Intro

Hi, I'm Saphie Wells.

I recently moved to Amsterdam, Ik ga naar Nederlandse lees 2 keer per week. Nu, mijn niveau is niet goed genoeg om les te geven maar ik begrijp en spreek een beetje :)

Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a family of musicians in Lima, Peru, I was surrounded by songs and rhythms that inspired me to start performing at age 15.

Moving to Barcelona in 2007 opened up a world of possibilities. Studying at Taller de Músics, I fell in love with jazz, modern music, and the art of using my voice to tell stories. Along the way, I've been inspired by incredible artists like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Amy Winehouse, and many more, as well as amazing mentors who taught me the importance of finding your unique sound.

In my classes, I want to share that same love for music. Singing isn't just about technique—it's about expressing yourself and feeling free. My lessons are all about helping you grow, gain confidence, and have fun while discovering the joy of music. Let's make your voice shine!

The classes are intended for students aged 12 and above.

Vocal Class Methodology

My approach to vocal lessons is centered on developing and enhancing the voice both technically and expressively, while enjoying the learning process.

Body Awareness:
We begin by working on posture, breathing, and relaxation to prepare the body as a vocal instrument. A strong foundation ensures natural and fluid singing.
Vocal Warm-Up:
We perform specific exercises to activate the voice, including scales, arpeggios, and resonance techniques. These exercises help improve vocal range, pitch accuracy, and projection.
Repertoire Work:
We select a song you enjoy (or choose one together) and explore it in depth. We apply vocal techniques directly to the interpretation, focusing on emotional expression, diction, and style.
Personalized Development:
Each lesson is tailored to your needs and goals. Progress is measured through songs that reflect your musical interests, ensuring a unique and motivating experience.

My goal is to create a safe and creative space where you can develop your voice, build confidence, and enjoy the art of singing.

Saphie is a kind and professional vocal coach who made me feel at ease right away. She listens to your needs and tailors the lessons accordingly. She pays attention to preparation and the technical aspects of singing, but also to the joy and enjoyment of it. I'm super happy with the singing lessons I’ve had with her and have learned a lot in a short time—about my voice and all the things I can do with it!

Susy

All of my family just loved to sing not knowing how or why until I met Saphie who kindly and strategically introduced the professional technique which emerged with the ‘endurance and lasting power‘ of the diaphragm and then proceeded with the ability of ‘modulation‘ of the larinx, all stuff I'd no idea of! Having initiated the whole process exercising to prepare and relax not only the shoulders neck and throat but also the face muscles! That hugely improved my singing and also my capability of a variety of voices for commercials.
