Singing is a very personal thing and can be an important part of your life. Learning to free up your voice and sing in a natural way can mean a long and extremely rewarding journey. Building power in your voice and learning to present yourself as a performer can be very satisfying. I believe we can all sing. Whether anyone wants to listen to the results is another matter!!
We have all seen people come to the X-Factor auditions with embarrassing problems. Sometimes these can be overcome and sometimes not. Some people have lovely voices but they will need stamina to cope with the pressures of practice. Getting the grips with vocal technique can be challenging. I am having a lot of success freeing up peoples’ voices and supporting people to develop musically.

My early training was classical. This gave me a solid foundation of insight into vocal production and technique. I went on to become a singer song writer, composing and singing my own music in various bands and groups. I also sang in a medieval band, giving concerts in the West Country. I experienced the complete loss of my singing voice following a throat operation in the 80s and learned how to restore my voice through careful exercising. This gave me a lot insight into the sensitivity of the vocal cords.
