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!

Singing concepts taught by Louise
The Student and Tutor engaged in an introductory singing lesson covering fundamental vocal techniques. They practiced physical and vocal warm-ups, including low breathing, gentle vocal cord closure, and semi-occluded vocal tract exercises. The session also introduced the concept of resonance, and the Tutor outlined a structured progression for future lessons.
Focusing Resonance
Semi-Occluded Vocal Tract (SOVT) Exercises
Low or Release Breath (Diaphragmatic Breathing)
Physical Warm-up for Singers
The Student and Tutor engaged in a comprehensive singing class, starting with physical and breathing warm-ups, including a new technique for incorporating lower back breath support. They practiced various vocal exercises like SOVTs, resonance drills, and projection techniques. The session concluded with detailed work on the song "Blackbird," focusing on adapting the melody to suit the Student's vocal range and eliminating a difficult octave jump. The Student was assigned to continue practicing the guitar part for "Blackbird" and the new breathing technique for next week.

The Student and Tutor conducted a singing lesson that included physical and breathing warm-ups, followed by specific vocal exercises like SOVTs and humming for technique development. They focused extensively on improving the Student's lower vocal range and managing transitions between vocal registers. The session concluded with practical application of these techniques by practicing a song, "They Weren't There" by Misty Higgins, addressing specific phrasing and pitch challenges.

Vocal Warm-ups & Relaxation
Student and Tutor began with physical warm-ups and reviewed diaphragmatic breathing, focusing on proper lower abdominal release. The session then introduced and practiced 360-degree breathing, expanding into the lower back and ribs for enhanced support and reduced vocal strain. They applied these techniques, along with resonance exercises and strategies for reducing vocal effort, to specific high-note passages in the song "Graves into Gardens," aiming for an open, consistent sound. The Student will continue practicing these new breathing and vocalization techniques.
