Professional Vocal & Piano Tuition in South Glasgow

Description

Hi! I am an experienced singer, pianist and teacher. I have been running my private teaching practice since August 2004, and during that time I have helped hundreds of students achieve their goals whether it be working towards exams, a performance/gig, an audition or just for their own enjoyment. I teach Singing, Piano and Music Theory, beginners to advanced. NB I don't teach beginners' piano - only beyond Grade 1 - sorry)

I can also offer help with Associated Board exams including Rockschool, and SQA exams. I offer individual or group tuition and I also offer voice workshops on request. I have a Bachelor of Music Degree from Glasgow University and from Trinity College, London a Licenciate Diploma in Singing and an Associate Diploma in Piano. I teach young people (from 5 upwards) and adults (no upper age limit) gearing the lessons to suit their individual needs, ie I can enter them for exams or provide basic learning-centred lessons which do not lead to exams. My vocal lessons are all centred towards breathing and “finding” the voice if that is required as I am also a 200 Hrs Seasonal Yoga teacher. I devised my own way of teaching yoga in 2019 called Vocayoga, which is basically a fusion of voice and yoga tuition.

My previous experience as a singer, keyboards player and viola player started in 1982, when I performed and recorded with several bands in varying genres, and I have worked professionally as a solo singer. My band, The Calloways had a single produced by Jo Callis of the Human League and was played on John Peel’s show on Radio 1, leading to a slot at BBC 1’s John Peel Roadshow in Chambers St Student Union in Edinburgh. I am currently busy with an EP release, you can find me on socials under "Vyvoka".

I can help with songwriting and have helped previous school students with their compositions for Higher Music.

I teach the Associated Board syllabus together with Rockschool and Trinity Rock and Pop, and enter pupils each year for the Glasgow Music Festival (see “Upcoming Events”) 4 of my singing students and 2 of my piano students have gone on to win their respective classes at this Festival, and a piano student of mine won “Uddingston’s Got Talent” (2011).

I have an Enhanced Disclosure and Emergency First Aid at Work Certificate SQAF Level 6, both of which are up to date. I am also a member of the Independent Society of Musicians.

Just a mention, I am happy to work with neurodivergent students, however do please do advise me of this whether lessons are for yourself or your child, it helps if I am in the loop!

Look forward to hearing from you soon
