VOCAL COACHING
I have always wanted to use my musical skills and expertise to enable and inspire others. I began teaching as a teenager at the Pauline Quirke Academy for Performing Arts and have since taught at college where I expanded my knowledge and experience.
Having recently completed the BAST (Be A Singing Teacher) course in Contemporary Voice Teaching, my knowledge in voice science and vocal pathology is both current and extensive. There are “set rules” for singing with a healthy vocal technique, however there is no specific technique for singing contemporary music - there are various different techniques across the numerous genres including jazz, country and rock. Having worked in the music industry with many talented singers and instrumentalists, and being well versed in most genres, I am able to train each singer accurately and cater to my students’ specific needs.
Whether you are looking to sing professionally as a soloist or in a band, or as an amateur in a choir or close harmony group to performance level, whether you are a young person embarking on your musical journey or simply for the joy and pleasure of singing itself…I can provide the vocal “tools”, as well as making it enjoyable and fun!
