About Valerie
I’m a singing tutor with over 6 years of experience and a Licentiate of Music in Voice. I specialize in working with adult beginners, hobbyists, and those returning to singing after a break. My lessons offer a low-pressure, encouraging space where you can feel comfortable exploring your voice at your own pace. I focus on breathwork, vocal relaxation, and posture to help you sing with ease and confidence. Mindfulness in music is an important part of my teaching, allowing you to connect deeply with your voice and the songs you love. I guide tone development gently, tailoring techniques to suit your unique sound. I teach a variety of genres including Jazz, Folk, Blues, and Contemporary Adult styles. Singing is more than just technique—it’s a form of self-care, creativity, and confidence that anyone can enjoy. Whether you want to start fresh or pick up where you left off, I’m here to support your journey. It’s never too late to find joy in singing. Together, we’ll make each lesson inspiring and fun. I look forward to helping you discover the power of your voice. Let’s start or restart your singing adventure today!

For The Soloist in Training, vocal wellness begins with gentle warm-ups like lip trills and humming to ease tension and prepare the voice. Mindfulness helps them stay connected to their breath, fostering calm and focus before singing. Hydration is key—sipping room-temperature water throughout practice keeps the vocal cords supple. Healthy vocal placement, with resonance focused in the mask area, supports clear tone and prevents strain. Tracking progress with apps like Vanido or SingSharp encourages steady growth without pressure. Using mindfulness timers and guided breathwork apps such as Calm or Breathe2Relax can center the mind and soothe performance nerves.
For The Church Ensemble Player, warm-ups can be simple and group-friendly, like gentle sirens or sustained vowel sounds to promote blend and ease. Staying mindful during rehearsals helps maintain joy and patience, balancing individual vocal goals with ensemble harmony. Regular hydration, with breaks for water, protects the voice through long sessions. Emphasizing forward, relaxed placement supports endurance and clarity. Vocal tracking apps help monitor overall health, while mindfulness tools foster community spirit and mental calm. Both personas thrive by embracing a routine that values voice care, mental ease, and joyful expression—making singing a lifelong, fulfilling journey.
