Singing Lessons

I am not an exam orientated singing teacher as I feel that singing should be about pleasure and relaxation and exams can take this focus away. I offer a holistic approach to voice coaching, incorporating nutrition, yoga, Qi Gong and Alexander technique to strengthen the singing voice. The aim of my lessons is to help the student to develop a confident singing voice for whatever style of music that they like to sing.

I teach breathing technique, pitching exercises and basic music theory. Some of my students are performers, some are studying practical music courses for which they need support in choosing and learning pieces, and others learn for pure pleasure.

Some students may present with a stutter, low self esteem, low confidence or a stress related illness. I believe that singing can help to overcome such problems and I am experienced in working with a wide range of ailments and disabilities. You do not need to be a music student to benefit from singing lessons with me.

For teachers, I adapt my 1-1 sessions to suit individual needs. For example, an individual may wish to develop a more powerful speaking voice or learn how to sing comfortably with their students in the classroom. There is no pressure to sing, of course, and for a high voice user who needs to strengthen and heal his or her voice for teaching, managing or call centre work , we cover spoken vocal delivery only. So, during a 1-1 session, non singers need not fear any requirement to sing!

Testimonials

“I have been having singing lessons with Beth Ford for nearly 2 years and I have enjoyed every single one. When I started my singing lessons I was very nervous but Beth put me at ease and has always taught me at my own pace. She has helped me become more confident and my singing has improved a great deal. I have participated in 2 performances organised by Beth which I really enjoyed. Beth has a great deal of knowledge about all styles of music and is very enthusiastic. I would definitely recommend Beth to anyone thinking of starting singing lessons.”
