Q&A
Is it the same as going for singing lessons?
This method differs from simply having singing lessons
as it is tailored to your own needs and is particularly geared towards
those who want to or are already performing to live audiences. It is
rather more like having a mentor or coach to work with you on your
approach to a performance, rather than a teacher who might focus
singularly on your vocal technique.
Can we meet before hand and chat through things before
I decide?
Absolutely – as there are 2 of us involved in this, it
helps if we get along! I often meet with prospective students prior to
agreeing to work with them in order to be sure I can really help and
that we are both happy spending an hour together on a regular basis.
How many sessions will I need?
If we chose to work together we will make that
decision together. Some people want regular coaching on an on-going
basis for an indefinite time, for them we are in regular contact, on the
phone and I give them support and appraisals at live gigs. Others want
help in specific areas that may need a session a fortnight for 3 months.
For others I design a specific say 8 or 12 week course that can be
followed and then at the end we decide if working together further is
appropriate. So, in short the answer to this one is I don’t know, that
depends on you. And, like all things… without regular practice
improvement will be slow – however motivation is part of my job so don’t
worry about that.
How long is a session and much does it cost?

* Advance booking rate is for
6 or more lessons booked and paid for in advance. |
What’s a performance appraisal?
The best way of working together is for me to see what
you are doing currently, so that we can work from a point that we both
have comprehension of. So I will come along to your next performance and
watch you do your stuff. Following this I will give you an honest
appraisal of the good things and those that need improving. Cost £25.00
(dependent upon location).
Can I buy lessons as a gift or a present for someone
else?
 Yes.
If you want to make a gift of one lesson or a series of lessons give me
a ring to discuss it. When you are happy that this is the right gift I
can provide you with a personalised gift certificate for you to present. |
