Bio

As well as professional experience as a singer I have a PhD, Masters & LTCL in Music and have been working as a singing teacher/vocal coach for over a decade. I believe that lessons should be focused but fun with an ongoing view to the student’s developing goals.  As well as private teaching, I have taught for 9 years on the Voice in Performance BA  at Oxford Brookes and 8 years as 1:1 singing /voice coach specialising in Musical Theatre at London College of Music.  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.  I have always been passionate about singing and have experience as a professional solo classical concert singer, musical theatre and comedy performer and session singer in the West End, radio and television.

Teaching Info

I offer both in person and online lessons.  Lessons are an hour long, with a free introductory meet up on Zoom ahead of online lessons to ensure everything is just right for the first session.  The focus of my teaching is on a solid 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.  The technique builds on a classical understanding of the voice which can be tailored/broadened for contemporary technique. 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.
