Genevieve Begley
Hello! My name is Genevieve Begley. I have been performing and teaching singing now for many years. In this time I have covered and studied a wide range of genres. This means that no matter what style of music you enjoy, the lessons will be tailored to suit your individual style and needs.
A huge part of my teaching method is to ensure good habits and developing solid technique early on to make sure no damage is made to the vocal cords in the long term! We all want to be able to sing for a long time, a guitar can be restrung, but our voices are different! Healthy practice is key.
As your teacher, my ultimate goal is to share my own passion for singing with you and to help you on your journey to being the best singer you can be! Whether this be to learn to sing from the beginning, or to perfect that karaoke/shower singing voice or to take it all the way and learn to sing on a professional level, I am excited to play a part in your journey.
Having studied musical academically I have now graduated from Leeds College of Music specializing in Jazz vocals. Here I studied under Lauren Kinsella from Snowpoet. Here I learnt so much about how to sing with better technique and these are the skills I now want to pass on to my students.
As well as performing Jazz, I also compose and perform original music in a function band which covers a wide range of styles and genres. I have performed around Leeds at venues such as the Belgrave Music Hall, Seven Arts, Headrow House and the Jazz Leeds Festival in 2018 and 2019.
Over the years I have been fortunate enough to perform at some really cool shows including the BBC Proms in 2012, Disneyland Paris and Notre Dame Cathedral. As well as performing as the headline act, I have supported artists including the Henry Lowther Quintet, Benn Clatworthy and Ruby Rushton.
