My approach
Everybody's sound is unique and I enjoy working with people to draw out that special quality in their sound. In my tailored one-to-one sessions, I guide each student through the vocal technique necessary to free their singing and develop that unique voice, whether as a beginner or a seasoned pro. Adults and Children Welcome.
Vocal Technique
for great vocal health
and freedom
With a focus on vocal health and performance, I tutor students at any level in how singing works, focusing on a variety of vocal qualities, breathing techniques, body awareness and vocal exercises to develop singing potential.
Children and Teenagers
Half my students are children and teenagers who come for 30 minute lessons once a week during term time. We explore their voices through music they have an affinity for, and I guide them where necessary through natural, age-related changes in the voice. Young children can thrive simply singing in a group but a keen young singer may have a wish to do more individual work with a teacher and can create great foundational habits for life through one to one training while really enjoying the process. I am careful to make lessons fun and not create too much pressure.
Overcoming
Performance Anxiety
I’ve had students who have been too frightened to open their mouths and sing even for the first few lessons for fear of being shamed for their singing but who have gone on to build careers in music. Whether you are terrified of the idea of singing, suffer from stage fright, or you’re just not very confident, I can help you put fear in its place leaving you free to be yourself and enjoy your singing.
