We’ll focus on everything from breathing and pitch control to stage presence and performance techniques.

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.
Let's embark on this musical journey together and uncover your singing potential to the fullest. If you're ready to start, feel free to reach out and find singing lessons that fit your needs. I look forward to helping you achieve your singing goals!
