Teaching with a
Classical Basis
Rhiannon has spent over a decade training in classical singing, with a First Class Honours degree in Voice from one of the UK’s top music conservatoires (RNCM).
Rhiannon believes that the classical method offers a safe, healthy and flexible platform, which all other singing styles can be based on no matter the long term objective.
Rhiannon loves to teach students of all ages and abilities. Over the years she has learnt that, along with facilitating the process of becoming a better, more proficient vocalist and musician, lessons can:
- Help students connect body and voice, utilising the body’s natural efficiency
- Strengthen inner confidence, particularly in children
- Enhance social skills, particularly in children
- Connect students with their own innate creativity
- Provide a therapeutic doorway to enhance students’ sense of agency and promote overall wellbeing
…All this, and it’s fun to boot!
