SEAN JEFFREY:

Since graduating from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Sean Jeffrey (MMus BA Hons GGSMD PGCE) has established himself as one of the most versatile musicians working in the music industry today.

Having had over 20 years of experience, working as a singer, vocal coach, pianist, keyboard player and composer, Sean is equally at home in both classical, cross-over and music theatre. He has worked alongside such artists as G4, Willard White, Emma Kirkby, Sir Paul McCartney, Barbara Bonney, Sarah Brightman and Michael Ball.

He has worked musically on productions including the Number One UK tour of 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat' for the Bill Kenwright Company, 'The Woman in White' for Andrew Lloyd Webber's Really Useful Group, Nicholas Hytner's Olivier Award winning production of 'Rafta, Rafta' at the National Theatre, and 'The Rat Pack' tour for Premier Shows. He has also musically directed tours of 'Rave On!' for the RedHatt Organisation, 'Barnum' for BSS and 'Bugsy Malone' for Powerhouse Ltd.

Sean also worked as Musical Director for the Christmas production of 'Snow White' in London and 'Cinderella' in Birmingham. This Christmas he will be working on the well-loved classic, 'Beauty and the Beast'.

He is currently working as Music Supervisor for the new West End production of Jason Robert Brown's 'Songs for A New World' staged at the Player's Theatre.

An advisor to MTV, Sean works as a Vocal Coach for Sony BMG (Worldwide), SyCo (working with Simon Cowell), and Cherry Productions (Europe and Asia). As such, he is now working with some of the world's top performers and is truly international.

As a vocal coach Sean is currently coaching past and present cast members from shows that include 'Les Miserables', 'Beauty and the Beast', 'Mamma Mia', 'The Phantom of the Opera', 'Wicked', 'Avenue Q', 'Billy Elliot', 'Rent' and 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat' (West End Production).

As a testament to his ability, Sean is now teaching half a dozen London based Vocal Coaches, all of whom are professional performers and teachers in their own right.

His works as a composer have included scores for television for ITV 'The Secret Arthur', Channel 4 'Survivors' and the BBC 'Dirty Berty'.

His new film and theatre company, Sean Jeffrey Productions, will premier a number of new productions including 'Lord of the Flies' which will be turned into a new film in 2010, and 'The Diary', based on the Anne Frank story, which will appear in London's West End in 2010.

TESTIMONIALS:

"I went to Sean for an initial consultation several months ago. I had been to other singing teachers in the past, but they either confused me, contradicted each other, or generally did not seem to know what they were doing! Sean was completely different. He explains, in a very clear and concise way how the voice works, how to improve it with immediate effect, and how to progress forwards. After many years of confusion at the hands of other teachers, Sean has, in just a few lessons, taught me more than I have ever thought possible about my singing voice. He has removed all the confusion and mystique that other teachers seem to surround the concept of 'How to Sing' with, and has now got me into my first leading West End role. Not only is he a great voice teacher, but he is also a consummate musician and a great pianist, who seems able, at the drop of a hat, to be able to change styles. He swaps from rock, to opera, to musical theatre, to pop with complete ease. He is, without doubt, quite brilliant and I thoroughly recommend him!"

"I'm so pleased I contacted Sean. I had had no singing lessons before and I wish I'd had lessons with him sooner. Sean builds the voice and confidence with breathing and vocal exercises and, as I am a rock vocalist, has not in anyway modified the character of my voice. Singing for me now is free and easy and I can sing things I struggled with or couldn't sing previously. My range has improved greatly and I no longer have problems hitting low notes. The breathing techniques have also added power to my vocals. Sean has been very friendly and encouraging and I have found the lessons very enjoyable. I can't recommend him highly enough whatever your level or style."

"Sean Jeffrey is the best singing teacher I have ever had. He treats you as an individual, works with you to help you improve and build your voice and he is worth far more than the fee he charges. Teaching from an accessible location he has a knowledge and wisdom that is second to none."
