Advice for New Students

Professional Singing Lessons

Hi there! I'm thrilled that you're considering taking singing lessons with me here in Cambridge. With my extensive experience as a singing tutor, i've helped students who want to learn for fun or to study towards something. I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to every session. My goal is to create a supportive environment where you can discover your true voice and build confidence in your singing abilities.

What You Can Expect

In our singing classes, we’ll cover a wide range of vocal techniques tailored to your preferred music style, whether it’s classical, rock, pop, jazz, or folk. Each lesson is designed to help you develop your vocal skills, from beginner to advanced levels. We’ll focus on everything from breathing and pitch control to stage presence and performance techniques.

Personalised Approach

Every student is unique, and I make it a priority to tailor my teaching methods to suit your individual needs and goals. Whether you're looking to join a local choir or the national youth choir, perform on stage, or simply improve your singing for personal enjoyment, my lessons are crafted to help you succeed. My experience as a singing teacher has given me the tools to help young people and adults alike find their voice and sing with confidence.

Fun and Engaging Lessons

My singing lessons are not just about hard work; they're also about having fun! Singing should be an enjoyable and rewarding experience, so I strive to make each session engaging and inspiring. You'll have the opportunity to sing a variety of songs and even work on some songwriting if that interests you.

Why Choose Me?

I am passionate about teaching singing and have been fortunate to work with a wide range of students, from young children to adults. I’ve performed in various genres and settings, and I bring that practical experience into our lessons. Whether you want one-on-one sessions or prefer group classes, I offer flexible options to suit your schedule and learning style.

Learn Musical Theatre & Other Genres

Musical Theatre

When you choose to take singing lessons with me in Cambridge, you'll have the opportunity to explore a variety of genres, with a special focus on musical theatre. As a singing tutor with a deep love for the dramatic and expressive nature of musical theatre, I enjoy teaching students how to bring characters to life through song. Musical theatre requires a unique blend of vocal technique, acting skills, and stage presence, and I am here to guide you through it all. From powerful ballads to lively ensemble numbers, we'll cover the essentials that will help you shine on stage.

Classical

For students interested in classical singing, I bring my extensive experience to each lesson. We'll delve into the rich, timeless repertoire that classical music offers, working on pieces that develop your breathing, pitch control, and overall vocal technique. These skills are fundamental regardless of the genre you prefer, and mastering them can greatly enhance your singing abilities.

Pop, Rock, and Jazz

In addition to musical theatre and classical, my professional singing lessons in Cambridge also encompass modern and contemporary styles like pop, rock, and jazz. These genres offer a different set of challenges and opportunities, including the use of different vocal timbres and techniques. Whether you're aiming for the smooth tones of jazz or the powerful belts of rock, I'll help you develop the skills needed to perform confidently and successfully.

Folk and Songwriting

For those interested in folk music or songwriting, our singing classes can also include elements of these genres. Folk singing often emphasises storytelling and vocal purity, while songwriting allows you to create your own music and lyrics. Together, we can explore the beauty and simplicity of folk tunes or craft your original songs, adding a personal touch to your singing journey.

Expand On The Singing Techniques You Know

Breathing Techniques

As a singing tutor with extensive experience, one of the foundational skills I emphasise in singing lessons is a proper breathing technique. Breathing from your diaphragm, rather than shallow chest breathing, helps you control your breath and sustain longer notes. In our sessions, we will practice various breathing exercises to ensure you can support your voice, regardless of whether you're singing classical arias or rock ballads.

Pitch Control

Pitch control is crucial across all genres, from classical to pop to jazz. During our singing lessons in Cambridge, we'll work on ear-training exercises to help you recognise and correct pitch issues. This is essential for delivering a pitch-perfect performance, whether you’re performing on stage or simply singing for enjoyment.

Vocal Warm-Ups

Every singing lesson here at Singing Lessons Cambridge starts with vocal warm-ups designed to prepare your voice for any style of singing. These exercises enhance flexibility, strengthen vocal cords, and prevent strain. These warm-ups are tailored to suit the genre you are focusing on, be it the smooth phrasing needed in jazz or the powerful projection required in musical theatre.

Resonance and Projection

Learning about resonance and projection is key to a successful performance. In our singing classes, I teach techniques that help you project your voice without straining, using the natural resonance of your chest and head cavities. This is particularly important in genres such as musical theatre, where you need to ensure your voice carries to the back of the auditorium.

Articulation and Diction

Clear articulation and diction help communicate the lyrics and emotions of a song. In our singing lessons, we focus on exercises that improve your consonant and vowel sounds, ensuring your words are heard and understood. This practice is indispensable, especially in genres like folk and musical theatre, where storytelling through song is integral.
