I started lessons with Veronica very recently, 2 weeks ago to be exact. I started after putting singing lessons of for years, in search to find my true voice, to gain confidence in singing again after not performing for over 10 years.

Veronica has taught me techniques that she breaks down easily and explains how while demonstrating them. She has also helped me find my true voice and has helped me identify what styles my voice will best suit.

She is patient and caring which was important to me due to my confidence. She has honestly been the best teacher for me and I look forward to many more session with her. Big Thankyou!

Hi my name is Ellie Boulton and I’m 16 years old!

I’ve had singing tuition from Veronica since January this year so considering we had 5 months off due to the current climate I’ve only been singing for about 4 months and I can safely say I’ve improved so much! Not only vocally, but also confidence wise.

Veronica doesn’t teach you to sing, she teaches you to become a singer and a performer. One of the things that I love about Veronica is that she’s totally honest and that’s something that I wanted in a teacher and she would always tell me if I sound off but will then explain to me exactly what I need to do to improve. I’m actually auditioning for performing arts at college in a few days and thats a position I wouldn’t be in physically or mentally without Veronica. She helped me to believe in myself when I didn’t believe in myself.

Thank you Veronica for making my big theatre dreams more of a reality and putting all the time and effort in that you have for me. You have no idea how much I appreciate it and appreciate you for showing me the way to my real voice.

I can’t thank you enough

Ellie

Hi Veronica, Just a few words of my learning experiences with you and my singing ability. when I attended a singing course at Swindon college my singing ability was poor, but with your encouragement and drive I have become a much more accomplished vocalist in the sphere of operatic singing. I recommend you as a very good teacher of operatic voice and such techniques would be useful in other areas of singing were it the singers choice. Best wishes Clive
