Background

About Elisabetta Lanfredini

I am a singer and a passionated voice teacher with 20 years of experience as vocal/music educator. I currently sing as leader and give concerts in projects of experimental, original and electronic music. I have been singer for many different bands and projects of Brazilian music, jazz, traditional Italian and mediterranean repertoire and gave my voice for sound installations, theater plays, videos and dance projects. Moreover, after my BA Thesis in Ethnomusicology and a deep field research on central Italy music traditions, I have written several articles and realised video documentaries about the Italian traditional oral poetry known as "Ottava Rima". I give lessons and vocal workshops about modern/jazz singing and improvisation. Teaching for me is much more than shape a voice: I loves to create the condition for people to sing together, beyond and taking inspiration, from their cultural background and geographic origins. Singing is a way to bring to the surface people's truth and inner needs for expression.

Singing is a way to bring to the surface people's truth and inner needs for expression. When I lead a singing group, I am just a tool between the music and the people, I steps aside and observe the magic happens.
