QUOTES FROM STUDENTS:
“I was preparing to go on the 3rd leg of Zero 7’s 2009 World Tour, and I realised I needed an intense vocal overhaul to get my voice in shape quickly. There were a number of songs for the tour that I was positive were out of my range, and I was concerned that I might cause damage to my voice if I didn’t sort these issues out.
I went to Anna for my first vocal lesson, and she literally broke down every part of my voice and technique that we needed to target, and over the next 3 weeks I went from strength to strength, hitting notes comfortably that I never thought possible. Anna not only enabled me to make choices with my voice that I could never make before, but she also gave me a huge confidence with her encouraging and reassuring teaching manner.
I would recommend Anna to any serious vocalist who wants to sing with choices rather than limitations....book your lesson now folks! ”

“Anna is quite honestly the best singing teacher I’ve ever had. In two years of being taught by her, I can do things with my voice that I never imagined I would ever be able to do before now, plus I’ve gained a much more comprehensive understanding of how my voice works.”
— Lisbee Stainton, 23 year-old singer-songwriter, launched in 2007 as the first unsigned singer-songwriter to play the O2 Arena
