Teaching
Where did I learn?
Since the beginning of my professional career, I enjoyed teaching as well -
I have been blessed by two extraordinary gifted teachers Prof. Margit Klaushofer at MDW and Eliska Pappová at OSU. Both provided a different view and helped me to develop my singing technique.
High notes
II firmly believe that many singers who struggle with stabilizing their high notes are often approaching the issue from the wrong angle. With a personal range extending from F to A♭₃, I don’t subscribe to the concept of “short” voices. I’m proud to say that I’ve been consistently successful in helping both my students and professional colleagues find greater stability and freedom in their voices—not only, but especially in the upper register.
Experience
I hold a Mag.art degree in Singing and am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Vocal Performance. My research focuses on Aloysia Lange and the concert arias Mozart composed for her.
Since beginning my professional singing career in 2008, I have also been dedicated to teaching. I’ve had the privilege of giving several masterclasses at my alma mater in Ostrava, with a particular focus on Mozart and bel canto technique.
One student from a recent workshop said:
“You don’t allow the slightest technical mistake, and still it’s fun to work with you.”
I feel this perfectly captures my approach to teaching—precise, focused, yet always encouraging and engaging.
