The MAE Academy offers various workshops and masterclasses for both the hobbyist and the aspiring musical performer.
Our workshops consist of short, self-contained programs on a specific topic. The masterclasses are longer trajectories in which the participants will work closely together with experienced professionals in the field with the aim of making great strides in their development.
WORKSHOPS
AUDITION PREP
teacher: Melissa Zijsling - van der Horst
​
In this short, but instructive workshop the focus is on audition preparation, in which the following themes will be discussed:
CV and profile pictures
Present yourself and make an impression
Learning audition material
Record audition videos
These points and more will be explained in an interactive workshop, in a safe and relaxed environment. Participants receive an explanation of the above points, but are also asked to bring an audition piece (song or monologue) to work on individually.

SONG INTERPRETATION
teacher: Melissa Zijsling - van der Horst
​
Individual coaching takes an audition piece to a higher level. Being able to sing a song well technically is fantastic, but being able to tell the story and convey a feeling is what will ultimately set a performer apart from the rest.
​
In this individual lesson, the necessary tools are provided to understand a piece well and participants learn to make technical choices that will take their piece to a higher level.

Together with 3 experienced professionals, participants will work on 6 intensive lessons, each of 3 hours, with the following disciplines:
​ audition training
scene work
song interpretation
choral singing
At the end of the masterclass, the participants will be able to directly apply their learned skills through a performance (showcase) in the theater. Ticket sales for the showcase are open to the public.
​
In order to make maximum use of the lessons, a lot is expected of the participants not only in terms of commitment, but also in terms of preparation.
​
Because personal attention is of great importance, this masterclass has a very limited number of places.
