I work exclusively with adults and have recently found most joy in helping self-classified 'non-singers' discover their natural voice and build confidence in their expression, music-making and performing. It's amazing how the confidence built in lessons ends up carrying over to other places in my students' lives!
Singing lessons will focus on you exploring and learning to understand how your voice works, in a fun and stress-free way, as well as working on posture, musicality and making sure you're feeling comfortable.
I want to ensure that you always leave a lesson with a stronger sense of self-belief, a greater understanding of your instrument and knowledge about how you can perform with confidence in the way best suited to you as an individual.
Lessons take place during the day either on zoom/FaceTime or from my home in Purley.
I can recommend my teacher Vicki as ‘Excellent’. To begin with the lessons are fun and I feel my voice is beginning to follow the guidelines. We begin with breathing or tonal work before tackling the latest chosen song and working on the meanings and nuances of the piece. The hour passes too quickly!
It’s never too late to learn. I have gained a lot of singing confidence and can now hit higher notes. Vicki makes it fun too. Oh and by the way I’m 70!!
I’d always thought one-to-one singing would be far too exposing for me, but Vicki put me completely at ease and brought out the best in me. She helped me understand that singing is about so much more than always hitting exactly the right note! I’ve gained confidence whilst having a lot of fun.
It's usually helpful to discuss beforehand what specifically you'd like to get from voice lessons, so we can really tailor the experience to you. If you'd like to arrange a free 30 minute phone chat before we dive in, please contact me.
