Janneke Moes
Choral conductor, Singer & Singing Teacher
Singing is dancing with the voice.
The essence behind a voice is perceived through listening.
Listening and silence give both deepening and enrichment to the singing and to the whole of life.
The greater the inner silence, the stronger the ability to listen.

Singer and singing teacher
In the Netherlands and Finland, Janneke works as a performing artist, teacher and choral director.
Janneke’s solo repertoire ranges from classical and 20th century art songs to the passionate songs of Argentine Tango.
Composer and arranger
During her Masters studies Janneke followed composition lessons from Caroline Ansink and several courses on arranging. Janneke has grown passion for composing and arranging and made arrangements for choir of many songs and several compositions.
And much more experience
Janneke also studied singing with other great teachers such as Jürgen Schriefer, Christa Waltjen and Sinikka Mikkola.
Janneke has studied intensively with the Schule der Stimmenthüllung, also known as Werbeck, since the year 2000. This vocal method, founded by the Swedish opera singer Valborg Werbeck-Svärdström (1879-1972), aims to free the voice of blockages so that it can sound effortless, free and natural in the space. A clear and harmonious quality of sound is often the result of working with this technique.
Janneke sang in Soinninkajo Vocal Ensemble for over six years ('02-'08). With this group she gave about 200 concerts, including tours through Scandinavia, Middle-Europe and California.
