Trainer Profile

Christian Petersén is a vocal coach and singing teacher with a degree in vocal pedagogy and music education from the University of Gothenburg. Since 2001, he has been teaching at Billströmska Folk High School on Tjörn, where he works with aspiring musicians and future music educators, specializing in pop, rock, and jazz.

His journey with Estill Voice Training began in 2004, when he took his first course with Dorte Hyldstrup and Helga Westmark. Their clarity, creativity, and deep understanding of Estill’s research inspired him to continue exploring the method. They later became his mentors on the path to becoming a certified Estill Master Trainer.

Christian regularly leads introductory courses and workshops in EVT, both for other folk high schools, mixed groups and as continuing education for singing teachers. Christian is also active as a voice coach for choirs, focusing on vocal troubleshooting and improving ensemble sound.

Alongside his educational work, he also coaches several well-known professional pop and musical theatre performers, supporting their vocal development and preparing them for performance.
