I'm Laura! I have loved music and singing as long as I can remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite my love for singing, I only started taking singing lessons later in life: for relaxation after work when I worked in Shanghai, China. I loved it! Shanghai has a thriving jazz scene and the jazz virus got me too. Through the music school where I studied, I came into contact with jazz musicians and I soon performed with various jazz ensembles at events, in jazz clubs and restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-gallery-stacked alignwide\"><ul class=\"alignwide coblocks-gallery has-fullwidth-images\"><li class=\"coblocks-gallery--item\"><figure class=\"coblocks-gallery--figure\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"336\" data-attachment-id=\"190\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/lauragreebe.com\/en\/img_1999-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lauragreebe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/e171f-img_1999.jpg?fit=1280%2C336&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1280,336\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 550D&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1318686556&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.008&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"@at JZ Festival Shanghai 2011\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;@ at JZ Festival Shanghai 2011&lt;\/p&gt;\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Ba Mao Ensemble @ JZ Festival Shanghai 2011&lt;\/p&gt;\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lauragreebe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/e171f-img_1999.jpg?fit=1024%2C269&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-190 has-shadow-none\" data-id=\"190\" data-imglink=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lauragreebe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/e171f-img_1999.jpg?resize=1280%2C336&#038;ssl=1\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After moving to Germany, I studied Jazz and Contemporary Music\u00a0at the Freies Musikzentrum\u2019s Jazz Projekt in Munich. I sang at the famous Unterfahrt Jazzclub and sang at various other venues with my band Jazz Preferred in and around Munich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a few years I moved to Zurich, Switzerland and sang Brazilian and Cuban songs with my Latin Trio Muladillo. I also sang with my jazz band Red Velvet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While living in Switzerland, I started training as a singing teacher at the internationally renowned Institute of Vocal Advancement (IVA) and also started teaching singing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have been living in the Netherlands again for a few years now: in the beautiful city of Breda. And I still enjoy teaching voice lessons, because sharing your passion for music and singing with others is of course a nice thing to do. Especially hearing how you can help other singers to sing even better and get the best out of themselves. That's my motivation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"background-color:#edf3f4;flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Music examples<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/lauragreebe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/yesterdays-jazz-preferred-sample.mp3\"><\/audio><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jazz Preferred: Yesterdays<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/lauragreebe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/muladillo-demo-brigas-nuncas-mais.mp3\"><\/audio><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Muladillo: Brigas Nunca Mais <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/lauragreebe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/no-more-blues.mp3\"><\/audio><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Muladillo: No More Blues <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/lauragreebe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/muladillo-estate.mp3\"><\/audio><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Muladillo: Estate <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IYwXJYpTzlk?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;start=5&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Trailer International Ocean Film Tour<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Need more information about voice lessons, gigs or bookings? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact me! <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/lauragreebe.com\/en\/contact\/\">Contact<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wie is Laura Greebe?
