Teaching activities
Classical Voice teacher
„Singing educates the taste, enriches and ennobles the mind, and
directs the will to good.“
(Eugenie Schumann 1851-1938, German music writer, biographer of her parents, Clara und Robert Schumann)
The joy, and love of, and dedication to classical singing and classical music are at the centre of
Patricia Argast’s teaching. In addition to the technical and musical content of her teaching, the
individual, their vocal-musical expression, their personal development, their origins and cultural
awareness are important to her.
As a classical singer and vocal teacher trained in the Bel Canto school, in which the beauty of the
sung tone has a high priority, she sees herself as a teacher between tradition and modernity. The
range of her teaching activities is very broad.
