For a singing lesson, spoken‑voice or singing technique session, Vocal Cognitive Stimulation®, or to observe classes at the Atelier Sarkissian in Paris, please contact us via the online form.
How does it work?
At the Atelier Sarkissian in Paris, singing and vocal‑technique lessons are based on the Sarkissian Method®, the first cognitive vocal technique for spoken and sung voice, created by lyric mezzo‑soprano and pedagogue Mariam Sarkissian. Working with the method’s central educational tool, the Balance Triangle®, each student learns to connect creative thought (artistic intention, text, imagery) with technical thought (concrete physical mechanisms), which naturally turns every lesson into genuine cognitive stimulation. In a context where screens and AI accelerate work, learning and communication, the voice becomes a precise, embodied tool for reaching goals while strengthening attention, memory, organisation and creativity.
For whom?
The Atelier Sarkissian welcomes:
- classical and non‑classical singers, from beginners to professionals
- actors, public speakers, teachers and artists who use their speaking voice intensively
- people with fragile voices
- neurotypical and neurodivergent people (dys disorders, ADHD, autistic spectrum, hypersensitive profiles).
Many students come to prepare leading roles, contemporary creations, international competitions or complex role debuts, and testify to lasting improvements in vocal quality, confidence and mental comfort. More and more also come to understand their own neurodiversity in a frame that turns these differences into cognitive and artistic assets.
Where?
Lessons take place at the Atelier Sarkissian in Paris, just a few steps from Place Denfert‑Rochereau, in individual sessions or small groups. Work at the studio can be complemented by online practice through the Virtual Course of the Sarkissian Method®, allowing students in France and abroad to integrate the same tools into their daily routine.
What makes the Atelier Sarkissian unique?
Vocal Cognitive Stimulation® is naturally integrated into every lesson: even when a student is working on high notes, stamina or projection, they are already practising VCS through the Balance Triangle® and the organisation of their thinking. A structured cognitive method links vocal technique, creative thought and functions such as attention, memory and metacognition, offering not only high‑level artistic training but also a practical way to reduce mental overload and restore emotional balance.
