World-Class Opera Training with Distinguished Soprano, Honorary Professor Maija Kovalevska – Internationally renowned Opera singer with over 20 years gracing the world’s most prestigious opera stages.

Maija is an amazing teacher. As simple as that! What makes her amazing? Firstly, she is a great signer. Not good, great, so she knows what she is singing about. Secondly, and more rarely, she is able to clearly articulate how to improve, and tailor excercises and lessons to my specific situation, challenges and areas of improvement. Thirdly, she is patient and intuitive. She pushes hard enough for our sessions to feel challenging without being over the top. If you want to feel like you are learning from one of the best, I highly recommend Maija :)

Maija is a fantastic teacher with extensive knowledge of the voice and singing techniques. With her knowledge and wealth of experience as a professional singer, Maija has helped me develop a confident solo voice with technical proficiency that I am proud of and has led me to sing with numerous leading small vocal ensembles in Sydney.

Maija is an exceptional vocal coach with deep operatic training who creates a safe, supportive environment for growth. She has an incredible ear for technique and helps me access parts of my voice I didn’t know were possible. Her expertise in opera translates beautifully to contemporary styles - she’s helping me develop my original opera-jazz fusion sound. Beyond technique, she brings genuine encouragement and professionalism. I’m a working musician with 15 years of performing experience, and Maija has elevated my voice in ways I didn’t expect. Highly recommend her to anyone serious about vocal development.

Highly recommended. I saw Maija open up my voice, and I can clearly hear the difference in the recordings — before and after her suggestions. She is not only a great tutor, but also a kind and open person. Her great success in leading roles on the world’s most important opera stages has not spoiled her personality at all.

I was possibly Maija's first student when she was still studying at Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Academy of Music. I've sung in various choirs in Latvia my whole life, but with Maija's lessons, I discovered I could sing solo too. She was incredibly patient, adapted to my pace, and handled my psychological barriers with great empathy. Our sessions were dynamic—she's highly creative and loves experimenting. Thanks to her guidance, I passed my final exam with flying colors, despite my nerves. Maija's experience on the world's biggest opera stages is a true treasure, and she shares it generously. Love you, Maija!
