Music Theory, Rock School Exams, Highers:

I teach music theory as well as contemporary vocals, and have prepared pupils for their Rock School Vocal exams, so get in touch if you need some help with passing exams or auditions.

Singer-Songwriters:

I often work with singer-songwriters on polishing their songs. We spend time analyzing their songwriting process and we look at the way they approach harmony and melody. We discuss subjects that range from style specific vocal production when in studio to looking after their voices when on tour.
