Emily

Hello! I'm Emily and I'm a classically trained soprano. I hold a Master's degree with Distinction from the Royal College of Music. Previously to this, I graduated from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland with a BMus(Hons) in Vocal Performance of the First Class. I am a passionate performer and advocator for classical music and the performing arts, with a strong love for teaching and nurturing those interested in music.

Tutoring Experience

I have been teaching as a private singing tutor for the past 6 years, with both beginners and intermediate learners. I have tutored students through graded examinations, both ABRSM and Trinity Laban syllabus', as well as students who wish to sing simply for fun!

Before my Master's training, I worked as the vocal tutor for 'East Glasgow Music School', working with children ranging from Reception through to Sixth Form level. I taught small group voice lessons and also conduct and lead both the Junior and Senior Choirs.

I offer vocal training from a classical background, however I have also tutored students in musical theatre, folk singing, pop and jazz. I primarily teach singing, but I also offer beginning piano lessons and tutoring in musical theory and aural training.

I am now based back in Glasgow and I'm excited about building my teaching studio here again!

Tutoring Approach

I believe in teaching in an active and diverse way. I believe any child or adult has musical potential, they simply needed the right support and nurturing.
I am a classically trained soprano, and believe in the importance of body work, breathing exercises and vocal technique in order to achieve the greatest result.
I tailor my lessons to the pupils specific needs, incorporating techniques such as; multi-sensory learning, Alexander Technique, Kodály and breathing and stretching exercises in order to assist the students vocal development. I believe singing should be freeing and fun, and therefore my techniques encompass this.
