My vocal journey

When I was 7 years old I was devastated to be told by my primary school that I couldn't sing. I knew I was musical and was yearning to be trained. A decade later – having finally been encouraged by an inspirational state school music teacher – I applied to Cambridge University as a self-taught countertenor. It took some time, but I finally felt confident about my voice. Fours years later, I graduated from Cambridge with a degree in music, having sung in the world famous King's College Choir, and founded my professional vocal ensemble, Platinum Consort. I went from being actively discouraged from singing to performing and conducting at the highest level. Now, with 16 years experience, singing is my life and career. I am an expert classical vocal coach who relishes the opportunity to guide singers on their own vocal journey.

Am I the right vocal coach for you?

You're likely a professional singer or an amateur with a musical background, you're looking to enhance your vocal technique through a combination of the Accent and Bel Canto methods, and you want to explore the classical repertoire with a greater sense of vocal ease and assurance. You may, like me, have a passion for Baroque and Early Music, though that isn't a prerequisite..!

​Singers come to me for a variety of reasons: audition prep, grade exams, professional concert preparation, exploring arias and songs for pleasure, as well as becoming more confident choral singers. Lessons can be video-recorded both in the studio and online – at no extra cost – giving singers an invaluable reference tool for private practice at home.
