About

Hi, I'm Sunday.

I am a professional jazz vocalist within the industry and a trusted and expert vocal coach.
I specialise in technique and performance, and teach using the physiology of the voice. I am also highly competent in music theory and jazz theory, and offer music theory lessons alongside or incorporated into our vocal sessions.

I graduated Leeds Conservatoire with a BMus (hons) in Jazz Voice Performance and draw from many different training theories to give you the best fit for you. As a vocal coach I know the voice inside out and the science behind it, so I can fix any issues you might be experiencing.

Issues could include:

* Vocal strain or fatigue
* Dryness or cracking
* Limited range or pitch issues
* Thin/weak tone
* Shallow breathing
* The voice breaking

What I can help you with:

* Breath control and technique
* Expanding vocal range
* 'Mix voice’ and the Passaggio
* Smoothing over 'The Break'
* Improving natural vocal tone
* Vocal health, maintenance and sustainability
* Performance ability and confidence
* Storytelling
* Improvisational skills (riffs, scatting etc)
* Harmonisation skills
* Aural skills
* Finding your voice
* Vocal flexibility and agility

My teaching style is based around the needs of my individual students but will always be fun and comfortable! I have a breadth of repertoire in genres such as jazz, pop, soul, R&B, musical theatre, gospel and singer songwriter that I can share with you and take you through, so don't worry if you don't have an idea of what you want to sing yet!

An example lesson format:

* Check in with goals and progress
* Warmup
* Vocal conditioning and isolation exercises (technique)
* Transferring these exercises into a piece we are working on together
* Singing and having fun!

If you’d like to start your journey as a vocalist or continue your path as a more experienced performer please get in touch: I would love to hear about your musical background and the goals you have, to eventually develop a bespoke plan for your musical development.
