PEDAGOGIE

"I have been working with Valérie Guillorit for 4 years now, and it is undoubtedly one of the most fulfilling jobs I do. Valérie is a very attentive teacher, with an exceptional instinct for singing and extraordinary sensitivity. Thanks to Valérie, I have discovered that it is never about proving or constructing a voice, but rather allowing the voice within us to flourish gently, through breath control, body openness, and a love for singing."

I had the privilege of taking singing lessons with Valérie, and I can only recommend her teaching. Her pedagogy is both attentive and tailored to each student, allowing progress at one's own pace while fully exploring vocal potential. Thanks to her great expertise and passion for music, each lesson is an enriching and motivating experience. Her caring and professional approach creates an ideal environment for artistic growth.

The work Valérie and I have done together, which I truly appreciate, is that we didn’t just stay on the surface to make things “sound pretty,” but rather sought the free sound that, in itself, is already a significant part of the music. It was a work on breath and vocal freedom, combining extreme precision—since Valérie has a very keen ear—while always remaining in the momentum of the music. As Valérie puts it: there isn’t a single note that shouldn’t be musical, even in a vocalise.

“Valérie a une oreille rare couplée d’une magnifique exigence : jamais elle ne laissera l’effet gratuit faire son entrée ! On revient toujours et encore au centre du son, celui qui brille à l’intérieur de soi sans pousser, comme un artisan se remettant sans cesse à l’ouvrage. J’ai souvent la sensation en cours avec Valérie de trouver la plasticité et le vernis que je cherche dans ma voix sans pour autant m’être concentrée là-dessus. Le chemin pour y accéder est toujours surprenant et passionnant. On a là une excellente professeure de chant, à condition en tant qu’élève d’oser faire ce chemin de patience et d’authenticité.”

"What I particularly appreciate about her teaching is the sense of flexibility she brings to my singing. She encourages me to place a specific focus on the breath while never forgetting the rest of the "vocal machine." Her approach is comprehensive: she focuses on the torso and the pelvis, but also on the head, the mouth, the tongue and every little part of the body involved in the vocal gesture. She also pays attention to external movements, like those of the arms and hands, which often reflect internal mechanisms. Nothing escapes her. Thanks to her keen eye and work on proprioception, I am refining my body awareness and feeling more freedom in my voice. Moreover her reading recommendations also deepen my understanding of singing. At the end of each lesson, I leave with an exhilarating sense of fluidity, a voice that is both free and powerful, and an ever-growing desire to sing."
