Services
1:1 Online Lessons
I am pleased to confirm that global online lessons are now available. I offer a fully inclusive and bespoke service, covering singing lessons for all ages, genders and abilities, as well as a wide range of musical topics and support. To find out more and discuss your needs, please get in touch.
1:1 In-Person Teaching
I run a private practice, Abi's Singing Room. This is the home for all voice work with my lovely students and clients. I run 1:1 singing lessons and singing for health sessions for all ages, genders and abilities. Pupils with additional learning needs are warmly welcome. Lessons are highly bespoke in nature and therefore slots are limited. Although each session is bespoke, the following elements feature in our time together; relaxation, confidence building, voice exploration and song study. To give you an idea of the topics and services I offer, please get in touch.
Performance
I hold a diploma in professional performance and have performed at a wide variety of venues over the past 25 years, including theatres, cathedrals, churches, private parties, clubs, pubs and indoor and outdoor wedding ceremonies. I am currently available for bookings. To learn more about what I offer, hear some samples and read testimonials, please click here
Weddings
I always feel very honoured to be able to help a couple celebrate their special day. I strive to make the performance reflect who you are as a couple and as such I am happy to arrange music that you desire wherever possible. I can also offer a recommended list of suggestions for wedding music.I understand how important a wedding day is for a couple and therefore I always include one or more consultations prior to the big day to go through the music and ensure everyone is happy with the final performance plans.
Theory of Music
When learning a new instrument, whatever it may be, people can sometimes feel daunted about also having to learn the skill of reading music, especially when this is completely new to them. I am happy to provide additional tutoring and guidance on the theory of music in separate, bespoke 1:1 lessons. I also regularly tutor and enter students for the Graded Theory of Music Examinations with the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM). The lessons can take place on a regular or ad-hoc basis, in the comfort of your own home via online video lessons. I offer regular theory lesson slots, as well as theory distance learning packages. Please get in touch to discuss further.
