Singing Lessons

​

Cambridge Voice Studio (CB1)

My main strength as a singing teacher is working with experienced students who are up and running in a choir, opera group, or other performing activities and would like to work on improving their craft, practice, and vocal freedom.  I have guided students to advanced diplomas, choral scholarships, and to scholarships at leading performing arts colleges.  That said, people come for singing lessons for many varied and wonderful reasons: Advanced level performance goals, wishing to sing more freely and confidently in a choir, or for a valued emotional release and therapy (to name but a few!).  All are entirely valid and I am passionate to help all students of all ages to get the absolute most from their singing.

In lessons I focus on building a secure vocal technique in exercises and suitable repertoire. In essence this means establishing a good posture, a free and efficient projection, and a consistency of tone across the full vocal, textual, and dynamic range.  This provides students a good foundation to explore and realise their creative and expressive goals in group singing, and/or dramatic performance. I provide piano accompaniment in the lessons as well as language coaching (D. It. Fr.), specific advice for young/developing voices, voice rehabilitation exercises, choral skills, performance coaching, and/or exam preparation. 

Students may opt to extend their lesson slot to include piano (grades 1-8), musicianship,  music theory, aural skills, and/or sight-singing. I am also a full member of the 'Association of Teachers of Singing' (www.aotos.org.uk) and hold an enhanced DBS check.
