Teaching in Singing
Emily teaches singing to beginners and advanced students of all ages. Emily is happy to teach the music that you want to sing, because she believes that if you love the music you will sing it better and the more rewarding your experience will be. Emily specialises in classical singing and has musical theatre experience too.

First Lesson
For your first Lesson Emily asks that students bring a song that they would like to learn or work on in their lessons. Emily will also bring some suggestions too, based on their initial song choice. The first lesson will look somewhat like this:
Chat through any aims/goals of the student
A simple warm up
Work on some basic techniques (posture/breathing/vocalisation)
Sing through their piece
Work on their chosen piece (dramatisation/notes/musicality/etc.)
Discuss what music they would like to go on to sing if they continue having lessons

Beginners
Before the lesson, have a think about what kind of songs you want to learn - pop/classical/jazz/etc. and bring some music along to the first lesson (If you can’t get hold of the music, let Emily know and she will try to source it for you). If you are wanting to do grades, then slet Emily know before the lesson and she can instruct you on the materials you would need to purchase for lessons. Emily strives to make all her students comfortable in their singing voices, so all you need to bring is a willingness to learn and have fun!

Teaching in Music Theory
Emily teaches up to Grade 5 theory. Beginners will need to purchase the ABRSM Theory books to work through and some manuscript paper. Emily will also provide supplementary worksheets for her students. Each lesson will be going through the principals of music including note names,...
