Your singing lesson questions

Yes. You do not need a polished performance or experience of exams to begin. Tell me what you enjoy singing and we can choose a comfortable starting point, working on a short phrase and building from there.

I teach adults and children from age seven, from complete beginners to advanced singers. For younger children, a half-hour lesson can be a useful starting point.

Absolutely. Exams are optional. You can work on songs you enjoy, develop your confidence or prepare for a performance without following a graded syllabus.

We can begin with a short, familiar song section and take time to build confidence. Performance work can include communicating the words, preparing an entrance and understanding how posture and breathing support a phrase.

Bring water, any music or lyrics you would like to explore and a few ideas about your goals. Check the edition before buying exam music. If you have an audition or competition, send the requirements and deadline in advance.

Lessons connect vocal exercises with songs. We can work on posture, breathing, pitch, diction and performance, then apply a specific idea to a phrase of music. We finish with a clear focus for practice between sessions.

My specialism is opera and classical singing, and I also teach folksong, musical theatre, pop and singer-songwriter repertoire. We can build a sound technical foundation and apply it to the music that interests you.

Yes. I prepare pupils for ABRSM singing grades, including repertoire, sight-reading and aural work. I also help with auditions, competitions and Eisteddfodau. Discuss the requirements and timescale with me before entering.

Yes. I am a first-language Welsh speaker and offer singing tuition in English or Welsh. I can help with Welsh-language repertoire and preparation for school, Urdd and local Eisteddfod competitions.

Singing lessons with Angharad cost £25 for 30 minutes or £44.50 for an hour. Lessons are pay as you go, weekly, fortnightly or at another agreed frequency.

Weekly lessons give you regular feedback; fortnightly or other agreed arrangements are also possible. Choose a pattern that fits your time and budget and leaves space for practice. Ask about current availability rather than assuming a particular day is free.

Please give at least 48 hours’ notice to cancel or rearrange. The existing booking policy provides for the full lesson fee with less notice, subject to fairness, any costs saved or replacement booking, and your statutory rights. Please confirm the arrangements before booking.

Parents are welcome to sit in on lessons or discuss drop-off arrangements. Please agree the practical details before the first session.
