I teach singing, guitar and bass to children and adults of all ages and abilities in Rock, Pop, Jazz, Music Theatre, Classical and Opera.

As I have always sung along with my guitar or bass playing, I have the expertise to help those who would like to improve their singing, or singers who would like to learn an instrument as well. Such tuition can be very useful for singer/songwriters or those who are already in a band, and wish to become a singer guitarist or bassist. I have advanced theory knowledge and experience in how to approach and arrange backing vocals.

Whether you want to sing for fun, be coached through the ABRSM graded singing exams, or brush up your understanding of music through theory lessons, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Singing Ethos:
My belief is that everyone can learn to sing when taught properly and holistically and can experience the joy of discovering the unique qualities of their individual voice. This is a joy which I share with my students and why I find teaching so rewarding. My experience is predominantly (but not exclusively) with children and I love to watch as their love for their voice grows.

What you can expect:
I believe it is important to teach with an emphasis on technique and vocal health, so from the first few lessons students learn about the body and the way the voice works. I address this through exercises and breathing techniques as well as songs appropriate to age and stage; (usually based around the appropriate ABRSM Grades). I strive to create a fun, nurturing environment where learning and confidence can be optimised.
I currently study with Sophie Grimmer, a highly respected and accomplished vocal teacher based in London who has performed at venues across Europe and London such as ENO. Therefore everything I teach my own students is informed by the world class tuition I am lucky enough to receive, (but of course adjusted so that it is age appropriate). This ensures that the tuition I give is always current and reflects the ever evolving industry standards for vocal tuition.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Emilie
Emilie has trained in many different genres within music. Emilie started off her training at Reynolds Performing Arts. Then went onto study vocals and music at The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, where she learnt all about how to use the voice and how to be a safe singer. Along with her training at LIPA focused on performance, music theory and music business.

Currently Emilie is a singer/songwriter and producer. Working in studios with producers and DJ's. Emilie has created an immense platform online and has releases that have been very successful. Emilie also performs internationally and around London itself to small intermite crowds and events with crowds of thousands.

Emilie has been teaching vocals for 6 years specialising is many different genres. Teaching big groups and vocal 1-1s. Emilie loves to focus on feeling confident and comfortable when singing. Looking at performance and vocal control. Always looking at ways to improve and get to the next step as a vocalist. Emilie teaches beginners all the way up to advanced. Emilie also teaches piano and songwriting.

If you are wanting to take exams in singing Emilie also focuses on this. From experience preparing for Trinity, Rock School and ABRSM. Emilie understands that exams aren't for everyone. So if you would rather just develop your vocals in other ways such as through vocals and songs, Emilie can put together working goals for this and a separate syllabus without the taking the exam part.

Lessons will be fun and flexible, they will be planed around you as a individual. In person will be accompanied by Piano and online backing tracks will be prepped in advance.
