FAQs

Q: What is the difference between a Singing lesson & Vocal Coaching?

A: In my Singing Lessons the focus will be on developing your breath control, tone, range & potentially songs for Singing exams. Vocal coaching is different as you may already have some experience in singing, however you will have specific songs you wish to work on for your repertoire. We would look at these songs & develop your performance of the song.

Q: How do I pay?

A: When you decide you want lessons / tuition, a contract will be sent to you with further details, including payment. Please note, there are Terms & Conditions in the Contract which need to be agreed before our lessons / tuition start.

Q: If I am ill, should I still come to my lesson / tuition?

A: Please do not come to your lesson / tuition if you are poorly. Information about how these lessons will be made up will be displayed in your contract.

Q: What is Musicianship?

A: These sessions will be to support general musicianship. The sessions could range from musical activities looking at pulse, pitch & rhythm or learning music theory for exams. These sessions will be bespoke to the student & content / focus would be agreed before sessions start.

Q: Are you DBS checked & insured?

A: Happily, yes to both. I have an enhanced, portable DBS, which can be shown on request and I am insured through the Musicians Union.

Q: Where will the lessons be?

A: I teach lessons from my home near the beautiful village of Holt, on the border of Cheshire & Wrexham County. Peripatetic teaching may be offered. Please do get in touch for more information to discuss whether lessons at your home would be viable & practical.

Q: How much do trial lessons cost?

A: Trial lessons are the cost of 1 lesson. I am still in the early days of establishing my business and my time is my income. Thank you for your understanding with this.

Q: "I'm really nervous..."

A: This is totally understandable and very usual before starting any new lesson. In your trial lesson we will discuss my approach and what you would like from the lessons. Along with a person centred approach, I will use my supportive & kind manner to help your self-esteem & confidence develop. I have vast experience with people with SEN / ALN and can teach using Makaton signing and symbols (Level 4) to support processing if requested.
