Teaching Philosophy
Music should be enjoyed by everyone, from all ages and all walks of life. So many people are told that they "cannot singing" at some stage of their life. I believe that EVERYONE can and should sing if they enjoy it. Music is something that can be learnt at any stage of life, and sometimes because of one comment, that has caused a huge lack of confidence. It is my job to inspire and reintroduce that confidence to every one of my students. Singing in a group actually releases a chemical in the brain that no other group activity does, and I want my students to have that experience on a regular basis. Music is there to be loved and celebrated no matter your background. I have taught singing, piano and flute for fifteen years, and I want to ensure my students are given the best environment and opportunity to learn. I have taught students from the age of 4 to 74 and my sole aim is to find the joy and beauty in music no matter my student's age or previous experience. I have taught professional musicians who want to work on specific technique as well as those who enjoy music as a hobby. Music is there to be celebrated.
Musical Education
I have a BA in Theatre from Guildhall School of Music and Drama, in London England. Here I received voice classes in lots of genres including musical theatre, classical etc. Previous to Guildhall School of Music and Drama I trained as a classical singer and have recorded solo with The Royal Philharmonic OrchestraI in London and have performed at concert venues including The Cadogan Hall and the Barbican, as well as performing on the West End Stage in London. I also studied singing, piano and flute privately all from the age of roughly seven/eight until eighteen. I went through ABRSM (Associated Board of Royal School of music) and guildhall graded exams on both the Flute and Piano and completed them all.
Special Skills and Trainings
ABRSM grades 1-8 Flute and Piano I have performed and continue to perform as a singer. In London I performed for her Majesty The Queen. I also performed at huge concert venues with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra including The Cadogan Hall, The Barbican and The Royal Albert Hall. I also recorded for Nigel Hess in his classical album The Food of Love.

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
