“Your unique singing voice is part of you and who you are, it’s how you express yourself, communicate and connect. Your voice is an instrument that is affected by your moods and emotions, mind, body and soul – singing is indeed a whole body experience!“
“It’s the tiny things you don’t necessarily or initially notice in a great vocal performance which puts shivers up your spine. My job is to make sure that the singers who come to me have the chance to develop the techniques they need, the confidence to use them and a greater understanding of how to use their skills and emotions in order to get the very best vocal performances they can deliver.”
Your Personal Vocal Programme
No matter what you want to achieve or where you are starting from, beginner, intermediate to professional level, I will build a personal programme for you designed to your own level and experience and set around what you want to achieve.
You will be fully supported through your journey. All the exercises I will give you are original and unique to the programme – you won’t find them anywhere else!
The Lessons
The hour long lessons will be in 6- week blocks – these can be weekly, every other week or once a month but must booked in advance.
The lessons will be take place in my studio in person with an option to have some one or two catch up sessions online.
The one to one sessions are designed for adults – from 17 upwards – no matter how old you are!
As a new student, the first session is a stand-alone lesson where I can assess your voice, needs and aspirations and we can get to know each other. At the end of that lesson you can decide if you want to go ahead and sign up for your 6-week personal programme.
There is no limit to the number of lessons you can have – I’ve had pupils come to me for a very long time, the longest one stayed with me for 20 years through his retirement.
