Voice Coaching - Singing Lessons
I advise on all vocal matters from “what to sing at Karaoke on Saturday” to Classical Lieder
Interpretation and vocal technique.
If any of the scenarios below are applicable to you and you’d like to try an introductory session –
Contact me now on 07905 – 618 184 or e-mail me on bookings@rivingtonvoice.com

Vocal Technique
When you Sing – does your voice get tired after a while?
Can’t quite get those high notes?
In my sessions, you will learn how to relax tense muscles to allow sound and air to
flow naturally.
We also give your vocal support systems in your back and abdomen a workout
and we work on agility and flexibility to increase your voice’s range and colour.
Are You a Chorister but would like to “Go Solo”?
Not sung for a while and would like to brush up the technique?
Blending in with a group and singing solo are two quite different approaches.
In my lessons, we look out for bad habits and find suitable repertoire and vocal exercises. “Rusty” voices can soon be dusted off. We’ll go check all the basics are there and get back
to enjoying
singing again!
We focus on: Breathing, Relaxation, Support and Tone

Repertoire
I’ve been told I have a Nice voice for Classical music, but I don’t know anything about it I’d like to audition for “X-factor/local choir”, but what should I Sing?
Anything you enjoy from Classical to R'n’B!
I will try to help you find pieces & styles which will suit your voice and also challenge it technically.
We will listen to pieces, sing and discover together.
We focus on: Listening, phrasing, lyrics and range
