Bio
I have always been passionate about singing and the thrill of live performance and have experience as a working professional classical singer, musical theatre and comedy performer and session singer in the West End, radio, television and online broadcast. I have been working as a singing teacher/vocal coach for over a decade and believe that lessons should be focused but enjoyable, with an ongoing view to the student’s developing goals. As well as private teaching, I have taught Voice in Performance at Oxford Brookes since 2015 and have been a 1:1 singing teacher/voice coach specialising in Musical Theatre at London College of Music since 2016. I teach all ages from 10 years up and students range from beginners wanting to find their voice to music students and professionals working for exams, auditions and performance.
Teaching Info
Online lessons are an hour long, with a free introductory meet up on Zoom ahead of the lesson date to ensure everything is just right for the first lesson. The focus of my teaching is on a solid classical technique achieved through regular warm-up exercises which build breath control and focus of sound whilst simultaneously developing an awareness of posture and good vocal health. Pieces are worked on first in terms of breath and structure, from working sound into the voice, to word and breath learning and thence to building a performance. Although the technique is classical, I also specialise in musical theatre and pop as well as classical voice training. As well as singing for fun, I have experience preparing students for Musical Theatre (LCM) and Classical (ABRSM) exams, university assessments and professional auditions.
