Russian Music Academy of Barcelona
Classical singing
Classical singing treats the voice as an instrument: breathing, support, placement and resonance. It is a technique built over time that allows the opera, oratorio and art song repertoire to be tackled while protecting vocal health.
We offer one-to-one lessons for all levels and with a flexible timetable.
Educational provision
We offer three pathways of music education for our students:
Official qualifications
We prepare students for entrance exams to the country's main conservatoires of music, for both intermediate and higher education degrees.
Trinity College
As an official Trinity examination centre, we offer our students the opportunity to gain an internationally recognised certificate that proves their musical level.
Individual plan
We welcome students of all ages and all levels. For their personal development, we offer individual music tuition plans.
Teachers
Festivals and concerts
Playing in public is the best learning experience.
For this reason, all our students have the opportunity to take part in festivals and concerts organised each year in order to put into practice everything they have learned in the classroom.
Frequently asked questions
We accept singing students from the age of 5. At an early age, the work is different from that of an adult: it focuses on the ear, pitch and vocal play, without ever straining the voice. The children's programme includes music theory, vocal technique, repertoire, vocal ensemble and children's choir.
Yes, with no age limit. Before starting, we have a personal interview to listen to your voice and understand your goals. The adult programme includes vocal technique, repertoire, music theory, specific sight-singing for singers, sight-reading, musical literature, opera history and vocal ensemble.
There is no need to bring it: the work consists precisely of developing it. Almost everyone has more vocal resources than they think, and what separates a trained voice from an untrained one is technique, not the starting point.
Classical singing encompasses opera, oratorio, art song and concert song. The repertoire is chosen according to the voice type, level and interests of each student. If you are looking for other styles, we also offer contemporary singing.
Vocal technique and repertoire classes are individual. The vocal ensemble, choir and theoretical subjects are taught in groups, with a fixed timetable.
One-to-one lessons are arranged directly with the tutor according to their and your availability. Group subjects follow a fixed weekly timetable which you can check before enrolling.
Yes. Our teachers prepare students for the entrance exams to conservatoires in Catalonia at all levels.
The official syllabus follows the curriculum of the Department of Education of the Generalitat, with elementary and professional grades, and prepares students for entrance to conservatoires. Trinity College London is an eight-level British certification plus an initial level, with international validity. These are two distinct regulated pathways and you can follow one, the other or both.
We teach music in four languages: Spanish, Catalan, Russian and English. Each student can receive their lessons in the language they find most comfortable, subject to teacher availability.
