"I am two lessons in... and I absolutely love experimenting with all of this cool stuff. It's great to find out why we're doing these exercises rather than just doing them. Learning to sing properly is something I wanted to do for ages so I'm really glad I went for it...

The Voice as An Instrument
It's Time
“I thought you could just sing – or not sing?”
“Singing is only for gifted people”
*WRONG*
Did you know that if you can speak you can sing. You can teach those same muscles to sing because singing is just an extention of speech; and they really want to learn too! Those muscles are waiting to sing out with freedom, and enjoyment to better impact our entire life. it’s even been said that singing can help us relieve stress, overcome depression and live longer but it can be very confusing to know where or how to start to improve our confidence in our own singing. We all have a toolkit inside of us and a voice that is eager to sing out and proud! We just need to learn what to do & how to do it. That’s where our courses come in…
"I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop! Thankyou for sharing your knowledge and tips which are very helpful in many ways. It is also a pleasure listening to your vocal demonstrations"
