Real stories from real students — beginners, professionals, and everyone in between — who found their voice with Maria.
When I first came to Maria, I was convinced I couldn’t sing. From the moment I began working with her, everything changed. Her incredible patience, deep expertise, and unique ability to tap into the core of who I am not only transformed my voice but also my life.
Maria has a gift for bringing out the best in her students. She didn’t just teach me how to sing — she helped me discover a side of myself I didn’t know existed. My voice has grown stronger, more powerful, and more expressive than I ever thought possible, and this newfound confidence has impacted every aspect of my life.
Working with Maria has been a truly life-changing experience. I can’t recommend her enough — she is a teacher, a mentor, and someone who will help you find your true voice in ways you never imagined.
Maria is one of the most amazing and most inspirational people I know, she has extended my vocal skills to a level I thought I could never perform at. My experience with Maria has only been positive, she is truly the best. Maria takes her time exploring every aspect of your voice, especially the emotional part. Maria will teach you how to perform and enjoy what you perform. She is one of the most talented people I know and look up to on a daily.
Maria has the most interesting program, when I came to Maria I was a semi-beginner, and learning with her was an absolute delight considering how well and easily Maria demonstrates the right technique and proper placements!
Maria makes her students confident, and happy and enjoy singing operas, jazz songs, and many more absolutely delightful pieces!
Since the day I met Maria, not one day have I experienced any downsides or any unmotivating lessons with Maria. Maria will make singing fun, interesting, unique, and most importantly enjoyable. Maria is the best of the best.
Maria is far from being my first singing teacher. My passion for opera singing became more than just a hobby a long time ago. It is a long and difficult process of personal research. Each person we meet along this journey has the potential to bring us something valuable or equally to damage one’s voice. While it is always a very delicate procedure to begin working with a new teacher, it is a necessary risk in order to evolve as a singer. I consider my workshops with Maria as being very successful and key to my artistic development.
First of all she discovered my weaknesses very quickly (breathing). Secondly, with Maria being a very sensitive and open person, who facilitates communication, one is able to advance more efficiently. Thirdly I was able to learn important information regarding the nuances of musical performance.
In comparison to my other teachers, Maria pays more attention to the beauty, colour and quality of your voice (not just strength or loudness). She works on the whole vocal instrument rather than individual elements of it. This approach encourages you to feel a more complex and organic development.
She’s got a very good approach to working on your breathing technique, allowing you to really feel and understand how your muscles work and giving you the ability to manage your voice.
She inspires confidence in your own abilities and provides you the necessary tools to become independent.
The only disadvantage is that there is never enough time to do everything… and you desperately wait for your next lesson with her.
Maria is the most amazing singing teacher I have found, and I have searched in many countries and tried many styles. She has transformed my singing to a level I never thought possible, and all this in only a few weeks of regular lessons. She has an amazing gift to share as a teacher.

Singing lessons with Maria are so much more than just voice training. She challenges you to face the depths of your inner world through voice and expression. A passionate, animated and talented teacher, she encourages students to reach their full potential.
Jo Mall
Maria is a remarkable singing teacher, with unique techniques that bring out the best in you. She is incredibly insightful and works to the individual’s strengths and weaknesses, customising the lesson around the student, not trying to work the student around the lesson.
Her energy is infectious. No matter what kind of day you have, you leave Maria’s lessons renewed and in high spirits feeling like you could move mountains.

As a professional musician and singer, I thought I knew how to use my voice. I was very, very wrong. Maria has opened a whole world to me, re-set what I thought were my capabilities and improved my singing voice beyond what anything I imagined.
