How 1-on-1 singing lessons helped Veronica find her voice and reclaim her confidence

Veronica always loved to sing. But between life, work, and a lack of formal training, it remained a quiet passion. That changed when she found herself at a transitional point in life – and decided to finally do something for herself.

She signed up for singing lessons with Thom Isaacs at Wiingy. A few sessions in, she discovered something even more powerful than pitch or breath: confidence. And with her vocal coach by her side, she learned to trust her voice – and love it, too.

Watch Veronica reflect on her journey

Starting the journey: “I always wanted to sing – but never gave myself the chance”

Veronica had never taken formal singing lessons before. Like many, she had a love for music but not enough time – or confidence – to explore it deeply.

When she reached a point in life where things slowed down, she made a decision:

“I finally had time, and I thought – why not do something that brings me joy?”

She looked for in-person options, but they were expensive or unavailable. Then she found Wiingy, got matched with a tutor from England, and started her 1-on-1 journey.

Real class insight: Lessons built around her

From day one, Veronica’s tutor focused on making each session feel personal, tailored, and inspiring. They didn’t just focus on technical drills – they chose songs Veronica genuinely loved and used them as tools for learning.

“He got to know me – not just my voice, but my musical taste. That made me want to keep learning.”

Discovering vocal technique: “I didn’t even know I had a head voice”

Like many beginners, Veronica wasn’t aware of the different vocal registers – she just sang however it felt right. But her tutor explained the difference between her head voice and throat voice, and how to use them intentionally.

“I always felt something different was happening when I sang certain notes – but I didn’t know what it was. He explained it in a way that made total sense.”

That knowledge gave her more control over her voice – and more confidence when performing.

Confidence without Apology: “Even if I got the key wrong… I just kept going”

What stood out most about Veronica’s coach was how supportive he was – even when she made mistakes.

“He told me he loved that I just kept going. That really stuck with me – not apologizing, just singing.”

Her tutor created a judgment-free zone where she could experiment, mess up, and grow – and that made all the difference.

A musical milestone: Tackling Nina Simone

One moment stood out for Veronica – when she worked on “Please Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” by Nina Simone.

“It’s such a hard song. I had no idea how many nuances I was missing. But my tutor showed me how to hear and express them – now I actually feel the music when I sing.”

From vocal flourishes to phrasing, the technical guidance turned into emotional connection.

A tutor from across the world – But still so personal

At first, Veronica wasn’t sure online lessons would work. She even tried to find in-person instructors. But her experience proved her wrong.

“I thought online wouldn’t feel personal… but my tutor was in England, and I felt more connected than I ever expected.”

She found comfort in the structure, flexibility, and emotional support – all from a screen.

What she appreciated most

It wasn’t just the techniques or tips that stood out – it was how seen Veronica felt in every session.

“He really listened. He didn’t just throw exercises at me – he made it fun, relevant, and mine.”

Her coach tailored everything to her voice and her goals. That’s what made the learning stick.
