Bio

I’m a professional singer and vocal coach with over 10 years of teaching experience, working with students of all levels — from complete beginners to advanced performers and professionals.

Alongside my teaching, I hold a PhD, Master’s degree and LTCL in Music, and have taught on the Voice in Performance BA at Oxford Brookes University, as well as specialising in Musical Theatre at London College of Music.

My own performance background includes classical concert singing, musical theatre, comedy, and session work across the West End, radio, and television.

I aim to create lessons that are focused, supportive and enjoyable — helping each student build confidence while working towards their individual goals.

Teaching Info

Free introductory Zoom session available for online students

I offer one-to-one singing lessons both in person and online, each tailored to your voice, experience level, and goals.

Lessons focus on building a strong, healthy vocal technique through:

  • Breath control and vocal support
  • Posture and vocal health
  • Developing tone, clarity, and range
  • Interpreting and performing songs with confidence

We’ll work step-by-step — from technical foundations through to shaping songs and performance.

My teaching is grounded in classical technique, which can then be adapted for musical theatre, pop, and contemporary styles.

I work with:

  • Beginners looking to find their voice
  • Students preparing for exams (ABRSM, LCM, BA)
  • Musical theatre performers
  • University-level singers
  • Professionals preparing for auditions or performance work

Lessons are typically one hour, and for online students I offer a free introductory Zoom session so we can meet and make sure everything is set up comfortably.

If you’re looking to develop your voice in a structured but relaxed environment, feel free to get in touch — I’d be happy to chat about what you’re looking for.

“I hadn’t sung for 42 years when I first went to see Lesley to take up singing again. She is a brilliant and understanding teacher, and singing again has been so enjoyable and good for the soul! “ Mark Pougatch, ITV Chief Sports presenter

“I started with a short set of lessons with Lesley, not really certain if singing lessons was the right thing for me but now nearly 4 years later I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions that I’ve made.  I thoroughly enjoy my lessons with Lesley and look forward to each one.  She has an uncanny knack of not only making the lessons hugely enjoyable and uplifting (you always leave with a buzz) but always seems to have the right piece of advice to help you improve.  She has vast experience of both teaching and performing but is incredibly modest.   I have gone from being an enthusiastic untrained singer to someone who enjoys having a go at pieces from the classical repertoire.  Thanks to Lesley’s training, my confidence in my voice for singing in public has grown enormously.  Whilst I am probably one of her more “mature” students, she also taught my daughter so I know that she is equally good with children and other styles of singing.  I recommend her very highly!”
- Martyn Knowles
"Lesley is one of the most talented teachers I have ever met - not just in comparison with other people in music but in comparison with teachers generally. She thinks all the time about what the next step should be, adapts her style and material for each individual, and is always positive and encouraging whilst also working all the time to enable progress and instill self-discipline. Lessons with Lesley are fun, and she has a wide knowledge of music and the performing arts generally, on which she draws to discover new teaching techniques and fresh stories to motivate and entertain. Lesley is always diagnosing what learning stage her students are at and working out the 'just right' next step for us. Lesley is herself an extremely gifted musician. Yet she has that rare quality, so essential in a teacher, of taking a genuine and freely expressed delight in the achievement of her students. Anyone who has Lesley as a teacher is lucky indeed."
- Alison Hardingham, MA Oxon, C Psychol, Visiting Executive Professor, Henley Business School. Director, Yellow Dog Consulting.
"I look forward to my weekly vocal lessons with Lesley; she is very professional, fun and very precise with her training. I found that after just a few lessons my vocal range had improved greatly. Her weekly advice and tips are spot on and I always look forward to our next lesson. I greatly recommend Lesley."
- Jason Anthoney Wright
