Creative Musician Masters graduate teaches singing, songwriting and performance
Did you ever ask yourself what your life would look like if you had more confidence?
With me, your goals and self-esteem are my #1 priority.
It’s estimated that roughly 85% of people worldwide have low self-esteem. This can lead to mental health issues such as anxiety and have a dramatic impact on our personal and professional lives.
To combat this, we must take special care of ourselves and I believe that working towards finding our individual voices is a fantastic way to do so. Working on a creative skill cultivates greater emotional health and builds our confidence as we improve.
I’m the right tutor for you if:
You’re ready to take action to build your confidence
You want to overcome fears around performing
You want to expand the range of notes you can sing
You want to discover your voice
You want to improve your vocal tone
You want to stabilise and strengthen your voice
You want tools to manage anxiety and become a better a singer through work on breathing techniques
You DON’T want to spend hours on scales or music theory
I wasn’t born a naturally good singer and have struggled with anxiety for as long as I can remember. I’m now a professional singer and singing coach, signed to a record label with over 3 million streams and although I still experience anxiety, I’m far better equipped to cope with it thanks in part to breathing techniques. It’s safe to say, I know how impactful the right guidance can be.
You can see it in the reviews from my students too - through my coaching, confidence blossoms alongside the voice.
Make this the turning point of your life.

What do I need to know before my first lesson?
- Lessons are available Monday-Thursday.
- Our first lesson will be spent getting to know each other - I want to hear what you hope to get out of your singing lessons and anything you feel is holding you back so that I can tailor lessons to what you're interested in.
- Please prepare something to sing for me - even if it's just a short section from a song.
- Lesson structure: warm up, technique-based learning, song work, cool down.
- Teaching typically takes place in my home in Headingley. I am able to travel to student's homes (for an additional travel fee) and teach online via Skype.

Cheslava
Piano and Singing tutor with 5 years experience and professional educationFrom my childhood I have been studying music and art: sang in choir and solo, played piano, painted, studied music history and literature, solfeggio. Later in college I have also learned choir conducting, had ensemble and choir singing lessons,
cultural studies.
During last year in university I had pedagogy practice at university and at private art school (where I worked as a music tutor before the war - piano, voice). I truly enjoyed working with students. They all were different age (8 - 40+ years old) and level. But all were very interesting and work was pleasant.
My education was very various: my core subjects were conducting, choir, voice, piano. So it allowed me to work with children, teens and adults with quite wide range of interests and needs: some students needed/wanted to learn particular composition(s), sometimes pop songs arrangements, some were interested in “introduction” to the music, some wanted to renew skills they gained in their childhood and continue their journey to the music world. In addition I prepared presentations (which contained information about cultural and historical background and musical and character/art analysis).
So after graduation from choir conducting faculty (which allowed me to deepen my knowledge in many important compatible branches) I concentrated on studying classical singing and piano, expanded my cultural studies and analysis knowledge, practiced solfeggio and harmony.

PLACES, FEES
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

Vocal lessons - Learn how to sing and how to use your voice in everyday lifeYou are using your voice everyday. Speaking all day at work, or with your friends at the party, sometimes getting your voice tired. This problem is common for the people, who speak with their vocal chords making their throat and neck muscles tight. The right way of using your voice and your vocal chords is going to make your life so much easier even if you don't sing. The singing requires many skills from using your resonators and vocal chords, to a correct breathing using diaphragm. In this course I'm going to teach all levels how to use your voice not only for singing, but also to make your everyday life better and easier.
