Which subject(s) do you teach?: I teach Classical Singing. I also tutor G.C.S.E and A-level music and music theory.
Tell me about your qualifications.: I have recently completed my BMusHons in Classical singing at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. I was awarded a distinction in my Final Recital and also in my Teaching Skills module. I have A-levels (Grade A) in Music, English Literature and Biology.
What kind of experience do you have?: I have been teaching singing privately for two years, from beginners to more experienced students, both on an individual basis and to small groups. I have had a detailed grounding in Classical singing technique and lessons in Accent Breathing method. I continue to research good teaching practice and learn from teachers at the top of the profession in order to provide the best possible teaching for my students. I perform as a soloist in Classical concerts and operas, recent appearances including 'teenage girl' in ENO's production of Two Boys by Nico Muhly. I sing in the vocal quartet ffourtissimo who have recently appeared on Harry Hill's T.V Burp and are soon to appear on the Matt Lucas Awards Show. I also run Literary Music, a group providing historical music and entertainment and was recently featured as a soloist on Masterchef's Regency Banquet. I have also had experience of choral singing as a member of the Halle Youth choir.
How much do you charge?: I charge £30 an hour or £15 for a half hour lesson. I charge a small amount for travel depending on distance, cost and time.
A consultation lesson is £20 an hour.
Where do you teach?: London: I teach from home in Forest Hill and will also travel to you. I am based near Brockley, Sydenham, Lewisham and New Cross, but will also travel to Central and East London; Angel, Islington, Old Street, Mile End, Euston, Baker street, and also to North London.
When are you available?: I am available most weekday evenings and some times during the day. I am also available most weekends.

Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?: I am currently in the process of renewing my CRB certificate.
Where and with whom did you train?: I studied at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama with Kate Patterson. My previous teachers include Margaret Humphrey-Clarke and Sally Wilks.
Do you have a personal message for students?: I am committed to teaching good vocal technique to allow my students to sing healthily and achieve their full potential. I encourage students to understand the way their body works when singing and be aware of their own vocal development. I aim to develop understanding of good technique alongside nurturing a pupils love of singing and natural ability.

My Testimonials

I wholeheartedly recommend Rosie as a singing teacher. I have been having lessons with Rosie for more than a year, and they have made a huge difference to my singing. As a result of her teaching, there has been an enormous improvement in my vocal range and my tone and breathing. Rosie is an excellent teacher of technique, and she always makes it fun as well as educational - I always look forward to the lessons. Rosie's approach is always so encouraging and supportive, and very good at improving confidence.
