Tutoring Experience:

I have a decade of voice teaching experience in my private studio in both Perth, Western Australia, and London, UK.
I have also taught voice and music in schools such as Be Training Programme, The Vocal Coaches, The Sing Space, The Little London Music School, Lucy Sparkles, Charlesworth Institute and Hampstead Music School.

Tutoring Approach:

Corinne is an Australian soprano highly trained in Classical Voice (BMus, GradDip, MMus) and Musical Theatre (CertII) and Classical Ballet (CertIII) which informs her teaching approach for students of all levels. She has a comprehensive approach to each student. All students learn in different ways and come from different backgrounds and experiences. Corinne makes sure that she addresses the specific needs of each individual student and adjusts her approach according to what each singer needs whilst regularly addressing the fundamentals of vocal technique. Her main focus is improving breath co-ordination, breath support and body awareness for efficient, healthy and economical vocal production.

A personal letter from Corinne:

"I specialise in classical vocal technique and use this as a basis for all vocal genres. I address breath, vocal range, head/chest voice, intonation, resonance, vocal health and musicianship.
I have extensive training and performance experience in musical theatre and opera, working professionally in both Australia and the UK. I have enjoyed nine years of teaching in my private studio in Perth, Western Australia, and here in London, UK. I have helped my students achieve successful auditions into the London Contemporary Voices Choir, Western Australian Symphony Orchestra Chorus as well as preparation for University/Conservatory entrance auditions.

One of my greatest passions is teaching and although my focus is a healthy vocal technique I will always encourage my students to enjoy the process. I really look forward to hearing from you and helping you on your singing journey!"
