Have you always wanted to learn to sing, but just not had the courage to make that step? Learning to sing is a fun and uplifting experience!

 

The first lesson is designed to assess your abilities. Sing a prepared song of your choice, and we will then discuss your goals, and build a plan for your lessons. It is not an audition and you will not be judged on your abilities, it is just a guide in planning suitable training for you. A personalised vocal assessment of your voice is designed to know exactly what is happening physically when you sing and why, explained clearly and taking into account the age and experience level of the student.

 

Beginning with a vocal warm up, we will explore techniques such as breathing, pitch, tone, dynamics and range, then move on to start work on the song of your choice. I offer microphone technique to students wishing to gain confidence, and performance technique with the use of mirrors in my studio. Preparation for auditions, choosing the right song, how to combat nerves - everything you need to know to help you to have a successful experience.

 

Continuing lessons will be very similar in structure to your first lesson, but as you make progress the vocal exercises will adapt to suit your new found skill. As you gain more confidence we'll be able to work on more challenging songs and constantly aim to refine your voice.
