Summer Singing on the Black Sea
Villa Musica – A week to sing,
learn & unwind
Want to spend a week making music somewhere completely different? At the Villa Musica Summer Academy, focused vocal coaching meets the easy rhythm of a summer holiday.
Work on songs you love, explore new styles and sing both solo and with the group – then head to the pool or the beach.
Come on your own or with someone you know. With just 4–8 participants, it’s easy to get to know each other and make music together.
Make more of your voice
In a creative, relaxed atmosphere, you’ll work on:
- Your own voice and musicality
- Breathing and vocal technique
- Ensemble singing and stage presence
The coaching is practical, personal and tailored to your level. You’ll work individually and in small groups, with live accompaniment on the grand piano or playback. No formal training is needed: beginners, choir singers and band members are all welcome.
Who is this for?
This week is for you if you:
- Want focused time to develop your voice
- Enjoy learning without competition or pressure
- Like the idea of music, sunshine and a small group
- Want to try something new on your summer break
We usually work with 4–8 participants. This leaves plenty of time for individual coaching and the music that personally interests you.

Teaching rooms
The heart of our villa is the large teaching room with a sea view. It also offers plenty of space for larger groups.
Our own jazz club, with its dedicated lighting and sound system, creates a genuine live-music atmosphere.
Catering
Our villa has a shared kitchen. We provide a selection of food from which everyone can prepare their own breakfast, snacks or a simple meal, including bread, various cheeses, cold cuts, fresh local vegetables, milk, eggs and muesli.
Water, tea and coffee are also provided. Beer and wine can be purchased on site.
Everyone prepares food according to their own taste, and people often end up sitting around the table together in a relaxed way.
Restaurants and supermarkets are about a 15-minute walk away.
