.......Ana is also passionate about teaching. She was the baroque strings coach at the inaugural edition of the Novi Sad Baroque Academy, where she presented a mixture of teaching methods incorporated with historically informed performance practice. In October of 2021 she joined the Herne Hill Music Studio in London as one of their tutors. She enjoys teaching students of all levels and ages, and is always willing to exchange knowledge, seeking new exciting and productive ways of learning. She has explored educational psychology, as well as Feldenkrais and Alexander Technique, visualization and different teaching schools. Having studied 2nd-study piano at her music college as a compulsory requirement, she is able to guide children to take ABRSM graded piano music exams too. The students’ happiness, acquisition of new knowledge and musical improvement are the most important things to her. Diana Cummings, the LRAM programme supervisor at the Royal Academy of Music in London, said: “Ana gave a detailed and very well-presented analysis of the baroque viola, the comparison with modern viola and how it could be taught. You have a very analytical mind and think through all the elements of teaching effectively and constructively. You are a most promising teacher, and you are exploring your potential with great enthusiasm. Well done.” ...

I am a professional opera singer, currently studying a Master's at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Having performed numerous operas, oratorios and song recitals, I have a in depth and far reaching knowledge of the classical vocal repertoire and a good command of the musical theatre repertoire. Whether you are using it professionally or for fun, I am a strong believer that establishing excellent technique is essential to developing a voice. I work from the premise that no two voices are the same and I tailor lessons to suit my students. We will work on technique, repertoire, interpretation and, where appropriate, language skills.
Together, we can work on building a healthy voice and compiling a book of repertoire to help you prepare for exams or recitals. The aim of a lesson is to achieve vocal freedom, which will allow the student to approach repertoire healthily and confidently without fear of the voice giving out. Whatever age, skill level or intention for using the voice, this will ultimately make singing more enjoyable!
I have experience coaching choirs and working with young people, particularly with Cambiata North West. I have given masterclasses and singing days, most recently at Saffron Walden County High School.
If you would like to organise a lesson, please do not hesitate to contact me via the details on the 'Contact' tab. During the COVID - 19 lock down and social distancing period, I will be teaching remotely via Skype and Zoom.
As well as singing tuition, I am also happy to tutor music theory and academic music programmes up to and including A-Level Music. For young people, the aspects of performance and study go hand in hand and I believe it is important to offer support in all aspects of music!

Let's have a modern fun approach to singing/songwriting/piano! Hi, I'm Elena, and am a Pop Singer/Songwriter and have written for many other artists with songs that landed on the Billboard Dance Club Charts.

I'm a graduate of Berklee College of Music where I studied piano performance, songwriting, and music business. I love helping people find their creativity, teaching in a way that is FUN and applies to the student's goals, and also showing people how to practice efficiently!

My lessons can include:
-Singing (beginners, intermediate, singing to learn your own songs, singing to find your own voice)
- Songwriting (learning to write your own radio hit or alternative songs, maybe you've always had lyrics or melodies but want to know how to progress them? Or for intermediate songwriters, let's edit and strengthen your current songs and take them to the next level)
- Piano (Classical/Pop) - All levels, perhaps you want to efficiently train for an exam, or learn basic chords for your songs, start from scratch, or master your favorite classical or pop piece of music!
- Music technology, Basic Production, music industry mentorship, and theory classes!

Whether you're preparing for an exam or wanting to learn, improve, and discover music, we can tailor classes exactly to your interests and needs.

Songwriting, Piano, Music Technology, Pro-tools, Logic, Classical Piano, Beginning Piano, Intermediate piano, Advanced piano, Pop Music, Pop Singing, Pop Songwriting, Indie Songwriting, Singing-songwriting, Music Theory, Classical Theory

Lori
Explore the expressive power of your voice through one-on-one sessions that are uniquely designed to meet your needs!

Hello! I am Lori, a professional singer and vocal pedagogue with notable performance and teaching experience in a variety of musical genres. I hold a doctorate in voice performance and am currently teaching in reputable institutions in the Washington, D.C. area.

I work with students ranging from teenagers to adults focusing on classical, musical theatre, and contemporary styles. Meanwhile, I perform in a diverse spectrum of styles and genres, mainly classical, musical theatre, and jazz, both in the United States and abroad.

I can help you with:
- Exploring your voice
- Establishing a healthy vocal technique
- Musicality (i.e. musical and stylistic work)
- Interpretation & dramatic expression
- Lyric diction (Italian, German, French, Spanish, English)
- Audition preparation
- Performance anxiety & self-confidence

A student’s learning experience should be fun, exciting and inspiring, as well as stimulating and challenging. I firmly believe that the teacher’s constructive feedback accelerates the learning process. Through creating a positive, energetic atmosphere, and establishing a safe, friendly environment, I always aim to encourage students to ask questions, share their thoughts and feelings in their learning process, and to exercise their creativity. These explorations are as crucial for the discovery of one’s voice as they are for the development of self-confidence and artistic expression.

I look forward to working with you!

I usually structure a one-hour lesson around different stages. We begin with breathing and preparation exercises, followed by a range of vocal warm-ups designed to develop technique in a healthy and sustainable way. I vary the exercises and focus from lesson to lesson so that students continue to develop without placing unnecessary strain on the voice.

We then work on repertoire. I like to create a balance between songs the student loves and songs that will challenge them musically and vocally. I may suggest a piece based on the student's individual goals, while also giving them the opportunity to choose music that genuinely excites them.

Depending on the student's interests and level, lessons can include work on:

Vocal technique and healthy singing
Breathing and vocal control
Pitch and musicianship
Confidence and performance skills
Song interpretation and expression
Repertoire development
Preparing for live performances
Songwriting and creative expression
Recording and studio skills

I also have experience delivering group workshops and collaborative music sessions, which I particularly enjoy because they create a fun and interactive environment where students can learn from and inspire one another.

My approach as a teacher

One of the things I value most as a teacher is being able to inspire and motivate students from their very first lesson. I want students to develop their skills, but also to develop a genuine love for music and singing.

My own vocal teacher had a huge influence on my musical journey. She showed me how powerful an encouraging, passionate and supportive teacher can be, and that experience has strongly shaped the teacher I want to be.

I am also very patient and understand that everyone learns at a different pace. As a singer and musician myself, I know that some things can take time to understand and develop. I never want students to feel that they are being compared to someone else. Instead, I focus on helping each person recognise their own progress and build confidence step by step.

As a working vocalist, songwriter and recording artist, I can also bring real-world experience of live performance, rehearsals, songwriting and studio work into my lessons. I enjoy sharing practical knowledge from my own musical career and helping students understand how the skills they develop can be applied beyond the lesson.
