Personal Description:

I am a professional Singing Teacher with 15 years experience. I currently offer On-Line lessons using Zoom, Skype, Face Time and WhatsApp. I work with Adults and young people of all abilities, developing their vocal tone, range, breathing, confidence and a practice regimen. I also work on elements like keeping rhythm, ability to sing in tune (intonation). Of course it depends on each student's abilities and after the first lesson we will agree a full programme of exercises, practice sessions etc. I teach all contemporary musical genres ie. Pop, RnB, Jazz and Gospel, Indie. I studied at Goldsmiths, University of London where I gained a Post Graduate Certificate in Music Teaching and I have BAST singing teaching certificates Levels 1 and 2. My teaching approach is entirely student centred - I always ensure that my student's goals are foremost in my lesson planning and delivery. In addition to my singing teaching, I am Musical Director for two Adult Community Choirs. My own singing experience is with Jazz/Pop groups, Gospel Choirs and Jazz Choirs and have performed at many of London's major event venues as a solo artist and with groups.

Tutoring Experience:

I have been teaching singing and music for 15 years. I teach all contemporary musical genres working with people form the age of 14 upwards, teaching privately and also in small groups and I have experience of leading choirs. I also have experience working with young people with various special needs, using music as a medium for self expression and creative outlet. I work with community groups running singing, improvisation and performing workshops and sessions.

Tutoring Approach:

I always conduct a full vocal assessment at the first lesson and find out whether a student wishes to pursue singing in a professional capacity, for their own personal development, as a hobby or maybe for a specific event eg. singing at a wedding etc. My lessons are structured to develop techniques to address: Posture, breathing & support, phonation, resonance, articulation and artistry and performance (if relevant). I also teach the Rockschool Graded Singing syllabus up to grade 4.
