I am a professional freelance opera singer currently performing with English Touring Opera and the National Gilbert & Sullivan Opera Company, among others. I trained at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, have been singing my whole life, and was brought up by two professional orchestral musicians with a strong background in music theory, sight-singing, and aural training. I offer singing lessons to all ages and abilities, as well as music theory to beginners and intermediates (up to Grade 5). I firmly believe that singing is for everyone, and that above all else it should be fun! I have experience in teaching primary and secondary age children and young people, as well as adults up to 80 years old across a range of genres including musical theatre, jazz, choral, and opera! I work with my students to help them set goals, improve their vocal stamina and awareness of vocal health, build technique, enjoy the sensation of singing and performing, and most importantly gain confidence. Music theory knowledge and musicianship skills are essential elements when building confidence and skill as a singer or instrumentalist, not to mention when sitting graded exams. I aim to bring enjoyment to music theory and musicianship, working with the student to ensure the lessons are suited to their personal needs and learning methods. I have a full enhanced DBS check.
