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.
