PERFORMING
Hannah is a professional pop, jazz and blues vocalist and bandleader based in London. She grew up in Leicester and Australia and became a professional vocalist in her teens singing and playing guitar in venues in Leicestershire. Her mother had also been a professional singer performing across the UK in the 1960s.
Hannah has performed at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, The 606 Jazz Club, Abbey Road Studios, The Wireless Festival in Hyde Park, Twinwood Festival, Westminster Methodist Central Hall for Her Majesty the Queen and Tony Blair and The Barbican Centre with Dave Brubeck and his Family Quartet. She has sung as a guest with The Rat Pack Trio and Orchestra on a UK Theatre Tour and in two Proms at the Royal Albert Hall. Hannah has sung with The Les Paul Trio in New York City and has been asked to record in Nashville by Tim O'Connell, award winning songwriter for Johnny Cash. In addition, Hannah has had recent airplay on Jazz FM and BBC Radio.
She fronts her own bands including Ricochet Function Band and See Saw Duo.
VOCAL COACHING:
Hannah coaches artists on the roster of BGM Record Label in London.
She has been teaching singing for over 15 years privately, in schools, at night classes and for small and large ensembles.
She currently coaches over 30 singers. Singers of all abilities are welcome, especially very nervous students.
Hannah has been a judge for nationwide singing contests Live and Unsigned and Open Mic UK.
Her zest and passion for music and teaching are so contagious that singers can't help but be enthused and inspired by her teaching methods.
Hannah believes that singing can create confidence in other areas of a person's life and is a very therapeutic and healing activity.
Her students are encouraged to perform in public whenever possible and Hannah often seeks out these opportunities for them.

Hannah is a very easy teacher to get on with & makes lessons interesting & fun. I've learnt so much about breathing technique & vocal registrations & especially enjoyed singing duets with Hannah! I feel so much more confident about my singing & the lessons have helped me cope through a very difficult time in my life when I had to leave my job through ill health. I totally recommend lessons as therapy for anxiety & depression. I can't express how good the lessons have made me feel!
Since I have started lessons with Hannah, my confidence & knowledge has grown outstandingly. I always had a passion for singing but used to be very shy which is not the case now. Lessons are very enjoyable & can be planned around your personal goals plus I am now have vocal exercises on CD to practice at my leisure to maintain my new skill. My advice to people that are considering lessons with Hannah would be, if you're curious about singing this would be a great way to further explore this interest.
I'm a singer/songwriter performing my own material & was experiencing vocal fatigue & hoarseness after gigs. I use high intensity singing bordering on yelling at time & needed to know how to preserve my voice. I'm also a music teacher in a school & wanted to learn to teach songs & preserve my speaking voice. In just a few lessons my breath control, chest register power & tone have improved markedly. I'd highly recommend Hannah as a coach as you'll learn a solid technique in a relaxed atmosphere.
