Mari-Souzan Mouzela

I am a professional Singer, Violinist with professional stage and live performance experience, as well as Vocal teacher with around eight years of experience teaching voice and violin.

My background combines Music, Performance & Theatre. I am an Excellent Graduate and Diploma in Violin, Graduate of Higher Theory and Excellent Holder of the P.P.S. “Voice in Song” of the National and Kapodistrian University. I studied monody with Dimitris Kavrakos and graduated from the Department of Theater Studies of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, with excellent Postgraduate Studies in Directing, Dramaturgy,  and Performance.

I teach contemporary and expressive singing with a particular focus on jazz, soul, R&B, musical theatre, bleus, pop and related styles. My approach combines vocal technique with musical interpretation, helping each student develop a stronger, more expressive and confident voice.

As a singer and violinist I took part in classical, jazz, pop, musical and contemporary music concerts,

I received certification for her contribution to the Opening Ceremony of the 25th Boris Christoff Art Festival at the Sofia Museum.

I welcome students at all levels, from complete beginners with no previous musical knowledge to experienced singers who want to further develop and refine their voice as an instrument.

For more advanced students, lessons can focus on strengthening technique, expanding vocal and interpretive skills, developing a personal artistic approach, or preparing for auditions, competitions and performances.

My teaching style is personal, practical and focused on needs of each student helping develop their own voice.

I combine vocal exercises with repertoire, so that technique is immediately connected to singing.

I pay particular attention to breathing, vocal freedom, articulation, phrasing and musical expression. I also work on interpration, helping students understand how to communicate the meaning and emotion of a song rather than simply reproduce the melody.

I adapt each lesson to the student's level, goals and musical interests, whether they want to build confidence, improve their technique, prepare specific songs and develop their performance skills.
