Self Confidence through Singing

“I met Georgia through Rock U, where I had joined a band. She gave a workshop there on “Vocal Health and the Five Pillars of Singing” which showed us some approaches to learning a song for performing. I really liked her approach to teaching the workshop, which included some theory – at an accessible level – and some examples, followed by exercises to try out the concepts.

I had only sung in a chorale before, but I decided to take private voice lessons in order to learn more technique and be better able to ‘own the stage’ when singing a song on my own. 

Georgia is a lovely person to work with, very encouraging, and she uses a lot of different techniques to work on weak spots, extend range and skills, and bolster confidence. 

My favourite song that we worked on is “Autumn” by Edgar Winter, which I learned ‘for myself’. It’s a song I love, and after really learning the score, I feel like I own it! I even rewrote the lyrics and sang it at a wedding celebration for the bride and groom – definitely a huge first for me!

Singing lessons have helped my self confidence in general and have encouraged me to adopt a ‘diva’ approach at times to make sure I voice my needs in group situations.”
