 It's lovely to get into singing as an adult. It helps us relax and express ourselves, while providing those well-earned endorphins!

Singing is a fabulous stress-buster as it  gets us breathing properly, helps the energy to flow and gets those feelings out! Many people feel as if singing gives them a therapeutic experience. The more  your  singing technique improves, the more control you gain and confidence grows as a result.

Also, singing is such an individual form of expression, and everyone has their own relationship with their voice. 

As well as being a singing teacher, I am also a qualified life coach, and use those skills to help people identify singing/creative goals. I try to  work with everyone in a way that suits them, towards achieving those goals, whatever they may be.

Some people have instant access to their voices and  seem to sing effortlessly . Others need to develop an awareness of how the voice works, and  build up technique and methods using a combination of skills, instincts and experiences.

I find that developing a fundamental knowledge of technique, and building a workable, enjoyable routine of practice into ones life (even if only a few minutes) can help development surprisingly quickly. 

Often, people who believe they "can't" sing,  simply aren't used to the sound of their own voice and have no idea of  the  keys and ranges that suit them.  

With individual lessons, many of these things can be improved very quickly, and I have never (yet!) come across a totally "lost cause" - a lot depends on what goals you set!

Everyone's experience of their voice is different, so it helps to find a method that works for you.


You may find you only need a few tips to get you started, or it may be a longer journey, and you find you really want to develop and take it seriously, in which case, like a sport, the more you put in the more you get out!

I'm always very happy to have a chat with people thinking of exploring their voice.

Vocal Health tips for community theatre show week

Recently, I have enjoyed coaching the Crouch End Players community theatre in preparation for their musical play "Sea Airs" - a love story set in my native Cornwall, featuring Sea Shanties and traditional methodist hymns, as well as songs from the 1980s. As opening night approached, the cast have been beset with seasonal colds, coughs and the usual Autumn term  lurgy!  Under these circumstances there is a lot of well-meaning advice given to amateur performers, some helpful and some downright destructive! But finding the right advice can be a minefield, particularly relating to amateur performers who have to work all day and perform in the evening, and who don't get much rest! I remember when I was studying at Trinity College of Music (now Trinity Laban) in the 1980s, we were lucky enough to have a lecture from the eminent throat specialist, Mr David Garfield Davies, to educate the singers about vocal health and hygiene. Mr Davies is laryngologist to the RSC and ...

"Can't Sing" Therapy

"Thanks so much for a great session today! I feel tons better than when I walked in..." People love a "good sing"!  It can help us relax, unwind and express ourselves, while providing those well-earned endorphins. Singing is a fabulous stress-buster as it releases the body's natural "happy chemicals",  gets us breathing properly, helps the energy to flow and gets your feelings out.    Singing together bonds and unites us, singing individually helps us connect with our spirit and our emotions. ....(and, of course, it's also good fun!)  Some people have instant access to their voices and  seem to sing effortlessly.  But what if you believe you "can't" sing? Too many people live with the belief that they just "can't" sing or have a "terrible voice".  One in fifteen people even believe themselves to be physically "tone-deaf".   In reality, only 4% of people have  Congenital...

Singing and Emotions...

Notes from a Holistic Singing Coach Inspired by some recent one-to-one sessions with my private clients. Don’t be afraid of your emotions when you sing - particularly when you start exploring your voice as an adult - with all the judgemental thinking we can bring to it! Very often, for many different reasons, people, myself included, can become tearful and emotional during their singing lesson - and it’s usually a really good thing. Some people feel grief for the lost years they felt prevented from singing, or being shamed about their voice.  Others can feel frustrated by their level of skill versus the level they desire.  As adults we are happiest doing what we know we are good at, and learning new skills can feel challenging to the ego and our self-esteem. Most are simply overwhelmed by the stresses of daily life, seemingly unrelated to singing, which bubble up when they finally spend time focusing on themselves.   But none of it is unrelated...
