Magda Navarrete is a voice coach, professional singer, performer & dancer. Founder of many worldwide events and projects. Stands on stage from last 30 years singing and performing, recording albums and touring the world as a singer and as a teacher. Magda together with her husband Andres created several international projects that are dedicated to create space and place for other singers and artists to grow. Learning from her own experiences, from teaching around the world, and as well from being part of several singing organizations - brought her to co-found the Modern Vocal Training Institute - looking for better knowledge and better opportunities for others to develop themselfs.

Magda’s specialty is World Music. Developing her talent and honing her skills since she began singing at nine years old, Magda has gained vast multicultural experience while travelling and working around the world. Born in Warsaw, and studied music and anthropology in Madrid. While living in Madrid, she sang with flamenco musicians and learnt from the masters of this style. She sings boleros, latin and gypsy music, flamenco, polish traditional music and many fusion music. She has collaborated on multiple musical productions and festivals all over the world, including Colombia, Venezuela, Mexico, New York, Romania, Germany, Morocco, Ireland, Finland, Czech Republic, Switzerland, etc

As a performing artist, Magda’s unusual style is a result of her consciously letting different musical styles influence her. Magda has recorded 4 albums: “Chilli” with Noche de Boleros (released on Warner Music and distributed on the Polish, Spanish and German markets), “IMAN” under her own name, “Warsaw Lutoslawski” with Peter Steczek and string orquesta, and “Mezihra” with her international band czech - polish , Caravana Banda which is headline group of many world music festivals and theatres like Dublin Fringe Festival, NOSPR in Katowice, etc.

ACTING FOR SINGERSEntering to a band is only half of your work; Once you are inside, you are expected to perform a great performance each and every time. Good singing is not the only thing people would expect of you when you get on stage. The way you move, how you present yourself and everything you do while you sing will be a big part of what is called: PERFORMANCE. This workshop will show you what is needed to improve each of the things necessary to create good acting and how to find authenticity and stand out from the crowd. The Acting For Singers workshop will give you an idea of how to position yourself on stage, how to move, how to use your own musicality, how you look and how to perform. All this through a form of work based on building „true emotion” and „following the impulse”. Thanks to the „IMPROV” technique of Chicago – You can try different characters and have a lot of fun. We will be using tools of theatrical work to deepen the musicality of each one. Through laughter, fun exercises You can explore their „stage fright” or „feel stuck” or „have few ideas how to act once we get on stage” and turn weaknesses into their new artistic power.

WORLD CHANTSPut your seat belts on and let your self go to undiscovered and new music lands. During this workshop you will learn different usage of voice in different cultures, songs from diverse part of the world and in many different languages. You will experience different voice techniques used in local folklore. You will try “Mugam” from Azerbaijan, or quarter tones from Arabic Music, “white singing” from Eastern Europe and some crazy ornaments from Spanish Flamenco.

A CAPELLAGreat RnB singers must possess a mixture of vocal technique, knowledge of vocal effects and have their own unique style. In this class we will analyse some of the most iconic RnB singers, identify how they use vocal effects and learn to apply these effects to repertoire. Singers will be expected to learn 2 songs by heart from a list that will be provided before camp.

EAR TRAININGIn Ear Training, we will be looking primarily at how to identify the common intervals that are used in Western Music. Why is this important? Well as singers we don't have the luxury of physically being able to see our instrument, like a guitarist or a pianist, and so often we have to rely on our ears and muscle memory. This class will help us to identify intervals and also look at how we can use them in putting together basic harmonies.

SINGING DUETSIn this class we will be exploring the ways in which we can structure an awesome duet! We will be looking at examples of great duet singing and then pairing off to put what we learn into practice. This class is ideally suited to people who are comfortable singing solo and duetting in front of the rest of the class, and comfortable with singing and formatting harmonies under instruction and on your own.

ANDRÉS MARTORELLIreland, UruguayFounder of European Vocal Camp


Having helped 1000s of singers with their voices & stagecraft throughout her teaching career, Julie Miles director of Vocal Ovation has rapidly become the North of England’s most highly rated and sought after voice teachers. She is the “go to” head judge for many National singing competitions & regularly hosts showcases for the producers of all the mainstream TV talent shows in order to put forward singers from her ever growing list of talented students. Many of those students now have international careers & significant performances to their names & have supported or worked alongside Worldwide stars. Julie herself made prime time TV this year as a judge on BBC1’s singing show, All Together Now. Julie’s knowledge and experience of singing and performing along with her ability to effectively coach, develop and motivate makes an extremely dynamic and powerful combination. It is now regularly said that she works “magic” on her students voices, not to mention their confidence and for that very reason has been labelled “Magic Miles” by so many of them. She is our MVT Mentor for the UK & we could not be happier to have her on our team.

PERFORMING WITH EMOTION We communicate on a daily basis in conversation, sharing stories, thoughts & emotions through speech. We adapt our intonation, inflection, volume & use body language to express ourselves & engage at a deeper level. Why then, when we’re singing to a captive audience, do we so often fall short & forget we’re doing exactly the same? During this practical class you will learn techniques & strategies to really connect to your audience and remain present within your whole performance. Whilst an audience may enjoy & appreciate hearing a singer with the most perfect vocal technique & range, a singer who gives a performance that has real intent & purpose will have an emotional impact & a lasting impression, in some cases one that will be remembered forever. Everyone surely lives to be that singer!

AUDITIONS The very word “Audition” can leave even the most experienced singer a quivering nervous wreck. The pressure to deliver your very best in an unnatural environment with, in some cases crazy time limitations seems like enough to make even the Beyoncé’s of this world want to give up singing forever! For serious singers however, auditions are going to come along at some point & the key to nailing them with just the right amount of confidence is much more about the preparation than the audition itself. From TV shows & West End to local competitions & amateur dramatics, uncontrollable nerves, forgotten lyrics, a bad image & the wrong song choice can be the difference between a yes or no, a celebration or tears. Learn how to take control, showcase the best version of you & prepare for the expected (or unexpected) in this hands on highly interactive session.

JULIANNA OLAŃSKAPoland/ France



Singer, songwriter, performer and music producer. Her love of music began at a public music school in Warsaw, Poland, where she started studying classical piano at the age of 7. After nine years of playing Bach, Beethoven and Chopin, she decided that the life of a classical pianist is not for her and dropped out. She soon started writing her own songs and in 2015 she auditioned for The Voice of Poland. One year later she joined an electronic group called SONAR with which she released two critically acclaimed albums: „Pętle” and „Torino.” The band performed at the biggest music festivals in Poland, including Open’er Festival and Tauron Nowa Muzyka. What she appreciates most about her job is how creative it is. Every day she searches for new sounds, melodies, lyrics and ways to connect with people on a deeper level.

LOOP YOUR VOICEYou’ve probably heard about looping. Maybe you’ve seen videos of people creating entire songs with just one microphone. Or maybe you saw Ed Sheeran perform at a huge stadium – alone with just his guitar and a loop pedal. It’s hard to believe you can make such beautiful and complicated arrangements with so little equipment. In this course you’ll learn how to do that. You’ll discover the tools needed to loop your voice and how to use them. The only requirement is to bring your phone or tablet (with Android or iOS) with you to the class.

INTRO TO MUSIC PRODUCTIONMusic production seems difficult. All that talk about software, hardware, mixing and mastering just makes you not want to start. What you really want is to transfer the ideas in your head into real sounds. In this course you will discover the basics of music production from the perspective of a vocalist. You’ll learn how to use the available tools in a way that will help your creative process and not complicate it. There is an incredible world of sounds and rhythms in these computer programs that could really inspire you and push you into new musical areas. I’d love to show you how to access them.

DEALING WITH STAGE FRIGHTYStage fright is something that all performers experience in one way or another. Sometimes it’s the more obvious physical symptoms such as shaking and going blank, sometimes it’s all going on inside our heads and can present as anxiety and then sometimes as we develop further in our careers it manifests as less obvious things like creative blocks and limited thinking. In this workshop we will look at what stage fright is and what we can do about it. We will understand it further, explore itsdifferent presentations and walk away with practical ways to deal with it. In the process we will learn from each other and understand more about the experience of being a creative person and how we all have so much in common.

CREATIVE DEVELOPEMENTAs creative people it can be difficult to know how to develop ourselves. What does creative development look like? What are our creative needs? How can our thinking about ourselves get in the way of our progress as singers and musicians? What are our blind spots? In this workshop we will look at how our thinking can limit us & develop strategies for progression. We will look at how to understand our musical purpose and explore our contribution to this world, whatever stage or level that might be at. We will look at the importance of presence and connection as performers and walk away with a clearer understanding of ourselves as creative beings.

BUILDING UP YOUR MUSICAL CAREERAs singers and musicians, we sometimes lack structure and vision for our future. Or alternatively we can have a big goal and may miss some of the steps along the way that are so important in order to progress successfully. This workshop will look at our short, mid, and long-term goals as a performer and see what might be helpful for you to progress along that plan. We will look at what your support system might be, the potential pitfalls along the way and explore the importance of realistic goal setting. Participants will walk away with a clear vision of where they are going, along with a flexible and practical way of thinking that allows them to bend with the curves of the creative journey
