As a lot of the fundamental techniques for singing are the same, I can offer lessons in any genre you like, however I specialise in Pop, Folk, Rock and even Jazz singing. I'm also very good at helping students develop their own style. We can take multiple genres you love and create a style that suits your voice.
I want everybody to experience the amazing benefits of singing, this is why I offer lessons to students of all abilities and ages (8+). I have experience in teaching young learners and adults and regardless of what your age is, I will always make a lesson plan that suits your skill level. I will always make sure we learn at a pace that you can enjoy.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I welcome both beginner students and more advanced students to take my lessons. I will make a lesson plan that suits your singing style and goals.
I teach beginners
Hello, I'm a fun experienced singing teacher with over 20 years experience. I'm British but located in the San Francisco Bay Area in California.
I've been singing my whole life, trained in early music as a child, then jazz at the City Literary Institute in London and then in Voice Movement Therapy with Paul Newham in London from 1998-2000
My great teachers have included Frankie Armstrong, Ida Kellarova, Mark Murphy, Dave Stroud and Paul Newham. I have since developed my own unique teaching style based on my experience.
I like to make sure my lessons are always enjoyable.
I help my students to uncover range, strength and emotional connection to their voice and songs. I’m trained therapeutically, in jazz and as a voice actor, so I can tailor lessons to suit the very specific needs of each student. From professional singers and actors to people that are just starting out. Everyone has room to grow.
If you want a full, free and strong voice, I can help you get there! I help with singing across 'the bridge', with confidence, dexterity, tone and placement. I help rehabilitate after vocal injury and build confidence and skills to overcome stage fright and performance anxiety. Don't let your old stories and habits stop you from having the voice that's hiding inside you!
I like to create a plan of lessons tailored to each individual student, based on their goals and favourite styles of music, meaning you can learn the different techniques and theory of singing using the music that you love.
