My music class varies in instrument, genre/style of music and level of musicality and is dependent on the individual who would like lessons. I teach face-to-face and online lessons. I tailor singing lessons around the student and their needs as I find a student-centric method always cultivates an enriching musical experience for the student and myself. I take great interest in understanding a student's unique goals, learning styles and preferences. I recognise that each student has a unique learning style; some students thrive with a structured approach, while others may prefer a more creative and exploratory method. By adapting my teaching techniques, and tailoring resources specific to the individual, I ensure you will feel completely comfortable and thoroughly enjoy your singing lessons.

My teaching approach has the potential to enhance your music knowledge and skills in an impressive amount of time, making your singing lessons very rewarding and worthwhile.

I love teaching any level at any age, as I believe music should be explored and enjoyed by everyone. Everyone has the ability to be a successful singer!
