Duo "Black&White"

Professional opera singers and vocal teachers with many years of stage and teaching experience.

Our main focus is on singing lessons, aimed at both beginners and advanced learners – children and adults. We work individually, focusing on voice, technique, breathing, musicality and confident stage presence.

We combine classical vocal school with practical experience on international stages, adapting our teaching to each student's goals – whether they dream of professional development or simply want to sing with pleasure and confidence.

In addition to our teaching activities, we also participate in selected concerts and private events, which enrich our practice and maintain our lively connection with the stage.
