Sophie - Get to know your vocal coach

As an experienced Vocal Tutor with over 5 years teaching and 20+ years performing experience I bring a wealth of knowledge in my singing lessons. I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Musical Theatre from The Guildford School of Acting. My techniques specialise in Musical Theatre, Acting Through Song, Legit, Mix, Belt, Accents & Audition Techniques. I provide personalised learning experiences catering to beginners, intermediates, kids and adults (even if it's just for fun) ensuring each student gains a solid foundation in singing. From mastering melodies to understanding music history. I'm outgoing and friendly offering a positive, relaxed teaching manner. We'll go through different warm up methods, and songs of your choice. Focusing on breathing techniques, your range, tone and diction. I look forward to hearing your vocals :) Let's hit the notes together and get this show on the road!
