                   Vocal Tuition
Learning to sing takes time and depends on reflection and regular practice.
I teach the Bel Canto singing technique in conjunction with speech level singing. 
I deal with:

  • Vocal exercises
  • Breathing technique
  • Posture
  • Range and power
  • Musicals
  • Folk song
  • Vocal problems - passaggio (break in voice), lack of focus, commencing singing after nodules, vocal attack, intonation (singing in tune) and excessive or lack of vibrato
  • Classical repertoire - opera, oratorio and art song
I am also a qualified teacher of performance and can help with audition technique
and practice (singing and acting) for major music and drama institutions

I have previously taught at Middlesex University and the Charles Cryer Studio Theatre,
Carshalton, and I am also an Associate Lecturer for the Open University and a distance tutor
for the Open College of the Arts.  I am also a recommended teacher for the
London Philharmonic Choir.
