    Agree with Chris, those prices look great and it does get really taxing teaching more than 3. I often get one student to sing, and then the others can watch them for certain techniques, such as watching the belly for breathing or listening for breathiness.

    (Glad to have you in the gang, Lily! I’m a singing & voice teacher in Guildford, moving to London in September! Hope the garden city of Leeds is working out for you!)

    Yep, most def. I actually found the shorter lessons sharpened my teaching a lot more, making me stick to one thing and make sure it’s done.

    My contact were two people at Exe-Coll, Roz Harding (though she might have left!) and Katie Wild, the head of department. Go on an Estill course if you can and just wave the certificate at them, that’s how I got the job there!:)

    (A bit of Exeter interest: where’s the school?)

    I did some for Exeter College – they’re great fun. The 20 min lessons are generally fine if you pare down your goals and be snappy with your explanations. But make sure you know where the closest water fountain, toilet and staff room is, and who to hand your forms to. Took me about 6 months to realise I didn’t have to walk into the pub next door to take a piss.
