Specialisms

I run Saturday Sing and specialise in community choir, harmony singing, healing voice and breathwork

Additional information

I run an established singing group, Saturday Sing in Hull which is firmly rooted in the principles of the NVN.  We meet roughly 7 times per term on Princes Ave Hull, for fun and informal harmony singing, with occasional performances for those who wish to take part.  During the Covid-19 pandemic I ran weekly online sessions and can explore online voice and breathwork with anyone interested.

I’m also a creative producer and often involved in projects which involve singing and choirs.

I also write songs for choir, and often weave these into sessions – the songbook has yet to appear!

Grounded in choral music in my youth, I returned to singing via folk sessions, and writing my own songs in my late 20s. I discovered the Natural Voice approach to choir singing, and became a choir leader with Hull Community Voices, for 10 years, before moving on to develop my own independent practice.

I run an established group in Hull, Saturday Sing which has been running for over 20 years, singing a variety of music acapella firmly rooted in the principles and practices of the NVN.

I am also employed as Arts Development Officer for Hull City Council, in which capacity I have developed a choral development strategy for Hull, ‘Singing City’, part of which led to creation of Hull Freedom Chorus – a project group with a membership of over 2,800, founded in 2011 and which continues to grow.

I offer workshops including  a capella songs/harmonies from around the world, taught by ear. I focus on the joy of group singing, impact of voice on health, well being & personal growth.  A breathwork facilitator since 2020, I weave together elements of breath and voice into workshop sessions.

I offer healing voice workshops and have a passion for breathwork, combined with an interest in sacred sound and energy work which informs these workshops.

I am happy to support individuals on a one to one basis, for basic vocal coaching and support with breath and voice.
