A space to build your voice.

Julieta Pizarro, singing teacher in Torrevieja

About me

My name is Julieta. I'm a singer, songwriter and vocal coach. I've been guiding vocal and technical development processes for fifteen years.

My approach is based on many years of study and practice of the Functional Voice Method (by Eugene Rabine), which is rooted in anatomical, physiological, psychosomatic, acoustic, and musical studies, among others.

Write to clarify your doubts or schedule an interview to get to know each other and experience what the proposal is about.

Functional Voice Method

The body as an integrated system

In this approach, the voice is not seen as an isolated laryngeal process, but as the result of systemic coordination. It's not about "placing" the sound, but about eliminating the muscular interferences that prevent the system from functioning. Body movements are used to distract habitual tensions and allow the respiratory and vocal muscles to act spontaneously.

Self-regulation through feeling

Unlike other methods that require following an external model (imitating the teacher), here the axis is proprioception. The student learns to listen to their own body's signals and to distinguish between healthy effort and unnecessary tension. The teacher doesn't give rigid orders, but proposes experiences that help the nervous system "relearn" a more efficient phonation.

The science behind the sound

The method is supported by key scientific concepts, such as the double laryngeal valve theory or the inspiratory tendency. It is understood that if the air intake is enabled by a body whose muscular chains are available, the vocal cords can vibrate without excessive pressure, which guarantees vocal efficiency and enjoyment. Each exercise has a physiological basis that respects the natural design of the vocal instrument.

Teaching Style

My lessons are dynamic and unstructured, but without losing focus on your vocal and interpretive development. You'll learn to sing by developing your awareness of vocal function, which will enable you to efficiently coordinate the elements involved in singing.

You'll observe significant improvements in your technique and performance through vocal exercises and the development of your self-observation skills. This will allow you to understand firsthand the best way to unleash your voice with more quality, comfort, and without physical effort or harm.

Questions

Do I need previous experience?+

None. Most of my students arrive having never taken a class. The voice is not an exclusive club.

Do online lessons work as well as in-person?+

They're not the same — they're different formats, each with its own pros and cons. Online lessons let you be in your own space, relaxed, no commute. I've been teaching online for over ten years and the results are excellent. All you need is a good internet connection and a space where you can sing comfortably.

What is the Functional Voice Method?+

The method promotes learning and the hierarchy of vocal function through awareness and proprioception, conceiving the voice as another body movement that expresses itself through sound.

It starts from the principle that all muscles are interrelated, so coordinated growth of a small group is only possible when the whole body is involved.

This learning theory about vocal function includes a pedagogical method and vocal training based on these principles, helping us explore our expression and creativity through movement, sound and music.

What styles do you work with?+

I work mainly with popular music, from folk, rock to pop, soul and R&B.

What languages do you teach in?+

I teach in Spanish and English. You can choose the language you prefer for explanations, exercises and repertoire.

From which countries can I take lessons?+

From anywhere in the world. I currently have students in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Australia, and several countries across Latin America, Europe and Asia. All you need is an internet connection.

Can I take lessons if I have a vocal problem?+

Yes. The functional approach is especially suitable for people with dysphonia, vocal fatigue, nodules or other difficulties. We work from perception and body care, without forcing. In some cases a prior medical diagnosis may be needed.

How long until I notice change?+

Depends on your practice between classes. Without practice, no miracle. With honest practice, in a few weeks things already feel different.

Trial classes?+

There's an initial interview for you to get to know me, for me to get to know you, and for you to experience the class dynamics.

Shall we begin?

Tell me about yourself, what brings you, what you need, what you sing. I'll reply as soon as I can. Writing myself.
