Personal Description:
I have taught singing and music to all levels for 20 years. Many of my students have gone on to successful professional careers in singing in a variety of styles. I also enjoy a successful career as an opera singer and is currently performing for the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.
After training at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, the Royal Academy of Music and the National Opera Studio, I went on to become an Associate Artist of Welsh National Opera. Since then I have enjoyed a career taking me to all the main uk opera companies and many abroad.
I have recently performed with the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, Glyndebourne Festival Opera, English National Opera, Welsh National Opera and Scottish Opera. Internationally I have performed for Bregenz Festspiel, Saltzberg Festival and L’Ambronay Ancient Opera Festival.
I currently teach privately in London and Cheltenham and am the Founder and Musical Director of Cheltenham Vocal Academy. I am also head of singing for London Studio Centre Associates programme. I have performed workshops for English National Opera and given masterclasses as far afield as the UAE.
Future performing engagements include Cheltenham Bach Choir’s Mozart Mass in C, Tosca, Barber of Seville and La Traviata for Opera Brava.
I am inspirational, self-motivated and reliable. I am committed to developing musical skills, helping students to become independent and striving musicians.
Tutoring Experience:
2006-2008-City and Islington sixth form College London, a level performance students.
2003-2006 Theatre train, reading and Bracknell
Private tuition in London and Cheltenham from beginner to professional levels.
I also currently work with London Studio Centre.
Tutoring Approach:
I tend to tailor my lessons to each individual student. Generally I work on achieving a thorough knowledge of the basic technique of vocal performing whilst increasing repertoire knowledge. I tend to spend about half a lesson on technique and the second half working on music. As I am still a performer as my main job I tend to book lessons on a week by week basis.
