What do I need to bring to my 1st session?
I simply need to hear your voice and see how you are currently producing your sound, feel free to bring along either a piece of music with or without backing track that you know fairly well, and be prepared to sing unaccompanied.  All of the above is not essential for beginners, who are encouraged to come as you are!

Your lessons (especially warm ups and exercises) will be recorded via computer so please bring a blank recordable cd. We will transfer the recorded lesson to cd so that you have your own personalised practice cd for home use. You will also receive a personalised plan that will include everything from anatomy of the voice to personal goal setting.


What should I expect to do?
My aim initially is to listen to your sound so I can identify any imbalances. A voice assessment  will form the basis of the type of exercises I give to help balance the voice out. At your first session, along with specific exercises that will help YOUR voice develop and let go of bad habits, we will look at how your voice works and other hot topics such as breathing technique!

It is also a chance for me to find out a little about your journey so far and a chance for you to feel comfortable and happy with what you will be learning. You may find yourself singing some strange sounds and having a giggle at the same time! We can work on songs of your own choice as well as recommendations. I encourage songwriters and bands to work on their own material.


I really appreciate everything Angela has done for me. She has built my confidence so much with singing. I'm very grateful to have her as a teacher, she has brought me completely out of my shell, she teaches you to just let go and sing your heart out. And doing that has given me such an adreneline rush it has brought me to tears. Even when I've struggled she always given me another dynamic way to think about it. She always pushes me to my full potential, and is a great inspiration. :)
