My Experience as a Teacher

I'm an enthusiastic voice teacher, coach, and choir director. My passion for voice began when I started singing in the secondary school choir, wanting to know why and how we make the sounds that we do. Years down the line, I studied Voice Studies & Performing Arts programme at The University of Winchester. I'm now one of the first singing teachers to have first aid in vocal health, being able to offer assessments for those displaying voice problems/dysfunctions.

I have always studied the arts, studying my A-Levels/BTECS in Musical Theatre and in Music with Distinctions and Merits across the board. As well as singing, I also play the trumpet and piano.

I have also worked professionally as a performer, singing in various venues across the county – these titles include; Winchester Cathedral, Leeds Cathedral, Birmingham Conservatoire, Bamberg, Berlin and performing in front of 25,000 people on the main stage arena at the biggest vintage Jazz Festival ‘Twinwoods’ in Bedfordshire in 2017.

About My Lessons

I'm a down to earth teacher & I like to make sure my lessons reflect that. I want my students to feel both comfortable and at ease whilst learning & I will always make a lesson plan that suits your ability level and interests. I have a wealth of performing experience that I will always use to make sure you improve everything from understanding to confidence levels.

I've now been working with singers and speakers over the last three years, bringing people a real sense of confidence, achievement, and helping to build voices so that singing can feel free and easy.

I like to make sure my students learn a wide range of genres and styles including the music that they love to listen to in their spare time. I believe that this is one of the best ways to keep lessons both exciting and rewarding.
