Opera Voice Lessons

With over 20 years of teaching experience, I have helped many students achieve vocal freedom. My own teachers include Eduardo Asquez, Andrew Field and Vernon Mackie, a pupil of Edgar Herbert-Caesari, the author of many books on singing.

About

  • Male

  • Teaching since 2002

  • Teaches students aged 5+

My students continue to achieve numerous exam, scholarship and competition successes, including recording contracts, entry into Sydney Conservatorium of Music, professional work with Opera Australia, musical theatre and film credits.

I taught at The Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts in London, the world's oldest theatre arts training school. One of my students there had incredible talent, and imagine my surprise seeing him star in a major movie.

Another singer I taught privately has had international singing success and recorded 6 albums. A lovely lady came every Wednesday night in the rain to fulfill her dream of singing onstage with a band.

Online lessons have helped new and emerging students create success through singing, and keep them dry! A current student came for advice on which style of singing to pursue. He sings classically, but was the first singer to be awarded an AMus in Music Theatre by the AMEB.

After overseeing The Australian Singing Competition, I wrote an ebook
Sing To WIN Sing To WIN: How To WIN Singing Competitions that outlines all the aspects of winning a singing competition.
Repertoire choice, preparation and the winning mindset are what separates a singer for success.
