I'm passionate about helping students grow in both confidence and vocal ability. My aim is to give each singer their own ‘toolbox’ of practical techniques they can use across any style, with a focus on Musical Theatre and Classical.

Whether your child dreams of performing on the West End, studying music at college, or simply wants to build confidence, singing lessons are a great place to start. I work with students of all levels from beginners to professionals, helping them understand their voice (including the anatomy behind it), find their unique sound, and connect deeply with the emotion and story in every song.​

I love seeing children enjoy music, and singing is a wonderful way to express themselves. But formal one-to-one singing lessons work best when a child is ready both physically and mentally, and for most children, that’s around age 10/11 or school Yrs 6/7.

​

Here’s why:​

• It protects their enjoyment. If lessons start too early, children can tire of them or feel frustrated by techniques they’re not yet ready for.

• It sets them up for success. Starting at Grade 1 around 10/11 means they can naturally progress to Grade 8 by 18, ready for auditions, exams, or advanced training.

• Songs often tell grown-up stories. By the age of 10 or 11, children can better understand and connect with the meaning behind the song and show.

• Focus and practice skills improve with age. Older learners can handle regular practice and feedback more easily.

• It builds emotional maturity for performance. Handling stage nerves, feedback, and complex characters comes more easily with age.

• Their voices are still growing. Before 10/11, the voice is small and delicate, and advanced techniques can strain it or cause habits that are hard to change.

• They need a bit more breath and stamina. Older children can control their breathing better and produce a richer, healthier sound.

That doesn’t mean younger children should stop singing! Choirs, school performances, and fun music activities are fantastic at this stage. Starting piano lessons is also a brilliant way to begin their musical education, it develops rhythm, pitch, and reading music skills that make singing lessons much more rewarding later on.

By the time they turn 10 or 11 (Yr 6/7), they’ll have the skills, confidence, and maturity to get the very best out of their lessons and to enjoy every moment.

Workshops

I specialise in workshops, and know how to reach my students with the right balance of personalised attention, patience, practical training, and positive encouragement. I make learning fun through a variety of engaging and outside-the-box activities.

​

I will share my knowledge and enthusiasm and be sure to uplift your ensemble to new levels.

The workshops are custom designed for each ensemble and are taught at a pace tailored to the singers or requirements.  Your ensemble can be taught about different singing techniques within musical styles, harmonies, blend, breathing techniques, team work, and performance. 

​

I can also help to perfect songs your ensemble already knows in preparation for competitions, festivals or performances.

​

Prices are dependent on travel and length of workshop.
