About vocal lessons in Dubai

How to get there

Easiest by car. Parking is public and paid, free on Sundays.

How the first lesson goes

The first lesson is the same as all the others: one to one, personally with Mikhail, 60 minutes. You get acquainted, talk about your goals and work with your voice: Mikhail hears it and understands where to begin. There is no trial lesson.

After the first lesson a programme is built around your goal, with no generic templates and no groups. The method is Mikhail’s own, with elements of the European CVT system, in which it is clear how and why every sound is made. The lessons are designed for adults.

Who it is for
  • You live in Dubai and want to study singing in Russian with a coach who works with Russian artists.
  • You are preparing for a performance, a competition or a recording and want to make clear progress in a few sessions.
  • You study online and want to consolidate the result in person during a visit.
Format, price and payment

Individual lesson, 60 minutes: from 1,000 AED. You can pay in any currency: dirhams (AED), euros, dollars or roubles. Intensives and masterclasses are held on specific dates, and the price is given when you book.

Between visits the lessons continue online with the same method.

The CVT method

Complete Vocal Technique is a European system of vocal training created by Cathrine Sadolin (Complete Vocal Institute, Copenhagen). Every sound in it is explained through clear technical steps rather than images, so the student understands exactly what they are doing and can repeat the result without a teacher.

Why Kasymov Lab
  • Every lesson is taught personally by Mikhail Kasymov: vocal coach of Black Star artists, of the TNT show “Pesni” and of Igor Matvienko’s academy.
  • Mikhail’s own method with elements of CVT: a clear European system in which it is obvious how and why every sound is made.
  • Only individual lessons and a plan built around your goal, no groups.

A musician since childhood

Mikhail has been in music since childhood. He graduated with honours from the P. Ya. Kovalevsky Children’s Music School in piano and solo singing. He then studied at the Omsk Music and Pedagogical College and later studied pop and jazz vocals at the Moscow Institute of Contemporary Art, and in 2013 earned the qualification “Concert Singer, Ensemble Soloist, Teacher”, with top marks in his exams and thesis. After graduating, he worked as an assistant to an associate professor in the institute’s Department of Pop and Jazz Singing. He is a prize-winner of regional and international competitions for pianists and performers, and a multiple winner of Moscow competitions among laureates.

Method

Mikhail teaches Complete Vocal Technique (CVT), a European method, and was among the first in Russia to study and adapt it. Its main strength is clarity: the student understands how and why every sound is made. The son of a doctor, he regularly assesses voices together with ENT specialists and phoniatrists. He has studied Emelyanov’s phonopedic method, phoniatrics and the works of Husson and Dmitriev. His article “The Neutral Way of Singing” is based on his graduation thesis.
