Services
Below are the three main areas in which I work with my singers. Feel free to contact me with your specific needs.
Singing lessons
Whether you have an audition, a concert or are just looking to keep on top of your vocal health and stamina, regular lessons are a key part of your routine.
Personalised arrangements
If you have the dream song but is just too long for an audition or if you have several songs that you'd like to turn into a medley, I can personalise your music for you to suit exactly what you need.
Rehearsal & Backing tracks
I can record any of your songs in my home studio and send them out to you as MP3 files. Alternatively, I can create entire backing tracks from scratch for concerts / flashmobs etc
