Singing Teaching for Children & Teens

Rock & Pop`and Musical Theatre singing lessons in Bath area for 9-18 year-olds

Unlocking your voice is a powerful thing to do when you’re working out who you are. Rachel builds her students’ confidence and resilience, encouraging them to try new things with their singing in order to progress. Students will gain an understanding of the theory and terminology of singing, improving their technique to ensure healthy voices. They will develop their repertoire, learning a great variety of contemporary music and/or musical theatre. And, hopefully, they will come away feeling capable, confident and secure in the knowledge that it is okay to get things wrong sometimes… because that is how we learn to get things right!

“I’ve never met a singing teacher who can bring people to life like Rachel can.”
- Rupert Gardner, Director of Music at Tring Park School for the Performing Arts

Rachel’s tuition can also help with GCSE, A Level and BTEC Music performances, Duke of Edinburgh Award Skills, and songwriting. Students have the option to take Trinity Rock & Pop Vocals Grades and/or Trinity Singing Grades (including musical theatre pieces). These can provide additional UCAS points in Grades 6-8. Digital assessments happen in Rachel’s teaching space, filmed and submitted by Rachel. This is a fantastic way to capture performances without the pressure some grading methods can bring.

Students have gone on to study Acting, Music, and Musical Theatre at institutes such as LAMDA, BIMM, Arts Ed and the BRIT School. Students have been involved in National Youth Choir and National Youth Music Theatre. Rachel can help with all stages of audition prep, from song choices and rehearsal auditions, to self-tapes.
