Question 1

Can anybody learn to sing?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Absolutely!  If you have vocal cords and can make a noise, then you will be able to sing.  Often, it is about having the confidence to release your voice and we can work on that together, looking at specific exercises to help build up strong and safe technique for singing.

Question 2

What styles do you teach?

Accepted Answer

My specialism is musical theatre, but I can also teach contemporary pop and other musical styles.  My teaching style is to find what your natural voice does and work from there.  However, if you are looking for a classical singing teacher, I have other teachers I would recommend.

Question 3

I get nervous performing in front of people, can you help?"

Accepted Answer

Yes!  Believe it or not, I used to get so nervous and still do get a wobbly belly before I go on stage.  There are techniques to help us control this though and turn those nerves into excited energy.  I'm here for you!

Question 4

Can I choose what songs or acting pieces I learn?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can.  In fact, I love it when students come with their own ideas, as it helps broaden my knowledge too.  Performing is about letting go and having fun, so why not perform the things that make you happy.

Question 5

What ages do you teach?

Accepted Answer

I teach singing to students from the age of 8 upwards.  I am happy to teach poetry/speech and drama to younger ages, so please do get in touch to discuss options.

Question 6

Can I take exams?

Accepted Answer

Currently, I can prepare students for LAMDA exams in Acting and Musical Theatre.  I have a 100% Merit and Distinction pass rate from over the last 8 years.
 
More recently, I have also entered students for the LCM Musical Theatre exams and Rock School Vocal exams, also with a 100% Merit and Distinction pass rate.
