"Paolo created a safe and productive environment where it was easy and fun to improve. I very much enjoyed how he explained the physical mechanism behind vocal production, and as a detail orientated person, I found that to be personally very useful in gaining a better understanding of my own voice. I can highly recommend his lessons!" "Paololla on jo yhden laulutunnin perusteella kattava ja todella yksityiskohtainen ymmärrys äänen käyttämisestä lauluun! Suosittelen!" [The first lesson already reveals that Paolo has a wide and detailed understanding of the singing voice! Go for it!"] "If you are looking for someone to help you with 70s/80s classic rock/metal singing, THIS IS THE GUY. Sure he can do other genres too, but if you want to know how legends such as Ronnie Dio, Rob Halford and Ian Gillan create their signature tones, then look no further." |
"Having Paolo as my singing teacher was a massive game changer for my singing abilities. He definitely helped me reach levels that I couldn’t even dare to imagine! Great teacher and a great person. Thank you Paolo!" "Paolon tunnit auttoivat valtavasti omien efektitekniikoiden kehittymisessä." [Paolo's lessons helped me greatly with developing my vocal effects technique.] "Olen käynyt parisen vuotta Paolon laulutunneilla ja tässä ajassa on tapahtunut uskomaton kehitys omassa äänenkäytössä. Paolo on rohkaiseva, kannustava ja osaa antaa rakentavaa palautetta." 🤘 -Matti [I've been taking lessons from Paolo for a couple years, and the progress in my vocal control has been incredible. Paolo is encouraging and supportive, and good at offering constructive criticism.] |

Duration of the lessonsLessons are 45 minutes long. Double lessons are 90 minutes long.
I recommend to record each lesson through an audio recorder or your phone. At home, you can revisit the exercises, songs or idea we have worked on in previous lessons. Lesson bundles and validity periodLessons can be purchased in 3, 5, 7, 10 or 15 lessons -bundles. New students can also purchase only 1-2 lessons on their first time.
The validity period for a 3-lessons bundle is 2 months (starting on the day of purchase). The validity period for a 5-lessons bundle is 3 months (starting on the day of purchase). The validity period for a 7-lessons bundle is 4 months (starting on the day of purchase). The validity period for a 10-lessons bundle is 6 months (starting on the day of purchase). The validity period for a 15-lessons bundle is 9 months (starting on the day of purchase). In case I am unavailable for a long period of time (e.g. vacation, tour, etc.), the validity period of any bundle is lengthened by the same amount of time as my absence/unavailability. Lessons must be purchased before they are carried out. FrequencyAlthough I don’t demand a specific frequency of attendance, I highly recommend regularity. My experience as both student and teacher has shown me – through quite solid empiric evidence – that progress is achieved by frequent practice and medium- to long-term commitment. Attending a lesson every now and then certainly brings ‘some’ improvement, but usually not very solid nor lasting one, and certainly not as much as consistent attendance.
In the best-case scenario, I endorse weekly attendance. Twice a month (single or double lesson) is also a good cadence. Professionals and advanced students might consider a bit looser schedule or intensive periods. Nevertheless, keep in mind the most important things:
CancellationsScheduled lessons can be cancelled on the previous day at 12.00 at the latest, regardless of the lesson’s scheduled time. For example, a lesson scheduled for Tuesday at 17.45 can be cancelled until Monday at 12.00.
Cancelled lessons meeting this requirement can be scheduled again to a later day for a maximum of 2 times, after which the lesson is considered as given. A lesson cancelled too late is generally considered as given. In exceptional cases (force majeure), it is possible to negotiate alternative solutions. In case the teacher cancels the lesson, the latter is always re-scheduled to a later time. PaymentAvailable payment methods are:
a) bank wire or mobile app transfer (PayPal, MobilePay, Revolut) b) cash c) Smartum!, Edenred, ePassi or Eazybreak (discontinued) credit I always release an invoice. For large and expensive lesson bundles, payments in multiple installments can easily be arranged (the installments shall be defined in the invoice). The interest on delayed payments is 10%. Unfortunately, refunds are not possible as standard policy. HealthIt is strongly recommended to avoid attending live lessons when ill. Remember that much can be accomplished on a good online lesson too. |
