Feldenkrais & Singing
I’m is a mezzo soprano singer, a chamber musician, a Feldenkrais practitioner and a singing teacher in The Netherlands / The Hague.
​
Midden treasures are a red thread through my life. Discovering the Feldenkrais method was the biggest treasure that I’m incredible thankful for. That happened 2011 in Berlin. During a five weeks lasting singing/dancing stage production I fell in love with Feldenkrais lessons which supported me enormously in my singing performance on stage. I discovered the possible influence of these lesson’s to resiliance in my personal and professional life. Standing on two feet with less protection, less shields around myself to be in this world.
​
Being a professional singer with Cappella Amsterdam for more than 22 years and teaching Feldenkrais since 2015 are the two passions in my life. Combining the miracles of the Feldenkrais method with the teaching of singing has become her expertise. I taught more than ten workshops for voice and Feldenkrais in Berlin and in The Hague together with her friend and Feldenkrais collegue Klaus Kunckel from Berlin. Every workshop a new experiment with specific repertoire or improvisations (Folk, Medieval, Renaissance, solo classical singing and ensemble classical singing) combined with movement explorations in the Feldenkais method.
​
I also love teaching Feldenkrais to people with special questions and needs. At this moment I study to become a JKA (Jeremy Krauss Approach) practioner for special needs children.
​
This teaching happens induvidually in Functiunal Intergration (FI) lessons and groeps lessons Awareness through movement lesson’s (ATM).
​
The most “elusive obvious” and life changing discovery within the Feldenkrais method is the ever growing skeletal awareness though practising and teaching voice and Feldenkrais!

Singing & Feldenkrais
As a young singer somehow I realised that in singing I had to team up with my body. Where that came from I have no idea perhaps the fact that I love sports all my life.
​
My overall idea was to try to improve the functioning of all the parts (breathing, vocal folds, resonators) to make the whole singing process more efficient so it could serve the expression better and better.
​
This concept evoked my interest in anatomy and physiology. I have always loved to take things apart to see how they look and then put them together again (not always). In this way also as a singing teacher I could distinguish myself from most of my colleagues, who didn’t share my interests at all.
​
Now, in my sixties, I understand that studying these subjects was my way to try to be in control.
​
In March 2017 I received my license from the Association for Body Mapping Education. Through this certificate I’m licensed to teach the course: “What every musician needs to know about the body”. The material is based on the method of F.M. Alexander, but laid out to teach in groups.
