TEACHING
One to one singing lessons and vocal coaching.
I always enjoyed having singing lessons and learning how to make singing easier and my voice stronger, big thanks to all my teachers for building the love of vocal technique in me! And special thanks to Katie Hector & Marie McNally who truly saw me as a singer and a teacher xxxxxxx
I was often the singer encouraging band mates to warm up before performances & drink plenty of water - fun to be around I’m sure!
In 2014 I took Line Hilton’s BAST: Be A Singer Teacher course and started working at Theatre Stars, best decision I ever made!
At the heart of my teaching is the desire to make singing accessible, comfortable and heart-fillingly joyful.
I aim to greet each singer with empathy: I have been through the tough voice days, felt frustrated and lacking in confidence.
Developing our voice is often challenging but singing with freedom and true self expression is the best feeling in the world, let’s tackle the vocal challenges as a team.
I would describe myself as a cheerleader for the voice: no judgement, 100% encouragement, knowledge building and laughter as we spit all over the keyboard whilst learning to lip bubble.
If you have a singing desire, aspiration or goal, I will help you towards it with much cheering and many smiles along the way.
