Anna Riveiro has been a fabulous teacher, and I've treasured the opportunity to study Ancient Sephardic and Hebrew vocal traditions with her. The online tuition option was very convenient, allowing me to study from Australia despite the international travel restrictions. Anna's instruction proved very helpful as I prepared certain arrangements for live performances and recording projects. I greatly appreciated her expertise on linguistic inflections in the oral Sephardic tradition, as subtle differences often occur.
\nAnna Riveiro is a lovely and encouraging teacher, and I am blessed to have had time with her.<\/strong><\/em>

I came to Anna Riveiro a few years ago intending to work on voice emission but as soon as we spoke it became obvious that I would sing. I had always dreamt of singing but thought it was beyond my capacities - until I met the right teacher. Ania is a great person, an outstanding artist and a talented instructor. Thanks to her, Hebrew and Sephardic songs have become a part of my everyday life and, recently, my way of coping with the pandemic, because we have successfully managed to hold our lessons online.

I have always thought that if I can sing high, it is impossible for me to sing low. How wrong could I be! After a few months of singing lessons with Anna Riveiro I found out that my vocal range developed in an unbelievable way \u2013 both up and down! Maybe it is because since the first meeting I have been feeling I am in good hands \u2013\u00a0 <\/span>I am taught by a wonderful teacher, outstanding singer and a wonderful person. I really like these lessons very much not only because of great vocal exercises and interesting songs, but also due to the atmosphere \u2013\u00a0 <\/span>Anna does not stress me out, but she supports me and makes my voice sound as good as possible. I love the songs we sing \u2013 Sephardic songs are really beautiful and quite rare in Poland, so that\u2019s a great opportunity to learn them with Anna Riveiro (who really knows how to sing them!) During the pandemic lessons take place online, but it is not a problem at all and in my opinion everybody can learn how to sing and develop their own voice this way as well.

I have been taking online lessons with Anna Riveiro for four months. At the beginning I was skeptical about online singing classes, but my teacher quickly proved me wrong. I have noticed that online lessons help me spot my mistakes faster. However, I owe the most to Ania. She is a nice person and very knowledgeable about singing. She solved my problem very quickly as I couldn't sing high-pitched notes. She can also help with a good repertoire and a song recording or performance preparation.\u00a0 I have noticed I have made a lot of progress since the day I started, so if you love to sing and feel that something is not working for you, I think Ania will easily help you improve and fix what's needed.

As someone who used to sing and train my voice over over a decade ago, I was nervous to start singing again. Anna helped me to gain confidence in my voice again and introduced me to beautiful Sephardic music. She also helped me expand my vocal range. The joy of singing has been reignited and I am more curious to explore other styles of singing, outside of my comfort zone. Thank you, Anna, for your patience and encouragement. You have a wonderful way of teaching and I recommend your classes to all!<\/strong>

I studied with Anna Riveiro online from the UK for a few years. She is very kind, but exacting and really knows how to sing and how to teach it. I really wanted to sing songs with the guitar I had been playing for many years, but I didn't have the courage to do it. Anna helped me to gain confidence and develop my voice beyond what I thought was possible...<\/i>

Life is a journey and we constantly meet amazing souls on our path. I met one recently - such an amazing person and patient teacher! I'm honoured to be a humble student of Anna Riveiro- not only does she give me vocal lessons but also helps me gain so much self-confidence! Anna always creates a relaxing atmosphere and she helps me to come out of my comfort zone. Thank you Anna for encouraging me to sing beautiful Sephardic songs. Can\u2019t wait for more, Anna!

I participate in singing lessons online with Anna Riveiro. Singing has always been my dream. Before I met Anna Riveiro I was sure <\/i>that <\/i><\/span>I could not do it and I did not have any abilities. One day I thought that at least I should try. I had nothing to lose <\/i>so<\/i><\/span> I could test myself and gain something. And I managed! I got much more than I had expected and it is not the end \u2013 I am learning more and more. I have achieved it thanks to Anna Riveiro who has always supported me from the very beginning. Although emitting the first sounds was very stressful for me, due to the atmosphere created by Anna Riveiro I was able to overcome my tension and fears. Anna Riveiro lets me explore an amazing world of music and singing. Thanks to these lessons the words \u201esomebody sings with every fibre of their being\u201d got a new meaning. The goal is to develop one\u2019s voice, but also control the body, mind and emotions \u2013 and all that is delivered with sensitivity and a bit of humour. Not only have I gained the voice that I have always been dreaming of but Anna Riveiro has also inspired me to develop new career paths. Anna Riveiro is an incredibly competent and professional teacher and \u2013 what is most important \u2013 she is very sensitive to the needs of a particular student. She supports and motivates her pupils so that they can achieve their dreams and goals. <\/i>Thank you, Anna!

I have been having singing lessons with Ania Riveiro for a year and two months. I started from the very beginning, but during that period of time my voice developed very quickly and I started singing difficult Sephardic and Hebrew songs. Now I am having online lessons. This way of learning is not an obstacle to further develop and enhance my voice.\u00a0

Anna Riveiro \u2013 a singer, artist and for us, her students \u2013 Ania.
\n<\/i>I started lessons with Ania 10 years ago. I came for a workshop that she was running during holiday period for the group \u201cLos Bilbilicos\u201d. I just wanted o sing for a month, but I have stayed ever since \u2013 because of a great atmosphere in the group, because of an unusual, original repertoire but mainly because of Ania, who is warm, charismatic and professional in every aspect of her work. She is not only a teacher, but also an outstanding performer who sings beautiful pieces. Ania is able to \u201cextract\u201d our voices, sometimes hidden under our fears and shame. I started singing as an alto, but after some time my range widened and I started singing as a soprano. <\/i>Every week we wait impatiently for the lesson, because it gives us a chance to break away from everyday life and enter the world of beautiful songs. Particularly now, when we cannot meet face to face and the lessons are organized online, these weekly meetings are a breath of fresh air in our houses closed due to the pandemic\u2026

It\u2019s never too late to learn! I have found Anna and her wonderful small singing group while living in Warsaw a couple years ago. When I started attending the classes, I had only a vague idea on how far my voice could be developed as I have not been singing before. Good sense of music and rythm, some bravery, Anna\u2019s warm encouragement, and friendly camaraderie of everyone in the group made my growth possible. In a way, Sephardic and other songs in group\u2019s repertoire can be a challenge for everyone as you are singing in a language you don\u2019t understand. But the challenge is so worth it as melodies are absolutely beautiful and stretch your abilities in a way more conventional lessons or chorus practice might not have. I was sad to leave the classes behind as time came to return to the US in March of 2020. That\u2019s where pandemic had a positive effect - one of very few, of course. The classes went online which meant I could continue them from my home in New Jersey! \u00a0 Sometimes it was a challenge to carve out time for the online lesson from the work afternoon (rather than attending in the evening), but these weekly sessions have been a source of great comfort and precious human connection, as well as allowed me to continue working on my voice. Forever grateful for the gift of finding Anna and this group!

I sing because I like singing. I have been singing with Maestra for a few years now. When I sing I open my heart and oxygenate my brain, because when you sing, you have to breathe! You can sing out your sorrows and anxieties. It is nice to sing in a group \u2013 it is funnier and livelier this way. It turned out that online session on Zoom work well and we can still meet, even if this is the only way. Maestra has always known how to motivate us \u2013 in a funny but firm way. She is very happy when she sees our progress. We feel that years of exercises bring results. We are developing, opening our voices, growing confidence in our skills and joy when we sing! We know more and more songs and we learn texts that are not always so easy but they give us even more satisfaction. We are happy to know melodies and texts of Sephardic songs that are not going to be forgotten if there is at least one person who remembers them \u2013 like our Maestra. Thank you Ania!
