General Information about your Personal Singing Trainer
“Deborah is a fantastic singing teacher”
I give lessons to all sorts of different people at all levels of musicianship and who learn for all sorts of reasons. I have a huge amount of teaching experience and keep up to date with the science. For more information about my training please click here. Whatever your circumstances you are welcome although I do ask that you practice. Everyone has something to give and certainly something to teach me – in this way I keep my teaching fresh and useful. I keep up to date by attending Seminars and by consulting excellent colleagues to make sure my own technique is in good working order. My style is dynamic and physical, working with the body and encouraging movement. I teach most styles of music and coach technique to all musicians from beginners to professionals. Some of my students are singer/songwriters.
All students have an opportunity to work with professional accompanists either on guitar or piano. Both accompanists play all genres and styles, are excellent sight-readers and together we create a fun and productive atmosphere.
Using remedial singing techniques I am able to help singers and non singers with vocal production problems. I also provide post-op vocal therapy and therapeutic singing for those recovering from depressive illnesses.
All Students have the opportunity to perform and to make professional recordings.

Saying hello to the tongue exercise
My main teaching practice is based in Central London (either at Bluthners or at the Music Studios click here for a map). I also provide online singing lessons to students around the world.
I host teacher training workshops and have also run corporate workshops including for the Disney Corporation.
All private teaching is one-to-one. I work along side you and make sure everything is understandable and logical. No strange gimmicks. I ask simply that as far as you possibly can, you practice the exercises every day so that the body can start to free up and adapt. In this way progress is swift and fulfilling.
Remedial therapies are developed according to the problem: vocal wobble, uneven vibrato, metalic sound, roughness caused by overuse or strain, intonation problems or more physical problems brought about either by general disability or post-operation.
I teach vocal therapeutic techniques to those who have suffered depression, helping people to express themselves again. Learn more about therapeutic singing lessons here.
If you have a difficulty singing I am here to help.
