Welcome to my blog for voice & singing!

The blog posts offer helpful information, analysis and tips about singing, breath control and singing lessons. In an entertaining way, I would like to support singers in their training and daily vocal work.

The articles are based on my own 20 years of experience as a singing teacher and singer, plus insights from modern voice science and vocal pedagogy.

Once a month a new blog article will be published. I hope its contents will be useful and enriching for you.

The lessons are a lot of fun, very systematic and at the same time individual. Bernadette is very likeable and a professional singer with very good didactics. You take away exercises that you can work on at home and build on in the next lesson. I have already been able to significantly expand my vocal range, have developed better vocal stability and have really discovered my voice. Through the lessons with Bernadette, I am now also getting to know my voice as an instrument, learning different techniques and I am very happy to have taken this step and can really recommend the lessons."
