Experience 
 
Whether you are a complete beginner, or a seasoned professional, vocal coaching can help you discover new aspects of your voice, and help you build a safe and healthy approach to singing and speaking.

I qualified as a teacher in 2011 and since then have been helping a wide variety of people find, and use their voice! With a background in primary and secondary education, I am skilled at helping my students build their confidence and achieve their goals.  Many of my students opt to take lessons as a way of building self esteem; I love supporting them on their journey of self discovery and showing them all the wonderful opportunities and experiences vocal confidence can bring.

Alongside my private studio work, I am also the Singing Teacher at St Clare's International School, Oxford, and St Gabriel's School Newbury. In addition to my school work, I have the privilege of educating a number of choristers at Exeter Cathedral, and regularly prepare students for voice trials and auditions.


My Teaching Style

Your voice is a precious, precious thing, which deserves to be honoured and respected, after all it's part of you! I firmly believe in student centred learning; I take my guidance from you, rather than impose a predetermined belief in what you 'should' sound like. My job is to help you get to where you want to go, whether that's building confidence, preparing for a successful audition, taking exams or preparing for performances.

My lessons are rooted in a scientific approach, educating students on the physiology of the voice, and introducing them to exercises which will help them access the various qualities needed for a range of styles. I have been hugely influenced by the work of Jo Estill, and am currently working towards becoming an Estill Master Trainer, under the expert guidance of Prof. Anne-Marie Speed, Head of Spoken Voice at the Royal Academy of Music.

 I love to teach all genres of singing; Classical, Contemporary, Musical Theatre, Folk, to name but a few. I teach from my home studio in Besselsleigh, Oxfordshire, and online.
