About Me
I'm a singing teacher and voice professional, based in Walthamstow!
I teach all ages, and my teaching style is tailored to the individual, prescribing technical exercises and repertoire suited to each individual's specific voice and interests.
As the voice in particular is such a personal mode of expression, I create a warm, safe and open environment for self-expression and development, encouraging students not only to achieve their goals but to surpass them.
Over the past few years, I have had seven of my singing students accepted onto the Royal Academy of Music's Junior Music Theatre programme, with one student offered a full scholarship based on merit. I have consistently successfully prepared students for GCSE and A Level performances and ABRSM exams, with the vast majority achieving the highest marks.
I am very committed to my own continuing professional development as a voice professional. I have taken many courses over the past few years from reputable sources such as Vocal Health Education, The Voice Study Centre and the Association of Teachers of Singing amongst others and have also taken courses in child protection and safeguarding.

Languages are becoming more and more essential to solidify a good understanding and communication of this world’s constant change. Therefore, Spanish, being one of the most popular language, becomes an important tool. In order to speak it, the class is composed by grammar, vocabulary, listening and speaking. Depending on the time and frequency, the student will be be able to articulate thoughts and write them.
It is vital that the language is spoken, hence, depending on the student’s level, the class will be provided in Spanish and English (swapping when necessary).

Songwriting is an essential skill in the production of any song.
Learn what it takes to write a great song that resonates with people. We will discuss the art of storytelling and discover how you can find your unique voice. Exploring how to create a strong melody and write a compelling lyric.
In this class, you will learn simple techniques on how to get the most out of your lyrics by skillfully matching the phasing and syllables with the notes of your melodies. We will look at the ways in which song structure can give your songs more depth.
I believe everyone can be trained in the art of skilled expression through songwriting.

Singing is an incredible skill to have. Whether it is to improve confidence or to try and forge a career within the arts. I delve into the technique of singing and look at how acting through song can enhance a performance and indeed the sound of the voice. Every song has a story. From start to finish you want to colour the words and make them interesting.

I also want everyone to gain confidence in my lessons. Being confident is the first step in the world of vocal studies.

I tend to start my lesson with a substantial warm up just to make sure we are being safe when singing and warming up sufficiently. The next step to work through a song. Looking at how to improve the song. As we move through I tend to look at one subject per session for example how to use belt properly? Or how to add falsetto? Or pop inflections?

It all depends on the lesson itself.

If you are an aspiring singer or musician looking to increase your knowledge of music theory and performance confidence you are in the right place!

I have just completed my music degree where I specialised in contemporary classical singing and opera. I have experience singing jazz, pop and musical theatre and have completed one year on a Vocal Studies course at a Music Conservatoire. I have Grade VIII in Violin and Classical Voice, Grade VI in piano and Pop and Jazz Vocals and recently achieved a 1st for my final degree recital and composition. The techniques that you gain from classical training can be applied to all genres and give a strong foundation to be able to perform any music you may be interested in. I can also offer help with music theory and shape what I teach to meet your interests and goals. I aim to help you truly love music and gain confidence in your performance and musicianship skills in a safe and encouraging environment. No matter what level/ability you are we will improve your skills and confidence in singing and have lots of fun whilst doing so!

I will teach you just about any style of singing in fun ways, to fit your unique vocal goals! With my bespoke classes to identify & culture your vocal tonality & expression, we can together navigate through singing, breathing techniques, oratorship & acting skills; or whatever you prefer!

POSSIBLE OUTCOMES:
You discover & build:
- confidence in your voice projection & performance techniques
- grounding in your body and chakras, and mainly your voice box;
- better identification of musical pitches via ear training
- breath control (which eventually leads to a wider vocal range)
- expressive means to communicate through your singing or spoken voice

I use hybrid techniques borrowing breath control and root note awareness techniques from Kriya yoga; intonation from Western pitch systems, and grounded breathing & performance styles that borrow from Indian raaga music. My singing and vocal techniques, as a professional artist, have been influenced by an eclectic blend of Pop, Blues Rock, Folk, World, and Jazz.

With this course, you'll learn how to use your voice, from the basics, like tuning, to more advanced techniques like vibrato, melismas, and different vocal projections. If you already know how to play an instrument that accompanies your voice but can't yet sing and play at the same time, I'll teach you how to blend the two. This course, depending on your skill level, will help you improve to the point where you can use your voice with ease.

With over 14 years of teaching experience and opera training, I offer a unique vocal approach that blends precision, technique, and artistic freedom. Having performed at prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall, La Scala in Milan, and the Staatsoper Berlin, I’ve worked with some of the most respected artists in both classical and contemporary music. My method empowers singers to develop their voices with confidence, ease, and expressive depth, regardless of their genre.

I coach a select group of successful artists, including one whom I’ve mentored since childhood, guiding her to develop a distinctive vocal identity and achieve international success. With extensive experience in shaping vocal talent at the highest level, I work with singers of all backgrounds—whether in opera, crossover, or contemporary styles—to help them unlock their full potential.

My approach is tailored and empathetic, providing a supportive environment that fosters growth, including for neurodivergent individuals. Whether you’re preparing for professional performances or refining your technique, my goal is to help you discover and express the full range of your voice with confidence and artistry.
