This can only be achieved if there is a certain amount of practicing involved. Read More

It doesnt necessarily matter how experience they all as my usual students get up to speed within the space of a month, if not shorter. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

I create a custom lesson plan for each student, as every voice is different, and everyone comes with a different set of goals in mind. Every student can expect to be asked what their goals are, whether they are just to have fun and sing, work towards competing in local competitions, or to audition for a choir or show, and lessons and repetoire will be based on those goals.
