My Mission

All Genres and Styles Covered

I have being performing and teaching singing now for many years. In this time I have covered and studied a wide range of genres. This means that no matter what style of music you enjoy, the lessons will be tailored to suit your individual style and needs. Whether you have never sang before or have been singing for years, any student is welcome to take lessons with me.

One of my main teaching methods is to have a strong focus on healthy singing as this is something that is so crucial when learning how to sing. If a guitarist breaks a string he can just restring it and it's good as new, however if we damage our voice this can be more serious and can take a lot longer to make a full recovery. As such I will always ensure that you are learning good habits and good singing routines.

My Lessons

Find Your Singing Voice

When learning to sing we all look for slightly different things as our voices are so unique to ourselves. As a result, it's important to find your own voice and sound in a way that suits you. This means singing the songs you like, by the artists that you like. I am a confident singer in a wide range of different styles, so no matter what you're in to or what you listen to these lessons are tailored to your exact needs.

As a singing teacher it is my goal to share my passion for singing with my students and to provide you with all the skills and knowledge you would need to be able to sing your favorite songs by your favorite artists. I take great pride in being a integral part in your musical journey of learning how to sing and I am here to help and support you in any way that I can. Singing is something I truly believe that any one can do with the right training and guidance.

Prices:


£35 per hour

Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.

My Experience as a Teacher

After graduating from Leeds Conservatoire and many years of experience, I am now offering singing lessons to people who are passionate in singing. My lessons are suitable for people of any age and level (advanced and beginners). I specialise in Pop, Rnb / Soul music but I am willing to explore any other styles of music that my students may desire.

I am a professional singer-songwriter and performer based in Leeds but originally from Cyprus. I have a lot of experience at gigging as i have participated at many concerts and musicals while growing up. Eventually during my three years of studying at the Concervatoire I had the opportunity to collaborate with many talented musicians and thrive my skills and creativity into the next level.

After months of hard work and consistency, I have finally released my debut single “Honest” which is a Pop/Soul Ballad influenced by artists such as Yebba Smith, John Mayer, Labrinth etc. Subsequently, I would love to share my experience with my students because creating is such a “sincere” and alive process. I am currently doing several Function Gigs with Kudos Band which is an international private party band and working on different exciting projects as well.

Lessons Focus

Learn How to Sing Healthy

Learn new exercises and techniques to maintain a healthy singing voice all the time.

More About My Lessons

At every lesson, we will be exploring some vocal techniques that will improve your airflow, vocal control and vocal health as well as tone and musicality. In addition, we will emphasise on your performance, stage presence and confidence. Aiming to create an inspiring and relaxing environment, I am interested to see my student’s originality and authenticity, giving them the freedom to express themselves in any way!

I am happy to teach singing to all ability levels and will always do my best to adapt my teaching style to suit your needs as an individual. I want to know what you want to get out of the lessons so we can ensure that every step we take gets you one step closer to that goal. This will mainly be achieved by us learning and studying your favorite songs by your favorite artists.

As I compose and perform some of my own original music too, I like to offer insight in to musical theory and into songwriting and composition. Overall, I take great pride in offering well rounded lessons that not only help you improve as a singer but as a general musician too. Understanding music theory will help you work and perform alongside other musicians in real world situations.

Genevieve Begley

Hello! My name is Genevieve Begley. I have been performing and teaching singing now for many years. In this time I have covered and studied a wide range of genres. This means that no matter what style of music you enjoy, the lessons will be tailored to suit your individual style and needs.

A huge part of my teaching method is to ensure good habits and developing solid technique early on to make sure no damage is made to the vocal cords in the long term! We all want to be able to sing for a long time, a guitar can be restrung, but our voices are different! Healthy practice is key.

As your teacher, my ultimate goal is to share my own passion for singing with you and to help you on your journey to being the best singer you can be! Whether this be to learn to sing from the beginning, or to perfect that karaoke/shower singing voice or to take it all the way and learn to sing on a professional level, I am excited to play a part in your journey.

Having studied musical academically I have now graduated from Leeds College of Music specializing in Jazz vocals. Here I studied under Lauren Kinsella from Snowpoet. Here I learnt so much about how to sing with better technique and these are the skills I now want to pass on to my students.

As well as performing Jazz, I also compose and perform original music in a function band which covers a wide range of styles and genres. I have performed around Leeds at venues such as the Belgrave Music Hall, Seven Arts, Headrow House and the Jazz Leeds Festival in 2018 and 2019.

Over the years I have been fortunate enough to perform at some really cool shows including the BBC Proms in 2012, Disneyland Paris and Notre Dame Cathedral. As well as performing as the headline act, I have supported artists including the Henry Lowther Quintet, Benn Clatworthy and Ruby Rushton.

You can contact me on [email protected] if you have any questions or are interested in booking your first singing lesson with me.
