“The voice can be a battleground of conflict, causing tension and confusion in the singer.”
These are just some of the problems that I work with…
Inability to sing comfortably in the upper range
Problems in trying to smooth out those ‘flipping’ registers/passaggio
Vocal hoarseness
Too much breath coming through
Not enough breath coming through
Vocal fatigue
Lack of confidence in performance
“The key to solving these issues is invariably wrapped up in the foundations and can be fixed.”
Taking you to your goals step by step.
One to One Lessons
In your first lesson, I will make a full assessment of all the fundamental aspects of posture, breathing and sound production. We will also talk about your goals and what steps you need to take to achieve them.
For students who are interested in taking the ABRSM exams, I include all the relevant theory and aural training to take them through to diploma level.
Operatic Coaching Lessons
This especially focuses on preparing singers for performances, diplomas and those seeking careers on the operatic stage. I have helped working professionals reclaim a functioning voice whilst in a run of performances. As a former professional pianist, accompanist and adjudicator, I also have a unique insight into the world of auditions and can guide you through this process.
Masterclass
Masterclasses and workshops are a great way to learn. I will partner with your organisation / choir / group and tailor a session which suits your challenges and goals. You handle the venue and the singers and I will bring the masterclass to you. .
Online Lessons
In addition to face-to-face lessons, I also teach my long distance students via Zoom or Skype. During 2020, I discovered some surprising benefits to working online, so please get in touch if you would prefer to have lessons in the comfort of your home.
“If you book lessons with Julia you will not only learn to sing, you will learn to sing exceptionally well. She is a very professional and talented singing teacher and will identify exactly what you need to learn in order to enhance and bring out the very best in your voice.”
