About

The Belgian vocalist Eva Buchmann was born in Holland and lives in Cologne Germany since 2011. She studied Jazz / Pop vocals at the Royal Flemish Conservatoire in Antwerp. After completing an Erasmus-exchange year at the Jazz-Institute-Berlin, she obtained her Master Degree in 2008.

Eva won first prizes at the international competition for singing musicians “Voicingers 2010” in Poland and the “Crest Jazz Vocal Concours 2011” in France. She sings on several CD productions e.g. Sony Music Belgium, Laika Records and GLM München.

Teaching

If you’re interested in improving your singing, I am more than happy to help. I teach singing at home in Cologne, online and at the Folkwang University of Arts in Essen, Germany.

In these lessons, we’ll find out what you need and how to get there. We’ll dig into all kinds of technical aspects: sound colours, rhythm, improvisation, interpretation. Some specific topics are: breathing in an efficient way, how to widen your vocal range, getting rid of hoarseness or unwanted vocal breaks, how to improve your improvisation skills, explore resonance, getting deeper into the meaning of a song, preparing for concerts or auditions, finding your own repertoire, etc. I might not be able to give you all the answers, but I’ll help you asking some essential questions.

In order to become more independent, we’ll work on gaining trust in your own ears, the process of learning itself and finding the joy about it.
