About Me

Hello. I’m a pro singer, actress and choir leader, with 17 years of teaching experience. I teach a blend of classical (bel canto) and speech level technique, used by Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera, and many others.

I have worked with singers of all ages and abilities and I would ideally like to help people who have ADHD, autism or some form of disability. Also, if you are a bit older and you want to learn a new skill I can help you. But even if you don’t fall into those categories, please get in touch and we’ll see what we can do together.

I followed a classical training for 13 years in clarinet and in lyrical singing for 5 years. I recently finished a 5-year training at the Paris Conservatory as a singer in contemporary music and I am now graduated from this training (jazz, soul, rnb, metal, rock, musical comedy, French song ...). This year I entered a Master of Music and Performance in London.
I move without problem and listen to the demand for songs to work.

Hi,

I'm a french bassist based in London. I'm looking to give courses to people who want to learn bass basics or more advanced stuff, as much as technical skills (like slap) to harmony and theory. Also can give Upright Bass courses.
I can learn several music styles, from jazz standards to pop/rock through hip hop and funk for all levels. I can also play bass synth and a little keyboard and guitar.

I learned music at the Conservatory of Paris in France, starting cello at 5 in classical music, then started bass and upright bass at the jazz department. I have a lot of band experiences, from a small band to big band, played a lot of music styles with them like Latin, fusion, jazz-rock, funk, soul... As many covers as there are compositions. I'm also productor for rappers or singers, producing on Logic Pro X.

So if you're interested to learn in those areas, I can help you whatever your level.
Feel free to contact me if you have questions !

Looking for a vocal coach can be a very personal and sensitive journey, so I honour your courage.

There may be many reasons why you've found yourself here reading this right now. You may be seeking transformational skills to ignite your vocal range, vocal stamina and tonality, or you may be in search of a safe, encouraging, nurturing and judgement free space to build your confidence, find your voice, and maybe even face some fears that have held you back up to this point.

Wherever this little message may find you, working together will surely be a journey to remember.

Vocal coaching is always more than we think it is. Clients often find themselves discovering incredible untapped potential that has been buried deep down on the inside of them, hidden for years. Many have had enormous breakthrough, mentally and emotionally, there have even been a few happy tears.

Whatever comes up, its totally ok, we're in this together! :-)

Love and blessings,

Stacey,

Your cheerleader of vocal breakthrough

.......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.” ...

Vocalists are needed everywhere and it is important to learn how to control your voice and view it as an instrument. With my lessons you will be taught in a fun and educational way with lessons tailored to each students preference and abilities. They would include teaching techniques and helping to build a strong foundation of knowledge with how specific techniques work through warm ups and song choices by myself and the student.

Vocal classes also include working towards grades, specifically Rockschool and learning the theoretical side of music.

I'm a singer and bassist based in London, ICMP alumni, graduated in Popular Music Performance specialising in Vocals. I had the opportunity to improve my skills as a vocalist through different Vocal Coaches, who inspired me to share the passion to other people with fun, kindness and a good challenge.

My vocal classes will include:
-Introduction: your interests, goals, struggles or anything else.
-Vocal warm-ups, breathing exercises, vocal exercises.
-Working on a song together (any song of your choice or I can pick one if you like).
-Performance, getting rid of stage fright, and how to convey a song with feelings.

I've always taught to my students privately and recently started to teach online. I like to have a free chat with my student (and/or their parents) before the first class to fully understand my student's goals and create the perfect study plan, with songs that will gently push you out of your comfort zone, where everything grows. Important is to mention that our classes are safe learning environment and there is no judgement; every mistake is an occasion for improving.
