Personal Message: Sing sing sing!
Which subject(s) do you teach?: Classical voice, technique for pop singers and general music theory.
Tell me about your qualifications.: I am a musician and a performer but this alone is not enough; I have a BA in Music and am completing a Masters in Western Classical Voice Performance, but more than this I am a teacher of music to young people. In addition to my ongoing portfolio of Soprano performances I own my own business doing what I enjoy: teaching music.
What kind of experience do you have?: Performing main roles and chorus in Operas produced by Leeds University Opera Society, Leeds Youth Opera and British Youth Opera.
Choral singing with Leeds Baroque and Leeds Philharmonic choirs.
Solo work with orchestras and choirs in the UK and abroad. Including works by Handel, Dvorak, Bernard Gilmore
How much do you charge?: 12 pounds plus 3 pounds travel fair. 10% Sibling discount.

When are you available?: Most weekday evenings are available and most Saturdays are available.
Which ages and levels do you teach?: 9 and upwards. Any level from beginners to advanced
Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?: ABRSM grades
Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?: Yes.
Where and with whom did you train?: Trained at Leeds University and Leeds College of Music with Head of Vocal studies, Jane Anthony
Do you have a personal message for students?: Thus far in my career as a performing artist I have learnt that performance requires patience and extensive use of the imagination. I need to ‘see’ the place a song is describing and ‘be’ the character I’m singing in order to create a true performance. I look forward to teaching more students not only the importance of these skills, but how they too can become performers through a greater understanding of the positive power of the human voice.
