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!

The Student and Tutor focused on vocal technique, starting with physical and breathing warm-ups. They practiced SOVT exercises and consonant articulation, then applied these to the song "Raise a Hallelujah," adjusting its key and working on generous sound production through open vowels and soft palate engagement. The Student plans to share a live performance recording for review in the next session.

The Student and Tutor worked on a Singing lesson, starting with physical and breathing warm-ups to establish core vocal support. They progressed to advanced lip drills and resonance exercises, with the Student achieving a new high note in resonance. The session concluded with applying these techniques to the song "Rewrite the Stars," focusing on melodic accuracy and smooth vocal transitions, with plans to incorporate classical pieces next week.
