Testimonials
“The improvement in my technique and voice since our first lesson is unbelievable!! I will forever be grateful..”
– Patrycja Piasti
“What can you say about someone who gave you your voice back!? She’s as good as it gets. If you get lessons with her, you’re one of the luckiest musicians in the country! . . .
“Cysts on my vocal cords meant I was left with no singing voice. Clare assessed exactly what my problems were, gave me vocal training/physio that not only gave me back my voice, but had me singing better than I’d ever before. . . .
It’s not only the expert understanding she has of technique, but the awareness of artistic style that makes her so unique.“ – Anthony Stretch (Singer-Songwriter)
“With Clare’s encouragement I am now singing complex and challenging classical repertoire. I have taken on arias from my favourite Operas, achieved Merit and Distinction in two singing exams, tackled soulful jazz numbers and joined a first rate choir, none of which would have been possible without her. “
“Clare is an incredibly talented, supportive teacher and has the rare ability to engage her students’ imaginations.” – Hillary Fee (singing student from 2011)
“Each lesson is a perfect blend of technique and building a repertoire of the music I love and want to sing. “

“I was lucky enough to enjoy Clare’s teaching when she was in England a few years back. You might think that her teaching skills are only for the seriously talented. Whilst she obviously has ability in plenty to teach and mentor such fortunate ones, she is also a great teacher for those not so blessed…“
“Professional, gently encouraging, caring and hugely talented would describe Clare.” – Peter Buckle (performer Nefarious Picaroons, UK)
“At age 60-plus I have had an amazing journey of discovery with my singing voice. We had to start at the very beginning, mapping notes in my head and chest and learning to breath properly. Two years on and with your never failing patience, praise, and positive correction I now have the confidence to sing.”
