Private Tuition
Develop your voice in a one-on-one basis in our private studios in Kings Langley. Each lesson is tailor-made for the individual voice by targeting specific needs for development.
Vocal Workshops
Group sessions are a great way to focus on particular elements of the voice such as basic vocal function, support, and vocal-sets. In addition to private tuition, this will help the student to understand and control the voice by isolating specific areas of control. In addition, for those who are unable to commit to continuous regular lessons, this is an excellent way to get a basic understanding of the voice in action.
Choir
Participate in a fun atmosphere with other singers and learn vocal technique in practice and performance. In addition, harmony and vocal blending will be a strong element in these sessions. An ideal setting for family and friends to come together and enjoy these well planned community projects.
Vocal Gym
The Vocal Gym is a series of CDs that is designed to aid the developing singer within their own practice. Not only is it a great tool to come alongside already existing training projects, but can be used for self-training as well.
