Johanna Zweifel says, "(Translated by Google) Dennis is a gifted vocal coach I've been taking lessons with him for almost two years now, and I feel like I've made tremendous progress. There are two things I particularly appreciate: First, he introduces you to vocal technique in a very structured way during warm-ups, which instills confidence and a sense of accomplishment. Second, even though we work on a song in great detail, from the very first lesson, the focus is primarily on the musical arrangement and the lyrics: What story do I want to tell with my song? What does it mean to me? How can I convey that through singing? This is often quite challenging, sometimes even frustrating, as my many technical issues tend to demand attention, but of course learning without challenges is impossible! And, most importantly, this ensures that we don't lose sight of the ultimate goal: to truly make music and explore its richness! All of this takes place in a relaxed and humorous atmosphere with plenty of encouraging and supportive feedback. I always thoroughly enjoy the lessons.(Original)Dennis ist ein begnadeter Gesangslehrer - ich nehme jetzt knapp 2 Jahre Unterricht bei ihm, in denen ich gefhlt sehr grosse Fortschritte gemacht habe. Es sind zwei Dinge, die mir besonders gefallen: Erstens, er fhrt einen whrend des Einsingens sehr strukturiert in die Gesangstechnik ein und vermittelt somit Sicherheit und Erfolgserlebnisse. Zweitens, auch wenn wir durchaus sehr kleinteilig an einem Lied arbeiten, geht es von der ersten Stunde an - in erster Linie um die musikalische Gestaltung und den Text: welche Geschichte will ich mit meinem Lied erzhlen? Was bedeutet diese fr mich? Wie kann ich das singend vermitteln? Das ist oft ziemlich herausfordernd, manchmal auch durchaus frustrierend, wollen sich doch meine vielen technischen Baustellen gern in den Vordergrund drngen, aber natrlich - Lernen ohne Herausforderungen ist ein Ding der Unmglichkeit! Und, das Allerwichtigste dabei ist, dass wir somit nicht das eigentliche Ziel aus den Augen verlieren: wirklich Musik zu machen und ihren Reichtum auszuloten! All dies geschieht in einer entspannt humorvollen Atmosphre mit viel anspornendem, wohlwollendem Zuspruch. Ich geniesse die Stunden immer sehr."See more
