I am a recent University of Chichester Graduate with a degree in Music with Instrumental and Vocal Teaching.

For a consultation, please use the "email me" button at the bottom of the page.

I specialise in vocal coaching for rock, pop and jazz singers, but am happy to work with pupils who are classically trained and wanting to broaden their repertoire. As well as vocal coaching, I also work on performance skills and am happy to help bands gain the skills they need to impress an audience. I offer a mixture of lessons and coaching sessions with the aim of broadening ideas of what music lessons are like.

Lessons are structured and filled with activities and exercises which will engage and test.

Coaching sessions are more pupil driven and allow them to bring works they wish to improve to me to be workshopped.Coaching sessions are suitable, as either a break from weekly lessons or, as a one-off for a singer wanting to brush up on technique, perhaps before a studio session.

Prices are to be paid at the start of each session and are as follows:

• 1hr lesson/coaching session - £25
• 2hr rehearsal coaching - £45
• 1/2hr sessions are available for younger pupils - £15

All of my lessons take place at the pupil's homes and therefore I have certain requirements as to appropriate space. I require:

• A power outlet (for a CD player).
• Space enough to move around for excercises.
• For younger pupils, I require that a parent is at home and the door is left open, this protects the pupil and myself.

Please do not hesitate to ask for any information.
