A Quote by Floor Jansen

I've studied classical singing, but not to a great extent. — © Floor Jansen
I've studied classical singing, but not to a great extent.
I studied classical opera, so I was always singing in Italian and German and French.
I started singing when I was five. I grew up the youngest of four kids who all studied classical piano, so you could say I've been listening to music ever since the moment of conception.
In fact although I have studied in a Conservatory the classical piano, I do not consider myself a classical pianist.
When I do operas, I'm not really singing very classically. I have a classical background as far as being a pianist and an oboist, but my voice isn't really classical in the operatic sense. But I certainly have a classical sensibility, so I'm comfortable being in that world.
Oh, stuff the critics. I don't care. Too many people are snooty about classical. Look, I wasn't brought up in a home where we listened to classical music. It was a singing teacher that thought it would be best for my voice. Then I moved into crossover. And if that makes the music accessible to more people, then great.
In Bonn, where I studied for a year, I changed from classical to Romance philology, taught there by its great founder, F. Diez, and at the beginning of 1852, I received the doctorate for a dissertation on the refrain in Provencal poetry.
I keep myself open to singing in different genres like classical dance songs, light classical folk, etc. There's so much to learn and I'm glad I'm on the right path.
Frank Sinatra said this great thing, that singing isn't about singing in tune, or great technical singing. It's about making people believe in the story you're telling.
I studied classical music in the Conservatory of Paris.
I studied classical music in high school.
I studied classical percussion for ten years.
I have a classical music background. I studied violin and trumpet.
I actually studied Indian classical vocal music.
I play piano and trumpet. I studied classical guitar.
I studied cinema at the university so I had a very classical approach to it. I studied all those silent films, and then the films from the 1940's, the Nouvelle Vague, the late Hollywood films. Now I realize, as a young actor, that it's one of my duties to actually be aware of what is today's industry and today's next big directors.
To me, singing is basically a form of prayer. I get this great joy when I`m singing - whatever I`m singing. I missed it when I left it.
