It is such fun to push myself and use your recordings to learn my part. This is a great concept. Together with other singers, and with Anke as an inspirational conductor I take the leap and we work together whilst living our individual lives across the globe and produce amazing joyful vibes around two songs. What an amazing project! (Gabi, UK)

After the Zoom rehearsal, I found myself going around the house singing and enjoying myself. Thank you so much for your inspiration!

A surprising and inspiring project! Anke has managed to organize a quality virtual singing project with singers from different countries.
The varied song material provides a good challenge. Her support during the five week project (including Zoom Café Sessions, instruction mp3’s, rehearsal videos and finally the ‘conductor’s video’) are of high quality and encourage you to give your best.

Receiving this first video, I was thinking: How grateful we can be to have this unique possibility to keep our voice without having to travel! Up to now no one of my conductors in the Netherlands offer a comparable opportunity. It is really a huge work to organise, so: “Hooray for a courageous, enterprising woman!” and thank you from a never too old to learn and ever enthusiastic pupil.

When I heard about Anke’s new singing projects I was excited. I used to have lessons with her years ago, and now we are in touch again. I am glad to have another chance to develop my singing skills with her.

She has guided this project with passion and professionalism. The result she achieves is very high quality of the final recording. Thanks to her music projects, we are connected with all kinds of people from  all over the world with the same passion – which is singing & making music.
Thank you Anke for your creativity to keep music alive in this
current crazy Covid-19 world! (Emke, Netherlands)

It is so lovely to be singing with you and the others. The videos are really clear. Thank you so much for continuing and for uniting people across the world. (Carol, France)

I missed singing together so much since the lockdown in March 2020! This is why I was instantly hooked when I read about Anke’s online projects. I had been to her singing holidays in Southwest France, and hoped that, through this online project, I’d be able to transport some of that joy to the here and now. And yes, it worked!
Already the choice of songs was so typically Anke. A 16^th century song and a contemporary hit from the sixties. Both of the songs were wonderful to sing and to study.
It was quite a challenge to record my own voice. I made countless recordings as I didn’t like hearing myself and made mistakes. My relief was enormous when Anke complimented me with the result.
For me, the fun in this project is the combination of finding joy in singing and at the same time learning something completely new. I have already booked for the next project! (Bettina, Netherlands)

One of the great pluses of working with you through Zoom is that I can record the singing lessons. It's never possible to grasp everything at once, so for me it is a great help that I can replay each session. I work with you once a week, but basically I am giving myself a singing lesson as a present every single day! 
(Barthe, Netherlands)

Just want to thank you for another of your wonderful lessons. I really appreciate your approach. The way in which you fish the voice out from those hidden depths is marvelous and makes me feel so satisfied and pleased with myself afterwards! (Jackie, Sweden)

We've done terrific work. I'm starting to make some progress on the breath support principle, holding my chest out and working against the exhale. And I am really loving the mouth shape we practiced. It makes a huge difference to my sound. (Peter, Australia)

Thanks to the Corona crisis I am now taking singing lessons with Anke. It is a real benefit. Together, we monitor my posture on the screen, and through Zoom, I can record the lesson. Her enthusiasm and creativity during my weekly singing hour give me the energy boost that I so need in these times. I have learned so much during these past weeks. Thanks to Anke I rediscovered my joy of singing! (Brenda, Netherlands)
