Sing for me......

Teaching singing lessons and vocal coaching was something I only really got into last year. Of course I have dabbled with it over the years, through taking groups, musicals, people asking etc and you can not be around music as much as I am and not share with people. But last year I took a step and took on some students. What had been holding me back was that i don't really play the piano, I can play for myself but for others .....no! 😅
But I realised that I was holding back things I had learnt and could share with people and that was selfish really. The funny thing was when I did step out I really enjoyed it.

I like to think of my style of teaching as pretty simple. I want to know that I can do what I am teaching and I can then explain what it is like for me. Which I find does help people understand it and or not feel silly when I suggest something just as silly or do it along with you. Growing up in a performing family I feel there is a lot that I learnt naturally and if not it was taught to me from a very early age but this is not the case for most people and so it is interesting to try and teach something I find natural to others. Pulled back and simple.

It has been really wonderful to see students improving, getting excited that they are able to do something now. To see with just a simple shift, things suddenly makes sense. Then because of that other growth happens such as confidence and belief. So I am grateful to see this happen.

I am still taking students, so if you are someone wanting to improve your voice or maybe increase what you can do with your voice or maybe you just want to learn some technique maybe I can help you!

Skype/online lessons are also available.
Contact me through here or via my Music facebook page if you are interested. I'd love to hear from you.


So there is a lot going on at the moment. I spoke about my Fringe show in an earlier post and it starts next WEEK!!! I am looking forward to sharing it with people and actually getting to it. 35MM: a Musical Exhibition is a SA Premiere and blends photography exhibition with music and is set in the beautiful Cathedral Room of the Adelaide Oval. I encourage you to get tickets and come along!

Also Aida rehearsals have started!! This is also an SA Premiere and a really lovely musical. Plus I am being joined onstage with some of my Soul Factor pals including my dad who is playing my Father again haha!! Earlybird Tickets are on sale already and available at http://www.hillsmusical.org.au/

Oh and one last thing, I do have a YouTube channel that you might be interested at looking at. I am trying to add songs and performances to this more often so you can see what I have been doing. I did just the other day add me singing in the Musical Big Fish, which if you have been reading my posts, know that I LOVED being a part of that musical last year and this is one of my favourite parts of the show and songs that I sang "I Don't Need a Roof" . So enjoy :)



Have a fabulous week!!

There's a bright golden haze on the meadow....

"There's a bright golden haze on the meadow....." Yes there is! Emma Knights Productions Oklahoma! on a Farm is BACK for its fourth season and opens this Thursday. If you have been reading my blog for a while, you will know that this is a special production and the role of Laurey is one I love to play! This year is the 75th Anniversary of the Production of Oklahoma! and so it is wonderful to be performing it again in the same year. Although in rather milder weather! The Farm, Four Oaks at Littlehampton is beautifully green and bursting with life. The animals are in full voice as in the wonderful cast. Immerse yourself in this unique family-friendly experience, a beloved classic with live horses, windmill, and a country fair of delicious treats & wares. If the last 3 seasons feedback is anything to go by, you will LOVE IT!! If you have seen it before, you will know what I am talking about and you should tell others. Or come along again and bring some new fr

All Shook Up!

I am blessed. A week ago I got back from an amazing singing trip. Cruising the seas, performing with amazing musicians and performers, 16 shows in 7 days, plenty of food and a ton of laughs - I am still smiling. The Cruise 'N Groove Elvis Meets the Legends Cruise was a fantastic week. I had never been on a cruise before so it was quite an experience, I loved the food and the weather was fantastic (only a bit of rockiness to contend with) and we visited Mare and Noumea in New Caledonia.  I am reasonably new to the Elvis world and so this was an eye opener for that as well but I actually loved it. Elvis fans are exceptionally passionate and in some ways quite a wonder.  I was on this trip as a backing vocalist with the Tributes in Concert Band or TIC Band and we backed all of the headlining Elvis Tribute Artists. So to the band first, what a privilege it was to perform with them. Each and everyone of them super talented (to the point, that I would get caught watching them at t

MMMBop and road trip classics 😉

Road trip singalongs are the best! Do you agree?  What are your favourite songs to sing? Do you have specific lists or eras or styles of music you listen/sing to?  For me it usually depends who I am travelling with but nothing beats a good 80s/90s song list.... So last weekend I was on a road trip to Halls Gap with my sister, my brother in law and my niece and nephew. We had a fabulous time singing away the hours to many a favourite. Of course the kids occasionally asked for a song they knew but we thought it was important we listened to the classics haha 😜 We headed to Halls Gap for NanaFest 2019! A weekend to celebrate the 90th Birthday of my Nana Dawn. Staying in cabins and tents the family came from Victoria and SA and shared a weekend of catching up, a party, jumping pillows and bonfires. I do love my family, there is a a lot of us and it is lovely to see the all the generations interacting and enjoying each others company. We had wonderful weather and my sister
