Trusted teacher: I aim to help students develop their voices healthy while nurturing their passion for music. Although not everyone has an excellent singing gift, I believe that everyone can be an excellent performer on their own stage. I will teach students following their aptitude and will not be too harsh on students. However, I will treat every student fairly and will not leave anyone behind. I will set goals for students based on their level and have certain requirements. I hope that students can be happy in the learning process, truly master knowledge, and share music's truth, goodness, and beauty! I am glad that many of my students have achieved good results in examinations, including ABRSM and Trinity College London Grades and Diploma exams, and winning prizes in competitions, including Holmfirth Musical Festival, Newcastle-U-Lyme Festival of Music, Leamington Spa Competitive Festival, Hounslow Festival of Music, Longwell Green & Kingswood Performing Arts Festival, Coulsdon and Purley Festival, Basingstoke Music Festival, and more. I consider myself to be a wide-ranging opera and concert soloist. Passionate about opera, I have sung more than 30 operatic roles and performed for opera companies in Asia and Europe in many major theatres and festivals, including Opera Hong Kong, Musica Viva, Winslow Hall Opera, OperaUpClose, Tête à Tête: The Opera Festival, Passaggio Oper, Opéra de Baugé and more. My operatic roles include Macbeth(Macbeth), Tonio(Pagliacci) and Escamillo(Carmen), among many others. On the concert platform, my past engagements include Haydn's Nelson Mas(Really Big Chorus/Hong Kong Police Choir), J.S. Bach's Magnificat in D Major(Hong Kong Oratorio Society/Village Voices UK), Felix Mendelssohn's Die erste Walpurgisnacht(Hong Kong Oratorio Society), Handel's Messiah(Hong Kong SingFest), Faure's Requiem(Chesterfield Co-operative Choral Society), Brahms's Ein deutsches Requiem(The Guild Consort Choir). I received a postgraduate certificate from Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music, Hungary, and a Master of Music in Vocal Performance from Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, where I was awarded the St Clare Barfield Memorial Bowl for Operatic Distinction. Prior to that, I gained my Bachelor of Music from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. I am also an experienced singing teacher for all ages. Besides teaching singing privately for more than 10 years, I was also a music tutor at Parkland Music Limited, Greenery Music & Arts Centre and Canon Music & Arts Centre in Hong Kong. In 2016, I have successfully organized "No Vocalists Allowed" opera workshop, and coached non-vocal major students to sing and perform an opera scenes concert at the New Lecture Theatre at Birmingham Conservatoire. I have also worked as an assistant vocal coach in K. Wah Opera Hong Kong summer school programme 2017, where I trained young performers to participate in Elf the Musical Jr production.

Singing · Opera
Hello! Welcome to my voice studio. Whether you're exploring singing for the first time, refining technique you already have, or preparing for auditions and performances, I'm here to help you discover what your voice can do. Good singing isn’t magic... it’s about understanding your instrument, practicing smart, and building confidence over time. I focus on connecting what you learn theoretically to what you actually feel when you sing, so technique becomes intuitive, not confusing. My approach is encouraging, practical, and built to help your voice stay healthy and strong for life. HOW OUR LESSONS WORK Every student’s journey with me begins with a conversation about your goals and a gentle assessment of your voice, so that every subsequent lesson is tailored to where you are and where you want to go. A typical one-hour session includes about 30 minutes focused on vocal technique and 30 minutes working with repertoire, though we’ll adjust the structure based on what you need most at any given time. WHAT WE'LL WORK ON I will help you reach whatever your individual goals are. I can help you develop strong breathing and breath support, refine your tone quality and intonation, explore vocal anatomy, work on singing posture, expand your range and flexibility, harmonize your vowels, make stylistically appropriate choices, master proper diction and pronunciation in Italian, German, and French when applicable, build performance confidence, develop musical theater technique, and prepare audition materials. I also guide students on vocal health, injury prevention, repertoire selection and career development. MY CREDENTIALS I hold a Doctor of Musical Arts in Voice from the Eastman School of Music and will be joining the University of South Dakota as Assistant Professor of Voice and Opera in August 2026. I bring extensive performance experience in opera, art song, concert repertoire, and musical theater, combined with specialized training in vocal pedagogy and voice science. STUDENT TESTIMONIALS "This is my second year working with Joshua. I cannot explain the amount of gratitude that I have for his pedagogy and how much he has transformed my voice since I started with him. Joshua is on a completely different level of teaching. His practice techniques are never tedious/boring. Everything I wanted in a voice teacher and more." "Joshua does a great job at making lessons fun and friendly yet engaging, productive, and interesting. I love his unique vocal exercises and how he explains technique and how he is structuring our lessons around that theory of technique. Overall, Joshua is a fantastic teacher and has helped me progress tremendously in a very short period of time." "Joshua is an excellent teacher with a natural rapport and sincere enthusiasm towards the progress and success of his students. His standout qualities are his genuine care for his students, excellent teaching persona, and natural ability to create a supportive learning environment." FAQ Do I need any singing experience to start? 
No! Beginners are absolutely welcome. I teach students of all levels and adjust lessons to match your current abilities. What if I don’t know what songs I want to learn? 
I can suggest repertoire that matches your voice type and interests, or we can explore options together based on what you love to sing. How quickly will I see progress?
 Many students notice improvement within their first few lessons. Consistent practice between lessons accelerates progress significantly. Can I study both classical and musical theater? What about other genres? 
Absolutely! Many students enjoy exploring a variety of singing styles. I specialize in classical and musical theater performance, but we can focus on any genre according to your interests. What should I prepare before my first lesson?
 Just bring enthusiasm and an open mind! You may want to have some songs in mind that you’d like to learn, but this isn’t required.

As someone who loves singing it was very helpful in the very first lesson to begin to understand the muscles I need to use and the "spaces" I need to create to stabilise and improve my sound. I also felt she responded well to each question I raised, or issue she heard in the way I did the excercises. I look forward to future lessons.

rating green star
I really enjoyed my lesson with Francesca. She has a bright appearance and uplifting energy and teaches very clear, practical and gives a lot of great tips in her lesson. She observes well and is on it. I could really feel the change in my singing, during the lesson. Excited to practice more and to book a new lesson.
