If you’re a beginner, I’ll give you clear building blocks for a healthy, functional singing and speaking voice. You’re welcome to join even if you feel you “can’t sing” at all. We’ll go through breathing techniques and the basics of free, effortless sound production.
Many clients describe feeling a new sense of freedom in their throat and breathing after just one lesson — and that’s exactly what we’re aiming for!
If you’re a more advanced singer, I can help you prepare songs for performance or studio recording. We’ll identify your vocal strengths as well as areas you’d like to develop. In my lessons, we can work on, for example:
I’m a singer-songwriter obsessed with R&B and soul, and a vocal coach passionate about helping people discover their true voice. I trained as a vocal teacher in Denmark (Complete Vocal Institute) and in Finland (MA, Sibelius Academy, University of the Arts), and I love guiding singers to unlock their full vocal potential.
Singing is… well, the best. Come join me!
Each of our voices is valuable and unique. At first, your voice may feel small (or a bit unruly), but it has incredible potential for growth when we teach your vocal muscles to work the way you want them to! I respect your life situation and your goals. You are welcome to develop your voice exactly as you are.
I really appreciate Ilona's individualized approach and efficient way of teaching! With her guidance, I am able to quickly correct my technique (or in some cases, lack of technique). These seemingly small adjustments make a HUGE difference and provide immediate results regarding improved tone, pitch, and power. I highly recommend Ilona!

Ilona’s energetic and encouraging teaching has ignited my passion for singing. In every lesson, I’ve pushed myself further and learned to use my voice more creatively than I ever thought possible. For 25 years, I believed I couldn’t sing — but with Ilona’s guidance, I’ve realized that I can. Thank you for your expert teaching!
