I am a professional musician with thirteen years teaching experience and a BA in Music from Southampton University. I also completed the BAST (Become a Singing Teacher) course in 2015 and continue to study the voice from both a teaching and performing perspective.

I offer vocal lessons to all abilities and piano lessons to the beginner and intermediate pupil.

I am happy to teach any style, including classical, folk, pop, musical theatre, jazz, etc. I work with my students to understand their goals and what they want to achieve, then plan their lessons to suit each individual, continuously evaluating their progression and making changes when necessary.

Common goals from my students are to become more confident, learn how to read music, play by ear, take music exams, increase their vocal range, to sing freely without any discomfort, to prepare for performances, to increase their repertoire knowledge, and more. I also believe that enjoyment is as important as progression, so lessons are enjoyable and fun as well as educational!

I also play saxophone and have knowledge of music theory, so can incorporate these aspects into lessons depending on what the student requires.

I am happy to teach most days and times, but please contact me to discuss availability for lessons. I teach from my home music studio.

If you are looking for your child to have lessons I do not have a specific lower age-limit but please do ring me to discuss details.

I also offer music sessions to the elderly and for people with dementia as I have experience working for care homes and the Alzheimers Society.
