Private Tuition

I offer vocal tuition to individuals and small groups at my North London studio and remotely via Zoom. All styles and levels are covered, focusing 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 £35 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 weekly 1 hour lessons

Individual lessons: £65 (£35 pre-session)

Small group sessions: 2-3 people £95

Discounted group sessions for seniors:  2-3 people: £60

BOOK LESSONS

 

Group events, training, socials, and performance opportunities. 

Everyone who studies with me gets the chance to perform in public 3-4 times a year. I think it’s really important to share your achievements with your family and friends, and to celebrate how far you’ve come. It’s also great to have a community with the other learners, for advice, inspiration, and just for fun. These events are scheduled termly and typically include student concerts, karaoke visits, technique workshops, singalongs and gig visits.

My credentials: 

As a touring performer and guest vocalist I can give you an excellent grounding in the techniques and demands of playing pop, rock, country and jazz. Additionally, I have a great deal of experience working with actor-musicians and choral singers, from total beginners, up to professional level.

Most recently I have been working with The Royal Shakespeare Company, Roaring Voices, Theatre of the Furies, Theatre de Complicite, Snappy Operas, and the Sing for Freedom choir.

I have a masters in music education from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, and am completing my PhD in music performance and composition at London College of Music where I was awarded the Vice Chancellors scholarship. My BMus is from Tech Music Schools. 

Additionally, I have qualifications from the Association of British Choral Conductors, Sing for Pleasure, Singing with Parkinsons (Christchurch Canterbury), have studied with renowned vocal educator Pete Churchill, and circle singing leader Guillermo Rozenthuler.

Please do look at my CV for my full credits.

Creative 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. contact me for a quote and to discuss how I can help your ensemble develop.
