As a professional singing teacher, I know how it important it is that my students sing the music that inspired them. Therefore, my music sessions focus on helping you to develop the skills needed to perform across this spectrum with confidence and ability.

Vocal Health as Recommended by Professional Singing Teachers

Good vocal health is paramount for singers of all skill levels and it is not hard to find singing teachers who emphasise the importance of maintaining it throughout your musical journey.

Prioritising Warm-Up Routines

Before diving into the melodies and harmonies, starting each session with a proper warm-up is crucial.

I will guide you through tried-and-true techniques to prepare your voice, beginning with foundational exercises like lip rolls and simple scales, and gradually advancing to more specialised vocal exercises tailored to your skill level and goals.

Technique and Posture

Singing technique and posture play crucial roles in the development of a strong and healthy singing voice.

Whether you're a beginner or have been singing for years, proper technique and posture are fundamental aspects that singing teachers prioritise in their lessons.

More teachers then ever are focusing on posture as a key aspect of learning to sing, helping to unlock the voice for all age groups.

Tailored for All Ages

My vocal coaching adapt to the age and abilities of my students. From children to adults, I pride ourselves on creating an environment where singers of all ages can learn and grow.

As an experience singing tutor, I know first hand there is a great interest from parents in how singing teachers approach tutoring young learners. Whether in group lessons or individual tuition, singing for young learners should be fun, engaging and most of all encouraging - with each lesson focusing on one or more of the foundations of singing.

By focusing on these vital aspects of singing foundations and vocal health, I strive to ensure that every student can sing with confidence and longevity, transforming their love for music into singing without fear.
