Meet-and-greet and book signing with Star Academy singing teacher Sofia Morgavi

Come and meet the Star Academy singing teacher when she visits Fnac Rochefort and have your copy of her new book, *Eh bien, chantez maintenant* (published by Éditions de l’Observatoire), signed.

From Toulon to Paris, from the conservatoire to the sets of Star Academy, Sofia Morgavi has forged her path with passion and determination. A teacher adored by her pupils, an opera singer and an actress, at the age of 58 she has become the warm yet demanding figure that millions of viewers discover every week.

Her book *Well, Sing Now: Memories and Methods from the Star Academy Singing Teacher*: In this three-part book, Sofia first shares her delightful memories: a Mediterranean childhood spent between the hairdresser’s and the conservatoire, her years of struggle and triumph, and her pivotal encounters punctuated by liberating moments of “There you go!”. Then she shares her unique method, honed over thirty-five years of teaching: 27 lessons accessible to all – from “Why I sing” to the secret of the twang, via the art of “chialer” whilst singing. Finally, she takes us behind the scenes at Star Academy, that legendary castle where she transforms contestants into artists.

Whether you dream of opera or prefer to hum under the pine trees, Sofia takes you by the hand with her positive teaching style and unforgettable imagery: “Open your throat like a blackbird in spring”, “Put some juice in the engine”, “Be your Mona Lisa”…
