Brain-Based Voice Teaching

I’m Milla Mäkinen, singer, voice teacher, and yoga teacher based in Helsinki. I help singers build a technique that is efficient, sustainable, and enjoyable.

My approach is built on functional neuroscience and a framework that I call Motor Preferences in Singing. Every nervous system is unique, and the way your body naturally wants to move, balance, and activate is not a flaw to correct. It’s a blueprint to build on.

Most vocal training follows a one-size-fits-all model. When instructions don’t match your individual motor preferences, your muscles develop through compensation instead of coordination. Progress stalls, and singing gets harder than it needs to be.

Once I discovered functional neuroscience methods, originally developed for athletes and rehabilitation, everything changed for my own singing and for my students.

What I Offer

If you want to understand why your practice isn't translating into results, or simply want to sing better and enjoy it more, I'd love to work with you.
