About this exposition

Name: Bernadett Hegyi Main Subject: Classical Singing Research Coaches: Gerda van Zelm, Fiona Tree Title of Research: Becoming a Confident Singer and Alexander Technique Research Question: How can Alexander Technique help build a singer's confidence? Summary of Results: One thing that a singer must not lack is self-confidence. Acting and singing at the same time can be crucial for singers, especially because excessive focus on many things can be disadvantageous. I also had the impression from talks with my colleagues that a lack of confidence was very common among young artists. My goal was to understand more about the body as a singer's instrument, and to gain control over my behaviour and misuse of the body on stage and to get more self-confidence through practising Alexander Technique. My research revealed that while there is a definite connection between Alexander Technique and confidence, it is very difficult at this point in time to identify exactly how and why. To have examples of different opinions, I interviewed teachers and students. I applied their and my own discoveries and information to my own individual Alexander Technique practice and singing lessons. In this research paper I have shared the experiences, summaries, interviews and lesson observations I have engaged in. Biography: Bernadett Hegyi was born in Hungary. The young soprano started her music education in Budapest and the University of Pécs Faculty of Music. Since 2009 she has been studying in The Netherlands to continue her studies in the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague to keep mastering her knowledge and talent with her renowned singing teacher, Sasja Hunnego. She developed her skills from Éva Lax, Marianna Váradi, Rita Dams and Andrew Schroeder. She is a member of various choirs and ensembles, and she sings baroque music and contemporary music as a soloist. She has worked with Gijs Leenaars, Daan Admiraal, Rob Vermeulen, Pietro Rizzo, Michal Alber and Peter van Heyghen conductors. Nowadays she mainly focuses on high coloratura soprano repertoire.
