Since graduating I have been working in performing arts for a number of years with a combination of vocal coaching and singing. I was the musical director for First Act Theatre in Gosforth and have run extracurricular singing classes in various schools in the North East. I currently work as a singing teacher with The Charlotte Gardiner Performance Academy and the Royalty Youth Theatre Academy. In addition to teaching, I still perform with several bands and duos; a mixture of rock, pop and jazz.

Structure of the Lessons

I offer both private singing lessons and group lessons, providing flexibility based on your preference and budget. Each lesson lasts one hour, giving us ample time to dive into technique training, explore sheet music, and even work on songs that resonate with you.

We can cover various styles, including pop and musical theatre, allowing you to develop as a versatile performer. For younger children, I focus on making the learning process fun and engaging, while ensuring that the fundamentals of vocal health are prioritized.

Private Singing Lessons In All Styles

In my singing lessons in Newcastle, I believe that every genre offers a unique opportunity for artistic expression. From pop to musical theatre, each style resonates differently with students and helps them build confidence in their voice and performance skills. Whether you're a beginner just starting your journey or an experienced singer looking to refine your technique, my tailored approach ensures that every student finds their own musical path.

Pop

Pop music is a fantastic genre to explore, especially for younger students who want to learn songs they can relate to. The catchy melodies and relatable lyrics often make it a favourite among students of all ages. In our singing lessons, we can work on popular artists’ songs while focusing on technique training that enhances vocal control and phrasing.

Musical Theatre

Musical theatre offers a theatrical aspect to singing that captivates many learners. I encourage my students to explore this genre as it combines acting with voice, bringing stories to life. Whether you're preparing for auditions or simply wish to develop your performance skills, we can focus on songs that showcase your talent and allow you to embody different characters. This can be especially rewarding for younger students who attend theatre schools or are inspired by shows they’ve seen.

Other Styles

While pop and musical theatre are popular choices, I also introduce my students to various other styles, such as jazz, classical, and even contemporary R&B. Each genre not only broadens your musical repertoire but also enhances your overall versatility as a performer. As a passionate singing teacher, my goal is to help you discover which styles speak to you personally and nurture that passion through our lessons.

In every hour of singing lessons, we’ll create a supportive and inspiring space that encourages you to explore, learn, and grow. My students often find that engaging in diverse genres not only builds their confidence but also prepares them for performances, whether it's for school events or a spot on BBC Radio. Let’s embark on this journey together and see where your talent can take you!

Improve Your Vocal Technique

At singing lessons Newcastle, I focus on developing essential vocal techniques that are crucial for every singer, regardless of their age or experience level. These techniques include breath control, pitch accuracy, vocal resonance, and phrasing. Each lesson is designed to cater to the unique learning styles of my students, allowing beginners to build a solid foundation while more experienced singers can refine their skills. Every singing lesson is different and I pride myself on giving you the tools to learn for fun or improve your average score in singing exams.

Breath Control

Breath control is vital for consistent singing. We will explore exercises that help you learn how to manage your breath effectively, ensuring you can sustain notes longer and sing with increased power. Through specific drills, students will learn to engage their diaphragm, improving their overall vocal performance.

Pitch Accuracy

Learning to sing in tune is fundamental, and my singing lessons private focus on this aspect through the use of scales and interval training. By regularly integrating these into our hour lessons, students enhance their pitch accuracy, which is essential, especially when performing their own music or covering popular songs.

Vocal Resonance and Phrasing

Vocal resonance plays a significant role in how your voice projects and sounds. Together, we’ll work on techniques to open up your sound, making it richer and more dynamic. Phrasing, on the other hand, is about how you deliver lyrics and melodies. We will analyse songs, focusing on how to convey emotions effectively, allowing you to connect with your audience during performances.

Tailored Techniques for All Ages

Whether you're a young age beginner or an older student, each lesson will be tailored to suit your ability level. In my classes, we create a comfortable atmosphere where students are encouraged to share their inspirations. This way, they can learn to sing not only to improve but to express themselves through music. Many students discover their unique styles and preferences through our engaging approach, making the learning process enjoyable and effective.

Progressing Through Lessons

On average, my students see a noticeable advance in their vocal abilities within just a few weeks of lessons. As you develop your technique, you’ll also gain confidence, which is a crucial aspect of performing. With my knowledge as a singing teacher in the North East, I aim to inspire and empower every student, ensuring they leave each lesson feeling accomplished and excited about their musical journey. Let's work together to unlock your potential!
