About your vocal coach

Hi, I’m Zara — a passionate singing tutor with a diploma in Music Performance, dedicated to helping you find your unique voice and build confidence through music. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, I offer supportive, personalized lessons tailored just for you. I'm a nurturing, understanding teacher that encourages mistakes and learning from them, this is a no-judgement safe space to learn! My specialty is vocals, but I’m a musician of many colours: I’ve been an active performer for two years, gaining valuable experience at local venues and dedicating over 300 hours to practice. I believe in continuous growth, striving to be the best version of myself — as a vocalist, artist, and teacher. Beyond singing, I also have years of experience tutoring instruments like guitar, piano, bass, and ukulele. Additionally, I bring industry experience in Music Event Management, Radio Hosting, and Event Hosting. I’m available Mondays and Tuesdays between 11 AM and 6 PM BST, providing a relaxed and encouraging environment where you can develop at your own pace. Let’s make your singing journey enjoyable and rewarding together! **NOTE FOR DEMOS** - If possible, try to book a demo on Monday or Tuesdays as I a completely free to teach on those days.

Singing lessons overview

My teaching approach centers around personalized tutoring that is breathing-focused, engaging and confidence building. I specialise in Pop singing, Jazz singing and general singing lessons for students who are beginners to intermediate - or just looking to refine your skills! You are not too young or too old to learn singing, no matter where you are in your journey, I'm here to help. I ensure my students build confidence whilst learning with me, all questions are welcome, curiosity to learn is best. My strengths as a teacher lies in fostering supportive and encouraging environment, students will progress to a confident version of themselves, and become proud of the growth and targets they reach. I am also disability friendly, no matter who you are and what your requirements be, I will be able to help you feel comfortable in class. Our demo classrooms will be operating via Google Meet, (or Wiingy's call function if you enrol with me) to encourage an immersive learning experience online. By incorporating several tools such as vocal tuning, pitch tracking, scales, and vocal warm-ups/exercises, you will receive in-depth feedback on your vocal technique, control, and progress — all in real time. Each session is designed to help you grow with clear goals, personalized exercises, and supportive guidance to bring out the best in your voice.
