« Christie and I have known one another for over ten years, having met in the music industry in New Zealand. I highly respect her talents and her integrity. She is detailed, positive, extremely knowledgeable, a superb tutor and singer, she is an astute and clever pianist, and is a thoroughly good person. She is also has a great sense of humour and brings hilarity and fun into her teaching and life. I recommend Christie to all Superprof members and all other persons wishing to have lessons. You will not regret it! »

Levels

All Levels

Professional, London based opera singer offering excellent tuition in an approachable setting to students of all levels

Methodology

I am passionate about helping children begin their music making journey, as well as providing advanced tuition to those who are already undertaking examinations, or wish to advance their current skill - this may include those preparing for school examinations, or university entrance auditions.

I also welcome adult students to the studio. You'll find me a kind and supportive teacher, committed to helping you achieve your goals and 'find your voice'.

Although I am an opera singer, I can teach you music theatre or more relaxed forms of singing if you wish it.

Experience

I have been teaching for 10+ years, and my studio has always included a wide variety of ages and ability levels. You will find me an approachable and encouraging teacher, happy to be flexible to your individual needs depending on whether you are seeking tuition as an enjoyable extra curricular activity, or in pursuit of continued technical and repertoire advancement.

I hold music performance degrees (Bmus, MA) from New Zealand and the UK, and also teach voice in an independent school in London.

I actively perform as a soloist both in London and Europe, so can give you first hand experience about the nature of being a performer, and help with any anxiety you may have around performance.
You might have seen me perform with Grange Park Opera, The Monteverdi Choir, Fulham Opera, Hampstead Garden Opera.

Christie is an excellent teacher for my daugther. She has patiently helped her through the grades developing her confidence. Christie’s enthusiasm and positiveness are definetely a plus! I totally recommend her.

Briar

I can’t recommend Christie highly enough. She is a wonderful teacher - patient, encouraging, and knowledgable - and a talented musician to boot. Would definitely recommend her!
