Frequently asked questions

Do you teach kids and beginners?

Absolutely! I love teaching absolute beginners. Everyone is on their own vocal journey — my studio welcomes students from 8 years old through to adults. No experience needed.

What should I bring to my first lesson?

Bring one or two songs you love listening to or love to sing — this helps me understand where you're at and your personal style. If you have an audition or repertoire book, bring that too. Don't forget a water bottle and a pencil!

What payment methods do you accept?

Direct deposit or cash is preferred. Lessons can be paid weekly, monthly or by the school term. All payment is required upfront, and invoices include a pay-now option.

Where are you located?

My studio is in Surrey Hills in Melbourne's eastern suburbs. Online lessons are available via Zoom for students anywhere in Australia.

What styles do you teach?

Contemporary, musical theatre, pop, classical and everything in between — including belting technique. Every lesson is tailored to your voice, your goals and the music you love.

Can you help with AMEB exams?

Yes — I offer full AMEB Comprehensive and Repertoire exam preparation. A $100 admin fee per exam applies in addition to standard lesson fees.
