My Experience
I started my musical journey taking piano lessons at school. As I was learning, the lessons became the highlight of my week. I just loved making music. This continued when I started singing lessons and then started to sing with the school choir, which progressed to the National Youth Choir of Great Britain, then a degree, international debut with Latvian National Opera and now my profession. From half an hour once a week at the age of 5 to full time, it's an incredible journey.
In addition to performing oratorios and operatic roles such as Despina and Papagena, I have sung at the Royal Albert Hall, recorded at Abbey Road for Channel 4 and also appeared on Songs of Praise with Andrea Bocelli and Katherine Jenkins. Having a professional singing career and performing regularly allows me to understand how to help my students best with the performance side of singing, such as nerves, anxiety, stagecraft and expression.
In my teaching career, as well as my private students, I currently work with the London Youth Choir, the National Youth Choirs of Great Britain and previously the Eton Choral Courses. This ensures that all my teaching is up to regional and national standards. I have also successfully tutored the Whitgift choral scholarship application.
