Who am I?

I’m Emily – a professional singer with 15 years of international training and performance experience. Along the way, I’ve been a teacher and mentor, too, working privately and for major organisations and institutions. Just as in any other practice (think: yoga, meditation) I believe in great teachers and mentors – those who are just a little further down the road, holding up a light for others and saying “come; this way”. Alongside my performing work, it’s my honour to teach and share the knowledge that’s been shared with me along the way.

My teaching is strongly grounded in robust technique; I believe that in having the technical tools we need, we are able to lean into vocal trust, freedom, and expression. I’ve faced both challenges and triumphs and have built a rich and diverse toolkit along the way. I’m so excited to share it with you through this work.

the way i teach:

I deliver my lessons in transformational 5-session blocks, and teach exclusively online. Weekly works best, though you could also book fortnightly sessions as necessary.

why I offer 5-session blocks:

I offer 5-session blocks, because these blocks allow you to commit tangibly to the vocal transformation you crave – in a format that you can more easily integrate and commit to. I find this structure to be much more in-line with modern life, and the way we engage with other transformational experience; think: a yoga class pass, or a block of small-biz coachings.

why I teach online:

I’ve taught online for many years now, and it works beautifully – it allows me to connect with students across the globe, no matter where they (or I) might be. Students also find it allows them to more ease-fully schedule-in lessons (I’m a toddler-mama, so I know the juggle!) and to dedicate the time they need to vocal work, without also needing to factor in hours of commuting time, etc. I’ve also witnessed that students being in their home-space can allow a deeper “settling in” to happen; from a place of greater nervous system calm, we are able to drop more deeply into exploring meaningful vocal connectedness and expressiveness. 

Do I only teach opera singers?

No! I’ve worked with many voice-users, across many styles and disciplines. I work from a foundation of classical technique, which provides a rich palette for vocal expression across many styles.

I do bring specialist knowledge to my work with opera singers, however; I love to support young artists who are entering into or working in the international opera industry. This is a journey I’ve walked, and continue to grow in, so I love supporting opera singers with the specialist knowledge I’ve gleaned from master teachers and my professional work across the globe.

Ready when you are…!
Let’s go!
