About Me
I am lucky enough to have been playing music since I was 3 years old and having the opportunity to follow this passion and meet so many inspiring people along the way. Not only have they shown me beautiful music, but the importance of the courage of conviction in your creative and musical abilities. I will help you find this through our lessons together.

I ran my school, teaching girls singing technique, and improving their confidence with performing. With my years of training, I can teach Classical technique, Soul, Funk, Pop, and Jazz. Together we will learn the intricacies of technique, but also how to tell a story through music and perform confidently through self-expression.

We can also work on songwriting in any style you like and help you find your voice through developing a compositional toolkit, confidence in your own ideas, and the ability to tell your own narrative through song.

In terms of my own career as a singer-songwriter, I have toured across the UK, had two of my singles chosen as BBC favorite find of the week, and was interviewed and performed on BBC Radio Cornwall and BBC Radio London and was featured on Melatrois, Surf Radio, and Source FM. I am a featured artist for BBC's 'Stay At Home Sessions' with my own music and a spotlit interview. I partnered with WarChild to raise money for the coronavirus fund for people in vulnerable warzones, featured on a charity album, 'One and All' to raise money for the Cornwall Community Foundation coronavirus relief fund. I have performed in venues ranging from the Royal Albert Hall aged 11 with a Classical Music performance to summer festivals with my own compositions.
Education
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Popular Music from Falmouth University, which included 3 years of studying songwriting, performance, musicology (the philosophy, history, psychology, and sociology of music) which was a fundamental part of writing my dissertation and industry training (legal, promotional, marketing, production, etc...)

2 years of Voice at Junior Guildhall School of Music and Drama, which gives students the equivalent to ABRSM Grade 8 standard by the time of leaving.
Experience / Qualifications
I have had 11 years of vocal training in different genres, compositional training for over four years and have taught performance technique to the school Glee Club, organized lessons for the school Music Club which I founded and ran, taught and played music for 'Singing For the Brain,' a charity for people struggling with dementia where they sing once a week to find joy and forget about the rest.

While rooted in jazz, my approach is open to contemporary hybrid practices, including groove-based music production and acoustic-electronic environments when relevant to the student’s interests.

Lessons are primarily aimed at advanced students, semi-professional and professional musicians, composers, and international students based in Budapest who are looking for a more individual and experience-based approach to contemporary jazz and composition studies.

Coherence between form and content. The important thing in communication is not the confidence we have in ourselves, but the appearance of confidence we exude. It’s also not about being structured or coherent but simply about appearing to be so. And to do this, there are targeted tools.

➤ So, how do you listen and be listened to, convince/persuade and be impactful, challenge and leave an impression, enhance your content, address your audience relevantly and optimize the quality & clarity of the exchange/message? It is precisely a question of going through, applying and deploying practical and effective techniques of oral presentation, simple intervention or 'one to one' exchange, aiming to challenge one's audience or interlocutor, taking care of both the content and the form. , all in a professional or personal setting. Here again, there is a range of precise verbal and non-verbal communication techniques which, once modernized and brought up to date, will be put to the service of your reality. Allowing you to move from fear to pleasure in front of the public.

➤ Thus, mastered, the practical method allows, through a set of simulations and scenarios based on your daily experience supporting pragmatic & concrete techniques, to improve self-confidence, self-assurance, ease by overcoming discomfort and controlling his emotion in public. But also to work on your leadership & charisma, in a context where empathy and emotional intelligence are at the service of communication.

✓Relate their communication objectives (project, institution, values, ideas, demands, etc.) to the form of their expression.

➤ In addition, you will leave with concrete and immediately useful tools, developed in the form of practical lightning modules: learning to say no, getting a delicate message across, selling an idea, expressing disagreement with an authority, getting a "yes" without upsetting someone, resisting the pressure of a too-quick "yes", calming someone who has taken your words badly (...).

➤ In short, public speaking skills are now an essential cross-functional skill for asserting oneself, informing, negotiating, and persuading. However, to master the keys to successful public communication, it is necessary to enhance the impact of one's own speeches: by structuring one's interventions and taking into account the circumstances and the audience's expectations; by making a lasting impression through storytelling; by integrating the psychological and emotional factors of effective oral communication; by incorporating emotions into the preparation of the message and arguments; by anticipating objections and delicate situations; by preparing and structuring an engaging and convincing presentation outline; by experimenting with the rules of improvisation; and by appropriately managing difficult situations (...).

➤ In short, each session combines techniques & practical exercises adapted to your everyday situations (filmed with your agreement in order to be reviewed, commented on, decoded together live, to have an external perspective and areas for improvement) , so that you will be able to apply them immediately, and from the first session.

➤Progress following these sessions is noticeable from 2 to 3 sessions (*study 2026).

➤ Make your words a formidable asset. Ready to take things to the next level?

Do you need to play virtuoso passages without fatigue or wrong notes? To perform on stage from memory or with scores without fear?
