She holds her A.Mus.A in voice, and 6th Grade Musicianship from the Australian Music Examinations Board.

Lauren is absolutely fantastic!

When I started having lessons I felt embarrassed by my voice. Lauren patiently took me back to basics and developed my technique in a way that I could relate to.

Lessons are always structured and fun, and my confidence has grown so much. Lauren has enabled me to sing songs in styles that I always thought were way beyond my capabilities.

My singing is better than it’s ever been!

Lauren is a truly amazing teacher. She helped build my confidence so I felt able to join a choir. She challenged me, but kept the lessons fun and I always went away feeling good and wanting to sing more. She has so much experience and great tips on how to get the best out of your voice and combat your nerves, I really miss our sessions together.

Thank you Lauren!
