My lessons are shaped around you, your voice, your interests and what you would like to achieve and explore. We might work on breathing, vocal technique, musicality, interpretation or performance confidence, depending on your needs and experience. I like to combine focused technical work with exploring music and finding your own way of expressing yourself through singing. I also teach piano, guitar and music theory!

I have experience teaching at a secondary music school in Croatia, alongside private singing tuition and leading regular singing workshops for adults. My background as a performer and my current Master’s studies at the Royal Northern College of Music continue to inform my teaching.

What matters most to me is creating a relaxed, encouraging environment where we can be curious and explore together. I believe singing is one of the most intimate and personal activities, as our voices are closely connected to how we feel and how we express ourselves. I want my students to feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes and trying new things without fear of judgement. My holistic approach takes into account not only vocal technique, but also the emotional side of singing and how our confidence and state of mind can affect our voices.

Whether you are completely new to singing, returning after a break or looking to develop your technique and performance skills, we will work at a pace that suits you and build lessons around your individual goals. Above all, I want you to enjoy the process, feel supported and become increasingly at home in your own voice.
