, England, Germany and the Netherland).

    Thanks to my vocal technique I could always sang simultaneously opera as well as popular music (Jazz, Bossa Nova, Musicals and Tango)

    I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I have a Degree in Music Arts with specialization in Opera Singing from the University Institute of Arts and a Degree in Classic Singing from the National Conservatory of Music. In 2008 I earned a Master in Arts and Scene Management from the University of the Basque Country, and in 2010 a Master in Spanish and Latin American Music, from the University of Valladolid, Spain.

    Nowadays I am writing my PhD Thesis on the Singing Learning Processes, at the Music Department at the University of Valladolid, with a scholarship from Basque Country Ministry of Education and as a Visiting Scholar at the University of Amsterdam.

    PhD Candidate of Musicology (UVa)

    Master In Musicology (UVa)

    Master In Performative Arts Management (UPV)

    Degree in Music-Classic Singing (Conservatorio Superior "López Buchardo")

    Method

    and Resources

    My method is based on 27 years of singing teaching experience and the research for the PhD thesis about singing learning processes.

    I have a scientific approach based on the last vocal and musicological researches.

    Our students are encouraged to develop and master their voice through their own unique personal journey enjoying singing and music. Furthermore, the study of musical elements and related science knowledge are both used as tools of primary importance throughout the learning experience.

    "She makes abstract things be so comprehensible"

    "I attended to Claudia´s singing lessons for about two years and it was like "that day of the week you are longing for". She makes abstract things be so comprehensible. She helps you to understand your body sensations and she follows that particular process with an astounding accuracy. And the result of that is a great progress in your singing skills. Other than that, she is such a positive being she encourages you all the time and such a lovely person to have around"

    "the keys to understand the singing process"

    "I started the courses with Claudia Rolando without knowing anything about singing. I can say she gave me, and still does, the keys to understand the singing process and develop the control of my body to sing as I wish. She is a wonderful teacher. She uses her knowledge of sound, music, rhythm, anatomy and a full attention to teach in a really efficient way. I am really happy and proud to be her student."
    Colline Lb

    "discovering something about yourself"

    "Everyone can learn how to sing" this is Claudia's approach and she will teach you how to listen to your body and understand it better in order to let it sing. And that will be a magical moment, like discovering something about yourself you didn't know. Whether you have professional aspirations or you are just looking for a different way to explore your capabilities, I highly recommend Claudia's singing lessons."
    Cecilia Scolaro

    "Complex concepts into easy ideas"

      "Great singing teacher. I learned a lot of things about singing technique with her. She turns abstract and complex concepts into easy and intuitive ideas, making the lessons so amused and enjoyable. Really recommended" 
    Inigo de Peque

    "discover unknown skills"

     "Claudia is not only an amazing singer, but also an excellent teacher. She helped me discover unknown skills and improve the ones I had. She also taught me that how to understand my instrument better. Highly recommendable" 
    Aida Pinillos

    Florencia Zas Candia

    "Claudia helps you unlearn/learn/relearn"

    "Claudia makes singing easy, quite literally. Claudia helps you unlearn/learn/relearn what your voice can do quite naturally. She's full of energy, enthusiastic and is a well-rounded musician"
    Duane Mattos

    "different from old school voice teaching"

    "Claudia is an excellent teacher!
    While I have a lot of problems in singing, she can always accurately discover the problem and the reason behind, and suggest good way to resolve the problem. The way she helps you discover your voice is different from old school voice teaching, which is good since it ensures your voice journey is really tailor-made and suits yourself. She really knows how to improve one's voice!"
    David Li

    "She is really geeky and passionate"

    " I had a couple of singing teachers in the past. But Claudia is the teacher most analytic that i had. She is really geeky and passionate about music and the body. She help me to be more conscious about the use of my body and to understand singing from a different place."
    Francisco Fernández Novella

    "the right amount of support and challenge"

    "I'm taking lessons from Claudia for about a year now and really enjoy every lesson I'm having. Claudia is such a kind, heart-warming person and creates a very personal experience. She always gives you the right amount of support and challenge, that you'll need to improve yourself with your voice. If anyone is thinking about getting singing lessons, I can only recommend her"
    Julian Jmlo

    "Her approach to singing is very thorough, even scientific"

    "Claudia is an excellent singing teacher. I can clearly see a huge improvement in my singing techniques. Her approach to singing is very thorough, even scientific. In the beginning she explained the theory behind singing, i.e. which parts of your body help you sing, how to control them properly, etc. This understanding has helped me a lot to progress faster. Claudia is always really helpful, she gives feedback and makes comments, but at the same time gives you space to make mistakes and explore your voice. Overall, I'm absolutely satisfied with the lessons and can definitely recommend them to anyone interested in singing!"
    Алиса Кириченко

    "It was a revelation for me. She's an expert in voice"

    "My daughter (7) and I both have lessons with Claudia. My daughter told me ' I love my singing class... I love learning how to write the notes and learning how the body works when you sing'. The kids group class is lovely, Claudia keeps them interested and having fun all the time. They learn so much more this way. They work on songs they like, singing together and alone, and even performing twice per year :) For myself, I've had problems with my voice for a long time and Claudia was the first teacher who could tell me what was physically going on. It was a revelation for me. She's an expert in voice, and on top of that she is so positive and energetic, it's quite contagious :)"
    Jessica Morrison

    "She is very positive and enthusiastic"

    "I'm taking lessons with Claudia for about 8 months now and I can clearly see how much I've grown since then. She is very positive and enthusiastic, what makes the lessons very enjoyable. With her I learned that throat singing can be very harmful (I was doing this a looot before her lessons). She constantly remembers me not to control the air with the throat, how to balance the air and to work with vowels, etc. All those kind of things that I didn't pay attention to in the past, now I see how important they are. I still got a long way to go but I'm sure I will make it because I have Claudia, the best teacher in the world!"
    Maira Machado

    "She is fantastic at listening to your voice"

    "Claudia is such a wonderful singing teacher; through her deep understanding of the voice I feel that I am learning a truly healthy way of singing. She is fantastic at listening to your voice and understanding how the sound is created, to make sure you are singing in the correct way and to the best of your ability. I thoroughly enjoy her singing lessons, and look forward to them every week. She is an excellent teacher and creates an environment that makes you feel confident and comfortable to explore you voice. As I am interested in classical singing, Claudia´s knowledge of classical pieces has led me to sing beautiful pieces of music that I love and that suit my voice. I would encourage any singer to have lessons with Claudia, and I feel very fortunate and grateful to have her as my teacher"
    Rachel Butterworth

    "she guides you in the right direction"

    "I've been attending singing lessons with Claudia for a few months, and I couldn't be happier! She is a superb teacher, makes you realize the impossible is possible, she guides you in the right direction to know your body and how things work on a physical and psychological level for singing. Always happy, always cheerful, always adapting to the style and type of music you like to sing and helping you improve day by day. A truly wonderful experience for someone who wants to learn how to sing!"
