For three years now I’ve been taking regular lessons with Christiane Oelze. And I never get tired of them! Quite the opposite – I come away from each session inspired by an ever-growing fund of ideas for developing a solid technique, creative musicality and polished performance skills. What’s more, during a session with her my voice invariably discovers new ways to free up and enjoy greater flexibility. It’s hugely satisfying and exhilarating. With patience but a demanding approach, she knows exactly what I need to learn in order to progress and works through a carefully conceived plan for my development with great empathy and kindness. I am very grateful to have a teacher such as her to guide me.

Receiving voice training from Christiana Oelze was the best thing that could have happened to me. Through the exercises she recommends my voice has gained in flexibility, range and clarity in the shortest possible time. Hoarseness and strain are things of the past. Her immense knowledge of repertoire presents a continuous challenge that spurs me on. It’s great to know that with her support so many avenues lie open to me as a classical soprano. Her professional manner and warmth make my lessons with her a great pleasure.

Christiane Oelze changed my way of singing in a special way no one else did before. With all her wisdom as a singer with a big carreer and as a human being, she is such an inspiration to work with. Her singing lessons are life lessons.

I’m very grateful that Christiane Oelze teaches not only professionals but also amateur singers like me. It’s been a fascinating journey since I took my first lesson with her. On the way, with much joy, patience and empathy, she has led me to discover my singing self. I’m so grateful to have had the chance to benefit from her unbelievable wealth of experience and her musicality, competence and commitment to music, and I look forward to each new stage of our journey.
