Louise - Get to know your vocal coach

Have you ever fancied learning to sing? Perhaps you already sing, but could do with a little external input? Maybe you're looking to start a new hobby? If so, then you might want to try singing lessons. I'm offering lessons to anyone aged 10 to 110! From complete beginners to professionals looking for a new set of ears. Please see below for info, and don't hesitate to get in touch if you would like to know more. 🎼💜 Why you should start singing lessons: • Improve vocal and musical ability. • Develop understanding of your breath and how to control. • Greater understanding of your body and how it works. • Build confidence in your singing, performing ability and in yourself. • Relieve stress - the act of singing releases endorphins, the body's anti-stress chemicals! • Explore other cultures and languages. • Hone acting skills. • Train your ear. • Have fun! A little bit about me... ✨I'm a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music and of the Royal Northern College of Music. ✨I specialised in Vocal Pedagogy. ✨I've been singing since I was 12 years old. ✨I am a Welsh speaker. ✨I have experience with teaching students who have hypermobility. ✨My aim as a teacher is to get my students to sing in a healthy, sustainable way, and for them to enjoy it!
