Personal Description:

If you choose to the lessons with me and you pay the charge from First Tutors I will give you a 30 minute session free of charge!

I offer vocal tuition in popular music and musical theatre, with a focus on building confidence for performance or leisure. For the past 15 years I have worked with a range of pupils from beginner to professional, both privately and in schools. My lessons provide a relaxed atmosphere where students are able to develop their 'sound' at their own pace and with music that they love!

Over the past few years, I have been studying the vocal pedagogy of Jo Estill, having completed the Advanced course in the Estill Voice Method at The Royal College Of Music in London. Learning this model has enabled my students to extend their vocal capabilities through knowledge of the physiology of the voice. As a classically trained musician, graduating with a degree in Music from Cardiff University, I can also offer pupils a solid foundation in theory and technique. I also hold a first class Masters degree in Music from Bath Spa University in songwriting so I can offer tuition in songwriting alongside if required.

When I am not teaching I also work as a songwriter/producer, collaborating with artists in the current music scene including Johnny Stimson, Darla Jade, SOFY and Ivor Novello Award Winning Artist, Mysie. My music is published with Bucks Music Group and I was recently awarded the PRS and Spotify hitmaker fund. I like to keep up to date with the current vocal trends, incorporating them into my teaching and helping my students find their own unique voice. 

Tutoring Experience:

For the past 15 years I have worked with a range of pupils from beginner to professional, both privately and in schools. My lessons provide a relaxed atmosphere where students are able to develop their 'sound' at their own pace and with music that they love! I also provide singing tuition and weekly music workshops for students with special needs. I work in South Somerset and provide lessons both in schools and at home.

I hold an enhanced DBS check and I am fully insured.

Tutoring Approach:

I feel it is very important that singing is kept enjoyable and you learn songs that you love! This is why you will have a great deal of input on what you want to learn during lessons. This will mean you will start to take creative decisions on how you want to sound and your individual voice. Lessons will be focused on developing your own sound and finding your voice!
