Personal Message: I'm waiting for you all to sing along!
Which subject(s) do you teach?: I teach classical singing, but I can teach also A-level Music or GCSE Music.
Tell me about your qualifications.: I graduated from the “Gheorghe Dima” Music Academy of Cluj Napoca, Romania, and majored in Interpretation/Performance – Classic Canto/Singing/ (Voice-Soprano). Then I attended a Master’s degree courses within the same Academy and I am currently a PhD candidate in my last year of study at the Music University of Iasi, Romania, major: Musicology.
What kind of experience do you have?: I taught singing at Music Faculty from Oradea, Romania for 11 years and now I am currently teaching private lessons around London.
How much do you charge?: I charge 30 pounds for A-level Music, GCSE Music and singing lessons and 40 pounds for University coaching and preparing for university exams.
Where do you teach?: I can teach in Acton Central, but I drive, so travelling to my students' places is not a problem for me.
When are you available?: My schedule is flexible so I can teach depending on my students' availabilities.
Which ages and levels do you teach?: I teach from 12 to 99 years.
Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?: I can prepare students to any levels and qualifications, from amateurs to university coaching.
Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?: I am CRB checked.
Do you have a personal message for students?: Besides my lyrical artist career, I have also dedicated myself to my teaching career, because I absolutely love to teach, I could say just as much as I love singing. I believe that some of my considerable advantages when it comes to teaching are: patience, my warm and open nature which allows me to get closer to my students, as well as perseverance and meticulousness. I am a singer who, besides innate qualities, has always built the instrument on a conscientious and rational basis, thus trying to study and understand this entire complex singing mechanism, both from the mechanical and the physiological perspective. This is why I found it so much easier to explain to my students what was going on inside them, to help them build their instrument, to restrain themselves, to be capable of performance even when their emotional state or health prevented them from doing so. I teach them that they should be the ones mastering the voice and not the other way around. I consider myself to be an ambitious, perseverant, communicative and sociable person, I am not one to easily give in to stressful situations and my life motto has always been: "There is no such thing as I can't, there is only I don't want to".

It is this element which constitutes the foundation of voice classification, considering the stamp (color), ambitus, and especially the tessitura. The quality is the primary function of a sonorous voice, without it even the most beautiful voice doesn’t carry in an opera house. ...

My Testimonials

I highly recommend Simona Furdui as a singing teacher for her very good professional skills and for her friendly way of teaching.
I was her student for four years and I am now myself a singing teacher in London.
Simona is very patient, paying atention at every detail and making sure that at the end of the session, the student is able to distinguish the correct technique of
singing from the wrong one.
She is a complex musician, combining teaching with performance.
