PERFORMER
Simone currently serves as the (role) at the Universität der Künste Berlin, balancing scientific precision with artistic insight. Drawing from Helen Tiller's innovative bio-feedback techniques, she reveals the inner workings of the voice with clarity, helping singers develop a more sophisticated relationship with their instrument. Her instruction unfolds as tailored guidance shaped to each singer's particular instrument and artistic objectives, transforming complex vocal mechanics into practical techniques.
Since establishing her Berlin teaching practice in 2014, Simone has attracted diverse students, reflecting her versatility as an educator. Her exceptional diagnostic abilities allow her to quickly identify the underlying causes of vocal difficulties while offering tangible solutions. Students particularly value how every technical adjustment she suggests deliberately connects to broader expressive possibilities, creating an integrated approach to vocal development that serves opera singers from Germany's major houses and jazz, pop, and musical theatre performers.
Simone's fascination with vocal pedagogy began shortly after she began her studies. After graduating from Juilliard, she undertook intensive private study with world-renowned vocal pedagogue and researcher Helen Tiller to deepen her understanding of vocal physiology. This training and her international performing career enhance her teaching with distinctive insights into multilingual repertoire and stylistic traditions. Her technical expertise and global perspective have produced a teaching philosophy that effectively addresses both the physiological demands and interpretive challenges of professional singing across diverse musical landscapes.
