TESTIMONIALS

Lizzie – soprano aged thirteen.
“I have been having lessons with Catriona for 3 years.
I really like my lessons as they stretch me vocally and I have learnt some really lovely songs.

Catriona is a great teacher who always listens to me and gives me great advice. I have definitely improved loads since working with her.

Since having lessons with Catriona, I have sung as soloist with a symphony orchestra, won first prize in a major music festival, passed my audition and I have been accepted into the National Youth Choir. I have performed with them at their amazing 40th anniversary concert in the Royal Albert Hall and I have passed all my ABRSM singing exams with distinction.”

I am currently working with Catriona towards my grade 7 performance exam.

Stacey – pupil’s mum
“Catriona has been teaching my daughters piano and singing for over four years and has been the most wonderful musical influence on both girls. Catriona utilises all her many skills as a professional practitioner and as a teacher she has guided both of our daughters, but particularly our eldest daughter through various theory and practical ABRSM examinations with great success. She has also supported her with various public singing performances, teaching her the art of performance, how to prepare, breathing techniques and how to express the story of a song to the audience.

She is a supportive, experienced and dedicated teacher with a direct but caring approach which brings out the best in both daughters. I can’t recommend Catriona highly enough’

 Mrs Y Zhang – pupil’s mum
“My ten year old daughter has been having singing lessons with Catriona for three years.

It is wonderful to see the very positive impression that Catriona has on her.

Not only have we seen an amazing improvement in her singing, it is absolutely evident that our daughter’s confidence has grown so much that she is genuinely excited about preparing for her lessons as well as performing in front of large audiences.

Catriona’s passion for music, her professionalism, care and immense ability to encourage young and delicate voices is very evident to us as parents. She keeps us informed at every stage.We are very happy to recommend Catriona to any parent wanting their child to learn how to sing properly and safely.”

Eva – soprano
“Catriona is the singing teacher I wish I had had more than 30 years ago, when I first started lessons.

She is a terrific, incredibly knowledgeable and skilled teacher and is helping me to get rid of some bad vocal habits and putting in their place a better technique, whilst expanding my vocal range. If you are prepared to work at improving your voice, she is definitely the right teacher for you.She throws all her years of experience into her teaching in a reassuring and friendly manner and I absolutely recommend her”.
