Lidya - Get to know your vocal coach

With over a decade of performance experience, I offer professional vocal tuition tailored to aspiring and established singers alike. Specialising in rock and metal, I bring real-world touring experience from stages across the UK and Europe, giving students practical insight into both performance and vocal longevity. In addition to rock and metal, I have extensive experience in musical theatre and pop, allowing me to support a wide range of vocal styles and goals. Whether you’re looking to strengthen powerful clean vocals, develop controlled grit, or safely execute harsh and extreme techniques, I provide structured, technique-focused training to help you expand your range and confidence. My teaching is grounded in a strong understanding of vocal anatomy, ensuring that every technique is approached with both power and safety in mind. I’m passionate about helping singers unlock their authentic sound while building healthy, sustainable vocal habits. Each lesson will be tailored to each individuals skill level and experience - all are welcome! Book your first lesson today and let's unlock your full vocal potential together, harmonise your talent with expert guidance for any level.

Singing lessons highlights

My teaching approach is entirely student-centred. Every lesson is tailored to the individual, taking into account their current skill level, vocal strengths, goals, and learning style. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced vocalist refining advanced techniques, I design sessions that meet you where you are and build from there. I prioritise practical, hands-on learning. While I’m happy to recommend useful apps and digital tools where appropriate, I favour a more analogue approach — working directly with your voice through focused exercises, repetition, and the simple use of backing tracks to develop musicality, timing, and stage-ready performance skills. A core part of my methodology is building both vocal ability and vocal confidence. Technique is important, but so is mindset. I create a supportive environment where you can experiment, grow, and push your limits safely. Through consistent technical development and performance-focused training, my aim is to help you become a stronger, more confident, and self-assured vocalist
