Private Tuition
I offer vocal tuition to individuals and small groups at my North London studio. All styles and levels are covered, with a focus on freeing the voice and general musicianship.
I ask prospective students to attend a half hour presession before committing to regular lessons, this is to assess your vocal health and experience, whilst allowing you to discuss your plans and ensure I am the right tutor for you.
Pre-sessions cost £20 and are usually on a Thursday afternoon. Please contact me for availability.
Small group sessions are offered for those wishing to improve harmony singing, blend, accapella technique and general stage craft. I also provide coaching for larger ensembles keen to work on their technique, improve performance skills or to help them prepare for important events.
Prices for 1 hour sessions
Individual lessons: £58 (£25 pre-session)
Small group sessions: 2-3 people £85
Discount lessons (Students / OAP / other concessions): £33
Workshops:
I have a particular interest in musicianship for singers, improvisation, and devising – looking at ways to speed compose with singers and instruments, using play and games to develop technique, and discovering ways for each individual to feel able to create music of their own minds, in the moment. I run regular workshops to explore these techniques and those developed during my time with the Minds Ear Orchestra.
Please do contact me for a quote and to discuss how I can help your ensemble develop.
