Singing Lessons
Hi, I’m Emma! I’m a professional singer and vocal coach living in Canberra the capital of Australia
I LOvE to coach and sing everything from Mary Poppins to Adele, Simon and Garfunkel to Bach, Backstreet Boys to Les Miserables. I coach vocals in the genres of celtic, pop, folk, classical and absolutely all things Disney (this goes for the guys too!)
Within the first one or two lessons you have with me, we’ll spend time getting to know each other, discovering your range and exploring your vocal tone. AND have fun doing all of that of course! Bring your fave song from ABBA, Moana, R.E.M or Bach to me and we can go from there! If you’re a member of a choir this is a fabulous place to fine tune your parts and work on harmonies!
Regular lessons start with a vocal warm up tailored to your individual song choice using exercises specific to your voice, and within the 30 minutes can usually work on one song in depth or look at two or three songs to sing through which can be super helpful in choosing genres and specific songs.
Lessons over the course of a few weeks will cover everything from learning the fundamentals of voice, good vocal health, extending vocal range, improving vocal tone, genre-appropriate treatment of the voice, musicality and musicianship (learning how to read music and understand the way music is written and composed).
If you’re an adult who’s looking to re-spark a passion or learn a new skill, have a child who doesn’t stop singing and you’d love it to be in tune (!) or perhaps an older member of a choir that would love to be stronger in their part I can’t wait to hear from you! I also work with advanced students for audition prep for shows plays and musicals, reach out to me wherever you’re at and I can’t wait to work with you!
Unless you’re a Canberra based student we will be conducting lessons via Zoom or an online platform, if you have a tablet or a laptop you’re ready to go! A speaker or second laptop/tablet you can play backing tracks with will be really helpful too! See you on the other side of the camera ☺️

Hi, I’m Emma! I’m a professional singer and vocal coach living in Canberra the capital of Australia
I originally trained in Early Renaissance and classical music, singing for many years in professional quartets and ensembles across the country but as a teacher I LOvE to coach and sing everything from Mary Poppins to Adele, Simon and Garfunkel to Bach, Backstreet Boys to Les Miserables. I often train vocals in the genres of Celtic, pop, folk, classical and of course ALL things Disney.
I started my love of professional singing in the Sydney Children’s Choir at a young age, singing on the soundtrack to the movie Moulin Rouge and performing in the 2000 Sydney Olympic opening ceremony. I studied early music and choral skills at Sydney University, touring as a member of the Conservatorium Chamber choir and went on to study early music at Ormond College and the school of early music in Melbourne.
In my years of teaching in schools and colleges I have loved working with young children and have had fabulous fun coaching senior college kids in musical theatre and competitions. Privately I have worked with all ages from young children through adults, often interested in re-sparking an old passion or simply desiring to learn a new skill. I’ve also had retirees come to bring some joy into their life and share their new found music knowledge with their choirs!
If reading this makes you excited to learn from me sign up now! You’ll learn excellent fundamentals on how the voice works, vocal health, musicianship (reading music and sight singing, have help with song choice, explore your range, improve your tone and address performance anxiety. I will tailor each lesson course individually to your needs and provide you with the resources you require, but most of all, we’ll have a lot of fun and you’ll absolutely be happier for giving your body some endorphin creating singing love!
Contact me today if you’d like to sing with me or perhaps are interested in lessons for your child or another person in your life. We all deserve to live life to the full and this is a fantastic step in the right direction! I mostly will be offering online zoom lessons however if you live in the ACT I have a private home studio.
See you on the other end of the camera!
