I teach singing, guitar and bass to children and adults of all ages and abilities in Rock, Pop, Jazz, Music Theatre, Classical and Opera.

As I have always sung along with my guitar or bass playing, I have the expertise to help those who would like to improve their singing, or singers who would like to learn an instrument as well. Such tuition can be very useful for singer/songwriters or those who are already in a band, and wish to become a singer guitarist or bassist. I have advanced theory knowledge and experience in how to approach and arrange backing vocals.

Develop your skills while releasing your stress and having fun!

Looking for a teacher to help develop your child's musical skills? Getting ready for a school audition? or just really interested in performing a specific song/piece?
I am an experienced performer and I teach singing and piano to students of all levels, making sure all students enjoy the music making process and give them the necessary tools to grow more confident in their craft.
The lessons are tailored to the student's personality, goals and musical background, and therefore there is always the freedom and opportunity to communicate with me any changes to make the course more suited to the student's needs and wants.

Hello! My name is Emily and I’m a professional singer and a passionate and experienced singing and piano teacher with 15 years of teaching experience to students of all ages and abilities.

As a teacher, my main goal is to make your lessons fun, rewarding and enjoyable (as music making should be!) whilst supporting and encouraging you every step of the way in your development.

I am dedicated to ensuring that online music lessons are as effective and engaging as in-person lessons; please don’t hesitate to get in touch to discuss options further!

In your singing lessons, we will work on building your technique and musicality, your repertoire in multiple genres as well as your confidence as a performer. I teach a solid classical based technique which can then be applied to multiple genres of music. As an accomplished pianist I will accompany you at the piano as you sing your chosen songs. (For online lessons I will find suitable backing tracks.)

In your piano lessons, for beginners - I will determine the appropriate starting materials based on your age, innate ability, and level of understanding. For those who have already been learning and are looking to resume their studies, I will facilitate a seamless and supportive transition. I will work closely with you to gain a thorough understanding of your needs and ensure the most effective path forward.

If you are interested in having both singing and piano lessons, you can have an hour lesson comprising of half singing and half piano.

I have over 10 years of experience in preparing students for exam grades, and work with the ABRSM syllabus and the Trinity syllabus. My students have a 100% pass rate, with the majority achieving a Merit or Distinction.

I look forward to hearing from you and making music with you!

Looking for an enthusiastic and patient music tutor? I am a violin, singing, piano and music theory tutor, who is classically trained musician with a Music degree. I can also teach Music GCSE and A-level and composition. I am especially passionate about song-writing, if that is something you or your child is looking for tutoring in.

In the singing lesson we look at breathing, vocal technique, language, expression and interpretation. I take much pleasure in watching a student grow and facilitating their development and helping them on their own path. The most important thing to me is that they enjoy using their voice and telling a story through music.

I have recently graduated from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance with a Master of Music degree with distinction. Through the developing of my private practice, I am becoming increasingly interested and deeply passionate about teaching singing and singing pedagogy. For me, music – and especially singing – is all about communication, between performer and audience, between composer and performer/audience, between teacher and student; it is about conveying a story and human emotions that people can relate to and that give us a sense of connection and belonging. This requires not only a deep understanding of technical skills, but also a sensitivity to the text and the way it is set into music, both melodically and harmonically.

Over 20 years experience teaching all styles/levels both privately and in some of the top theatre schools/colleges.
Students have ranged from West End professionals to complete beginners, 7 year old children to 60+ retirees!
Learn as an extra skill and to increase confidence, to prepare for exams, auditions, performances, or as preparation for a career in music or theatre.

Whether you want to sing for fun, be coached through the ABRSM graded singing exams, or brush up your understanding of music through theory lessons, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Singing Ethos:
My belief is that everyone can learn to sing when taught properly and holistically and can experience the joy of discovering the unique qualities of their individual voice. This is a joy which I share with my students and why I find teaching so rewarding. My experience is predominantly (but not exclusively) with children and I love to watch as their love for their voice grows.

What you can expect:
I believe it is important to teach with an emphasis on technique and vocal health, so from the first few lessons students learn about the body and the way the voice works. I address this through exercises and breathing techniques as well as songs appropriate to age and stage; (usually based around the appropriate ABRSM Grades). I strive to create a fun, nurturing environment where learning and confidence can be optimised.
I currently study with Sophie Grimmer, a highly respected and accomplished vocal teacher based in London who has performed at venues across Europe and London such as ENO. Therefore everything I teach my own students is informed by the world class tuition I am lucky enough to receive, (but of course adjusted so that it is age appropriate). This ensures that the tuition I give is always current and reflects the ever evolving industry standards for vocal tuition.

I look forward to hearing from you!

(Please don't be put off if below availability doesn't work, as this can be negotiated).

I work with singers of all levels, professional voice users and people looking to develop more confidence in public speaking. I offer a combination of vocal coaching, breath work and performance psychology to support you in making an authentic, confident sound, getting past nerves and feeling great about being seen and heard. I offer both in person and online sessions

I am here to teach singing skills to younger children, in the lessons I can teach them how to warm up and sing songs that vary in ability as they get better. I have had experiance working either younger children in a different setting.
I feel its important for children to learn this as not only will it boost their confidence, it will give them something fun to look foward to and will be a good skill they may want to develop further as they grow up.

Singing is good for the soul and I believe that everyone and anyone can learn to sing! I’ve been a professional classical singer for 15 years now, touring all over the world with UK-based ensembles and singing in some of the most incredible concert halls. I studied music at Oxford University and did a postgraduate in singing at Trinity Laban and am passionate about music education. I’ve taught all ages from 3-year-olds to 70-year-olds in workshops and on a one-to-one basis. I offer lessons focussing on vocal health and confidence, improving range, learning new repertoire or improving current repertoire, working towards exams and performances, choral singing techniques, or just singing for simple enjoyment! My approach is holistic as I believe the voice is an extension of our bodies and personalities. I also teach recorder, piano, and general musicianship to all ages.

Professional singer songwriter in band Cattle & Cane with 15 years industry experience.

Best known as one half of sibling duo Cattle & Cane, Joseph is an award-winning songwriter with notable credits for the likes of Lucy Spraggan, Ward Thomas and Alice On The Roof. Joe was also one of the first songwriters to have an official Spotify ‘Written By’ playlist.

Alice On The Roof’s debut album, which Joe co-write, topped the album charts in her native Belgium and helped Joe achieve widespread success across mainland Europe. Further chart success came closer to home, with long-time collaborator Lucy Spraggan’s most recent album ‘Choices’ hitting number 5 in the Official UK Album Chart.

Private, 1-1 singing lessons offered both online and in-person, for lengths of 30, 45 and 60 minutes as determined by the student.
You will learn the basics of classical singing technique, including advice on breathing and support, avoiding tension and overall sound projection. You will also get language help and tuition to help pronunciation of your music. You will learn how to become a better stage performer and grow in confidence as a singer. If you wish, I can also help with tips for improving sight-singing, and with music theory.
I am a professional countertenor, and a graduate of the Royal College of Music (MMus) and St John's College, Cambridge (BA Hons in Italian and French). I was a finalist in the Kathleen Ferrier Awards at the Wigmore Hall in 2024, and have performed as both soloist and chorister in concert venues all around the world, including the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Singapore Esplanade, Royal Festival Hall and Royal Albert Hall.
I have trained choirs with members ranging from 10 years old to over 70, so am able to teach any age as required and help with any vocal issues you may be having. As a former chorister at the King's Chapel of the Savoy, and the BBC Radio 2 Young Chorister of the Year in 2011, I know what it is like to be a young singer, so can help your child grow in confidence to meet their singing goals.

I am a classically trained pianist with a Bachelor’s degree in Classical Piano and a Master’s degree in Musical Directing, bringing over a decade of experience to both performance and teaching.

With more than 12 years of experience working with adults and children, including those with special needs and learning differences, I have developed a teaching style that is both patient and structured. I believe that a strong foundation in technique opens the door for true musical expression, allowing every student—no matter their age or ability—to discover the joy of making music.

I am well-versed with the different examination boards such as ABRSM/Trinity/Rockschool

Whether I am preparing a student for exams, guiding beginners through their first scales, or encouraging creativity through performance, my goal is always to foster confidence, discipline, and artistry at the piano.

I teach various styles and specialise in Classical, Operatic and Musical Theatre. I also work with singers who are in need of vocal rehabilitation after injury or other medical reasons.

Singing is an amazing skill to have, and it enriches one's life in so many ways. So if you're a beginner, you'll find how instantly rewarding it is when you see how quickly you develop and improve your ability to sing.

If you're an advanced singer or an industry professional, sometimes we can get lost with our technique and confidence. With the right guidance, it's amazing how quickly these issues can be resolved, and how a voice can be unlocked from certain constraints.

***About me***

I am a professional operatic tenor and a graduate of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where I completed my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, and continue to perform regularly throughout the country and internationally. I now have 20 years of performing and teaching experience, and specialise in teaching vocal technique and refining tone quality.

I encourage my students to develop healthy singing habits, while combining this with language coaching, interpretation and performance skills. I also work regularly with singers for audition preparation, industry professionals and also in vocal rehabilitation.

Learning to sing is the same as any other skill, and everyone is capable of singing well. Singing is unique to each person and I always adapt my lessons accordingly.
