ABOUT ME
'Singing connects the mind with the heartand the heart with the soul.'
As a professional singer, I am passionate about sharing what I have learned and helping others discover their own voices. I offer bespoke singing lessons that cover a variety of styles, including pop, rock, musical theatre, jazz, and classical. With a focus on vocal health, I can help you develop techniques that will improve your voice and prevent strain. I studied a PG Cert Dip in 2017 and have since engaged in further CPD training, including becoming a certified vocal health first aider. If you're looking to improve your singing skills, let's work together to help you achieve your goals.
I am a Vocal Health First Aider
I am very excited to have passed this carefully developed Vocal Health First Aid. This is a fantastic award aimed at vocal professionals and providing an in-depth education on vocal health. The certification allows me to be the first port of call for any voice user with a problem. The VHFA is trained to guide the voice user in self-help or to refer to a specialist if required.
I just wanted to say thank you. The lessons I have with you give me a real lift and raise my confidence in my ability to sing. Your enthusiasm is infectious and your skill in choosing songs that suit my style of singing makes our sessions really enjoyable and beneficial. Looking forward to our next session.
