Her approach to lessons is fun, relaxed and positive, helping you to feel real improvement through combining the freedom of exploring your vocal tone with strong core technical knowledge.

We initially booked singing lessons with Hayley to help my daughter with the echo part of her Grade 2 music exam as she was struggling to “find” her voice. Hayley has been wonderful in releasing that shyness and giving her the confidence not only to sing but to sing out and be proud! As a result, my daughter has been selected for singing a descant part at school, something she wouldn’t have achieved previously and went to her music exam without any fear. She has loved her singing lessons with Hayley so much, she now wants to pursue singing as her second instrument.
Thank you very much for being such a kind a lovely teacher for Aurora, she loves your classes and she is going to miss you so much!
Hayley has been teaching my 5 year old to sing for around 12 months. Her lessons are always fun, engaging and accessible. Hayley knows just how to pitch the learning to get the most out of my daughter and she always chooses songs that she can enjoy learning. Hayley is an excellent teacher who I would thoroughly recommend’. From Maggie – ‘Hayley is the best’.
Hayley’s lessons are just great, I always look forward to them and leave with a spring in my step. They are really professional but at the same time so much fun.
I just wanted to explore how to sing a little, having never done any in my life. At the age of 64 it turns out I can actually sing, all thanks to Hayley. She is really knowledgeable and more importantly has a way to communicate the techniques required to find or improve your voice at your own pace.
