What can I expect in my first voice lesson?In our first lesson, we’ll start with a quick conversation about your voice—where it is now and where you’d like it to be. This helps me get to know you, understand how you feel about your voice, and discuss any areas you’d like to improve or goals you want to achieve. I’ll then listen to your voice, starting with a simple scale (don’t worry if you’re not familiar with this) and, if you’re comfortable, a short part of a song you’ve chosen. From there, we’ll dive into the plan we’ve outlined together! It is important to me, that you feel safe and comfortable in every lesson, as this is YOUR lesson and it is is tailored to YOU. So please feel free to jump in and ask any questions you may have along the way.

Where do the lessons take place?All lessons are held online via Zoom, which I absolutely love because it allows me to work with people from all over the world, right in the comfort of their own homes. I believe feeling comfortable during a singing lesson is essential; singing is a vulnerable activity, and being at ease can really enhance your learning experience!
-
Are online lessons worth it?Absolutely! Online lessons offer all the benefits of in-person sessions, with the added advantage of learning from the comfort of your own home—no travel or parking needed. Being relaxed and at ease during a voice lesson can make a real difference, and being at home often enhances this. Plus, it allows you to practice in the same environment, helping you to recreate and reinforce exactly how you felt singing during the lesson. I also complete all of my teacher training classes online, and I’ve found it to be incredibly beneficial for my own learning.
-
How often should I book voice lessons?There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as it depends on your practice frequency, goals, and budget. Practice is essential, so it's important to ensure you're doing enough between lessons. Regular, smaller practice sessions will be the most beneficial. If you feel you can practice daily, then weekly lessons would be ideal to continue your learning and progress toward your goals. However, if you find it challenging to practice frequently, then having lessons every two weeks or occasionally might suit you better, giving you more time to reinforce what we’ve covered. On the other hand, scheduling future lessons can also serve as motivation, encouraging you to work towards your goals and practice effectively.
-
I am a beginner, are lessons suitable for me?Absolutely! We all begin somewhere, and each lesson is personalised to fit you, your voice and the goals you want to achieve. It is my priority to ensure you feel safe and comfortable every step of the way, so we can make the most of your learning experiance!
-
What age should I be to take voice lessons?You can benefit from voice lessons at any age! However, we suggest a minimum age of 6 to ensure you gain the most from your lessons. As you age, your voice will continue to evolve, so it's important to keep refining your technique for optimal vocal health and performance. For those under the age of 10, we recommend 30-minute lessons.
-
How many lessons do I need to take to be a good singer?This is a challenging question to answer, as it depends on various factors, including your current level, our specific goals, how much practice you put in, any bad habits you may have, and your vocal health. Additionally, some individuals naturally learn faster than others, so progress can vary from student to student. Ultimately, it’s a very personalised journey for each client. Even when you feel like you're in a great place and at the top of your game, it's beneficial to check in with a vocal coach from time to time. Your voice will continue to develop, change, and age, and regular guidance can help you adapt and maintain this standard.
-
Should I share my medical history with my voice teacher?Yes! This is crucial because the voice is an integral part of the body. Anything that affects your body can also impact your voice. In fact, certain medications (completely unrelated) can affect the voice. We also all learn differently, so if there is anything we can adjust to enable you learn better and enjoy the lessons more - please let us know. The more information we gather, the better we can tailor the lessons to suit you, make reasonable adjustments but most importantly, make sure everything we recommend is safe! If you take medication and are unsure if this could affect your voice, click here to check.
-
Do I have to practice?Yes! Practice is an important part of the learning process. For example, if an athlete only trained once a week, they wouldn’t reach their full potential or improve effectively—it's the same with voice lessons. Reinforcing what we learned in the previous lesson is very important. During each lesson, I’ll ask if you’d like to record the lesson (which I highly recommend). This way, you can listen back and practice along with this recording as often as you’d like. You’ll also have access to the Client Area on my website, where you can find additional practice materials! Ideally, practicing mindfully every day would be fantastic, but I understand that not everyone can fit that into their schedule. Even just 5 minutes a day can still be beneficial. Research shows that shorter practice sessions spread little and often throughout the day and week are more effective than cramming a few hours into just one day a week.
