I have many years of singing experience across several genres and really enjoy sharing and spreading my passion for singing and songwriting with others. Whilst in school I competed in local and national Scots singing competitions and undertook lead roles in musical theatre productions both with my local theatre group and Youth Music Theatre UK. Whilst living and working in Aberdeen, I was the voice of Audrey 2 in Attic Theatre’s 2016 production of ‘Little Shop of Horrors’, and played Sarah in the Scottish Premiere of ‘Murder Ballad’ with Harlequin Theatre. in 2017. I am now based in Glasgow and have re-branded my solo output as ‘Modern Sonder’, releasing my debut emo-alt -rock EP ‘Crisis, Grace & Growth’ in October 2020. I am continuing to work on my own original music alongside teaching singing.

I am currently in my third year teaching for Glasgow City Council, providing free music lessons for children in their schools. I teach children starting at age 4 Piano, Singing and Violin. My lessons are a mixture of solo, group and classroom. I have been teaching private pupils for 10 years and they have ranged from the age of 3 to 70. If you are interested in taking exams, I have a great record of success from the ABRSM and Trinity Boards. Due to many years of experience, I am extremely adaptable to all of my pupils’ needs and styles. I am completely passionate about teaching and passing on my skills, knowledge and love of Music and the Instrument. Music Qualifications & Achievements: In my early teens, I achieved Distinction marks in my ABRSM Grade 8 exams in the Piano, Violin and Singing. I was extremely fortunate to study the Piano and Violin at Chethams School of Music, Manchester. This specialist and dedicated education taught me the discipline and skills needed to become a professional musician. I then gained a Bachelor of Music with Honours from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, in 2014. There I studied Violin, Voice and Piano Skills. After my undergraduate degree, I completed a Master of Arts in Singing at the Royal Academy of Music, London. My performances have taken me to the great venues of the UK, including the Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall (London) and Royal Concert Hall of Glasgow and Edinburgh. I also enjoy travelling through Europe and China performing as a soloist and with professional ensembles.
I have 20 years of music teaching experience to all ages and levels in a variety of education settings from private to school instruction. I have worked in secondary schools across the central belt of Scotland and worked with individuals privately. I graduated from the Royal Conservatoire of Music in Scotland with an endorsement in Techniques of Teaching and immediately began a number of coaching jobs in a one to one setting. My lessons are tailored to your preference of musical style but always focus on developing strong technique, poise and performance skills and building confidence and connection between the mind and the voice or instrument. I also have a wealth of performance experience as both a singer and saxophonist working in all styles but with an real interest in Jazz music. My quartet has toured around Scotland and I love to encourage my students to perform and share their musical development with an audience. I am enthusiastic, fun and encouraging and I love to inspire my students by helping them to express themselves from day one on their music journey. My focus is not only on reading exercises and pieces one by one until we get to the end of the book. Instead, in my lessons I ask my students to play, to improvise, to express and to connect emotionally with the music no matter how basic or advanced their level is. My main goal as a teacher is to teach others how to teach themselves, providing direction and inspiration that helps them achieve their goals. I can help you reach your goal of taking voice exams with Trinity, ABRSM or other exam boards or prepare for auditions and performances. I like to include theory, ear training, composition and harmony in my lessons. We also discuss and listen to other artists and about what we can learn from them. It’s also important in my lessons that students learn to control nerves and work with accompaniment, whether it’s a piano or a band. Whatever your goals may be, we can work together to achieve them! I have experience working with students from the UK, Thailand, India and Hong Kong. Through online lessons connecting can be extremely convenient and I encourage my students to record and send audios to me between lessons that I can evaluate and use as a basis for improving in the next lesson. I love to see my students progress and achieve their goals whether it’s going on to a career in music or singing at the next family party! Whatever it may be, I am happy to work with you and giving you expert guidance along the way. Music Qualifications & Achievements: Bachelor of Music Performance from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland with Techniques of Teaching endorsement.

Singing lessons: what to expect
The best singing lessons near you aren’t just about distance — they’re about a coach who helps you build your voice safely and consistently. Search by location to find in-person singing lessons, or choose online lessons to access specialist vocal coaches for pop, musical theatre, rock, classical, and exam preparation.
Singing lessons are for complete beginners through to experienced performers. Lessons can be tailored for children, teenagers, and adults — whether you’re learning for fun, building confidence, joining a band or choir, or returning to singing after a break.
Most students work on breath control, pitch, tone, range, vocal agility, and song interpretation. A good vocal coach will also help you practise effectively, warm up safely, and build vocal stamina — so you improve without strain.
Online singing lessons can be highly effective for technique, consistency, and flexible scheduling — especially with an experienced coach. In-person lessons can feel more immersive and are great if you prefer face-to-face feedback and hands-on guidance.
A simple learning path for singing
A good teacher will tailor lessons to your goals — but here’s what progress often looks like.
Learn healthy breathing, posture, warm-ups, and simple exercises to improve pitch accuracy and reduce strain while building confidence.
Develop stronger breath support, resonance and tone control, smoother transitions between registers, and start expanding your usable range.
Improve vocal agility, dynamics, phrasing and expression, build stamina for longer songs, and develop performance skills — tailored to your style and goals.
Getting started: what you need
Keep it simple at first — your teacher can help you choose the right setup.
- No kit required: you can start with your voice, a phone recorder, and a quiet room.
- Hydration and warm-ups matter more than volume — good singing is built on consistency, not pushing.
- If learning online: headphones and a stable internet connection make lessons smoother.
Styles & goals your teacher can support

Pitch, tone, breath control, runs, stylistic choices, and building confidence for modern pop songs.
Clarity, projection, character, stamina, and audition prep — combining technique with performance.
Healthy power, grit and intensity (when appropriate), safe belt development, and avoiding vocal fatigue.
Foundations of technique, resonance and diction, musicianship, and structured preparation for exams.
