Student Development and the benefits of singing

Students have a variety of reasons to take part in singing: -

• For Fun!!!!  Pure and simple FUN!!!
• Social benefits - I run a choir and technique classes for all ages and abilities and there is a huge social benefit to these.  Making friends, singing together and performing together brings with it a lovely sense of camaraderie.
• Further career development - All students are welcome to take vocal exams and I offer grade 1 to grade 8 via Rockschool Performance Certificate.  I also offer exams in musical theatre from Rosettes to Gold via IDTA (International Dance Teacher's Association)  All students are welcome to enter these exams should they wish and these are the syllabuses I follow.
• For personal development - recovery from operation, trauma and boosting confidence and self esteem.  Singing is very good for breathing and any respiratory issues and singing also helps with any speech issues also (students will need to discuss any medical issues with doctor first)
• Audition practice - I can support students who need extra audition practice with any pieces they need to prepare
