Vocal Tuition

Pippa teaches all abilities from the 'tonally challenged' right through to advanced and professional singers. She believes it is essential to develop the musician as a whole so that singers are equipt to sing within groups. Therefore, depending on the style of music being studied and what the student hopes to achieve, lessons can include...

vocal warm ups and exercises

singing songs, by yourself and with backing tracks

singing duets

vocal technique

theory of vocal technique (with practical demonstration)

music theory (with practical demonstration)

music history (when relevant to 'repertoire' being sung)

setting up your vocal with a P.A.

mic technique

sight reading

aural skills

improvisation


Pippa is a 'cross discipline' musician and can therefore include many other elements within lessons, when useful to what the student would like to learn. Pippa also has experience in and can offer the following:

lyric writing

song writing

music composition

arranging

production

live electronics

piano and keyboard playing


Pippa teaches all styles of singing and enters students for exams with the London College of Music or The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music, depending on which style they study. She also enjoys working with those students who prefer a more relaxed, exam free approach to learning. Each student receives an individual program of study determined by a mutually agreed plan of 'Aims and Objectives' discussed in the first few lessons, which is followed up by regular (informal) 'Achievement Reports'.

The beauty of singing is that you will only need yourself!
