About the lesson

Hello, I am a professional musician and teach from my home studio on Abbey Road, Torry. I am 5 mins drive/15 mins walk from Union Square, easily accessible by bus.

- Which subject(s) do you teach?

I teach singing in any genre, most of my pupils are adult beginners who would like to learn pop/musical theatre songs. I also teach children from aged 8 years upwards.

- Tell me about your qualifications.

I have an BMus 2:1 Hons in Music Performance performing as a Senior Choral Scholar. I also have my Grade 8 ABRSM Singing with Distiction and Grade 5 ABRSM Music Theory with Merit.

Since graduating from university I have kept learning; I am working towards a postgraduate certificate in Kodaly education. I have passed Kodaly Musicianship 1 and Kodaly Methodology 1.

- How much do you charge?

£35 per hour, £17.50 per half hour.
I have discounts for group lessons: Buy a set of five 1/2 hr lessons for £69, five hour lessons for £139, so effectively you receive the fifth lesson free.

- Where do you teach?

I teach from my home studio, which is a converted outhouse in my garden.

- When are you available?

Monday to Saturday 10am - 9pm.
Availability varies from week to week; unlike most music schools I do not charge on a 'per term' basis. I feel it's important to give pupils the flexibility to come for lessons when they wish, and provide discounts for repeat bookings.

- Which ages and levels do you teach?

I teach from approximately 8 yrs old upwards.

I am qualified to teach up to University degree level in voice.

- Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?

I can prepare students for Associated Board of Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) exams and London College of Music (LCM) exams.

- Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.

I can tutor online using Skype and my home broadband.

- Do you have a personal message for students?

I went back to university as a mature student to study music, sometimes it takes a while to build up the confidence to pursue it. Don't let fear hold you back from your ambition.

I've been attending lessons for nearly 2 months and Im very happy with how its going. I was surprised at how much is involved in singing, Its not a case of simply turning up and opening your mouth! I now find singing easier, nicer sounding and as the weeks go by Im gaining more control through various exercises and practice. I was a bit apprehensive at first but you soon feel at home with a warm welcome and some tea! Id recommend JCN to anyone who would like to learn how to sing!
