HERE’S WHAT ANNETTE VOCAL COACH SAYS ABOUT HER TEACHING…
“My aim is to give you the tools you need to become the musician you always wanted to be. Whatever you feel is missing from your voice right now, with a little bit of investigation and bespoke vocal exercises, you’ll soon hear and feel the benefits of my voice training.”
“Whatever it is you’re hoping for, I’ll make sure you do it safely, and with great technique that will see you through your singing career.”
Annette provides face to face sessions from her home in Telford, Shropshire and online via Zoom. Either option will give you the very best experience of her coaching and teaching services.
PIANIST AND SINGER..
Piano lessons are also available both face to face or via Zoom. Annette has a great home set up for online lessons, with multiple cameras to show demonstrations from various angles, and an onscreen virtual piano.
Annette can help singers who wish to self accompany by teaching chord shapes, hand coordination and independence, and playing by ear.
”I love accompanying myself on piano. Singing and piano are my biggest passions, so to combine them is just awesome!”
“Although I had mostly taught myself how to play piano as a young girl, by the time I was 18 I knew I needed better technique and to increase my skill set. I took lessons until I was in my early twenties, and took all my classical piano exams with ABRSM.”
Annette offers piano exams with ABRSM and Trinity, but this is optional.
Weekly piano lessons are available – for up to date availability, please see the booking schedule.
