Welcome to
Hello, my name is Yasmine Shepard and I am a professional singing teacher offering individually tailored singing lessons to students of all singing levels, including beginners.
My singing lessons are focused on helping my students to develop their vocal control, strength and overall confidence. This is done through blending technical exercises with carefully selected songs, based on a student's musical preferences, to create a course of lessons that aid vocal development.
I teach a basic scientific understanding of the voice, and keep my classes playful by using voice related games to enhance confidence and teach technique.

To find out more about my singing lessons, as well as to book your first singing lessons, simply get in touch.
I am here to help complete beginners, as well as intermediates and advanced students preparing for auditions, gigs and studio recording sessions. I welcome students interested in learning to sing as a hobby and for their own enjoyment, as well as those interested in building careers in music.
My lessons take a holistic approach to learning to sing, drawing on many different aspects - from body posture and reducing neck tension to building a student's confidence in their ability to sing.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I am passionate about music and love the teacher and student interaction. I strive to provide a positive and inspirational learning environment.
I;m an experienced vocalist having obtained a degree in musical performance as well as touring and performing live all over the UK.
I have over 10 years of vocal performance experience in classical, pop and musical theatre, which helps me to understand and teach people with different backgrounds and preferences. It also gives me a wide range of different exercises and approaches to help my students to find their voice in each song that we cover during our lessons.
I draw upon my experience to make sure your lessons are always of the highest quality at all times. I will make a lesson plan that suits your needs as a learner.
Over the last few years I have taught many students of all ages. I am keen to help my students benefit from the experience I have had working with singers of all levels, ensuring that the lessons that I hold are individual tailored to each student's learning level and utlimate goals for their voice.
Alongside my singing lessons, I am also able to help students interested in developing their songwriting ability. This creative aspect of music is one that can help students find their own voice, reflecting the experiences and dreams that they hold as an individual.
I can also help singers interested in exploring the recording process, helping them understand the interaction between song-writing, singer and music production. Specifically, for the last 2 years I have helped students who are interested to learn how to use Logic Pro X to enable them write, record, mix and release their first single.
We are fortunate to have some quality music stores in Norwich, able to help cater for singers and singer-songwriters of all abilities.
Cookes has been a Norwich institution since 1887. This fantastic independent business at 34 St. Benedicts Street, Norwich, Norfolk, NR2 4AQ is chock full of instruments, sheet music and more.
PMT have a branch of one of their fabulous stores at 67-73 New Botolph Street, Norwich, NR3 1DT. The store has an unbeatable selection of instruments, accessories, stage equipment and more, making it especially relevant to singers looking to play live.
St George’s Music Shop, at 17-19 St Georges St, Norwich, Norfolk, NR3 1AB is the one stop shop for sheet music in Norwich. It has a wealth of music on offer, as well as instruments and accessories.
I am an experienced singing teacher, able to help students of all learning abilities to progress their singing ability. Singing is a sing that can be improved through a combination of learning the correct technical skills with practicing those skills until they are second-nature. To find out more about how my singing lessons have helped develop singers from complete beginners into competent vocalists simply get in touch.
[email protected]My lessons are charged at £15 per half hour and £30 per hour lesson.
At the moment all my lessons take place from my home teaching space in central Norwich.
I welcome students from the ages of 6 years old and upwards. I have taught many adult singers over the years as well, there is no upper age limit to book singing lessons.
The frequency of lessons is entirely up to you as a student, however, I would recommend taking consistent lessons - for example, once per week - to enable you to build on each of the skills that you learn during out lessons.
Here at Singing Lessons Norwich, I operate a 48 hour cancellation policy, whereby if a lesson is cancelled within 48 hours of the arranged time then the lesson is charged at full price.
Write a final call to action to the student to book lessons.
