Vocal Lessons

I'm a qualified Contemporary vocal coach. I studied at the voice college (London) and achieved my final grade with a distinction. I have been teaching singing for 6 years and have a great passion for bringing out the best in singers. I teach singers on all levels and have a lot of patience with the process of any student that I teach. Just like me, it took practice and time to build the voice I currently have and so I completely understand that it's a process. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced singer I would love to have the privilege of working with you.
