About me
Hello! I’m a professional vocalist, songwriter and music educator with a BMUS in Vocals and an MA in Songwriting and Production. I have been teaching private vocal lessons since January 2024, working with both children and adults, from complete beginners to more advanced singers.

I’m passionate about helping students not only improve their singing, but also become more confident, expressive and connected to music. Whether you are learning to sing for the first time, preparing for a performance, developing your technique, or simply singing because you love it, I aim to create lessons that are supportive, enjoyable and tailored to you.

My teaching style is patient, encouraging, structured, adaptable and creative. I believe every student is different, and there is no single approach that works for everyone. I adapt my exercises, repertoire and teaching methods according to each student's voice, experience, goals and personality.

What happens in a lesson?

I usually structure a one-hour lesson around different stages. We begin with breathing and preparation exercises, followed by a range of vocal warm-ups designed to develop technique in a healthy and sustainable way. I vary the exercises and focus from lesson to lesson so that students continue to develop without placing unnecessary strain on the voice.

We then work on repertoire. I like to create a balance between songs the student loves and songs that will challenge them musically and vocally. I may suggest a piece based on the student's individual goals, while also giving them the opportunity to choose music that genuinely excites them.

Depending on the student's interests and level, lessons can include work on:

Vocal technique and healthy singing
Breathing and vocal control
Pitch and musicianship
Confidence and performance skills
Song interpretation and expression
Repertoire development
Preparing for live performances
Songwriting and creative expression
Recording and studio skills

I also have experience delivering group workshops and collaborative music sessions, which I particularly enjoy because they create a fun and interactive environment where students can learn from and inspire one another.
