“I signed up for the weekly online singing lessons with Charlotte, not knowing quite what to expect, and having absolutely no singing ability or experience, but a hope that I might be able to at least sing along to songs at social events such as church services, Christmas carols etc and the confidence to sing along to songs with my boyfriend who likes to sing (albeit conventional pop songs - the Beatles in particular). I would normally avoid singing altogether and was not even able to hum or get noise out of my mouth. Charlotte has been so helpful, positive and encouraging and her experience and passion for teaching singing shines through. The classes consist of warm up voice exercises and then some practice songs that we initially break down into easy sections. If there’s any particular aspects that I have difficulty with, Charlotte provides useful tips and practices to improve. So it feels very much tailored to my individual voice. Charlotte has also provided voice exercises to practise at home as well as providing piano recordings of the songs I’m practising. My singing and voice range has improved leaps and bounds in about 6 months, so much so I may have the confidence to join a community choir in the future and I do now occasionally sing with my boyfriend if he asks, rather than blushing and just saying “no, I can’t sing”. The classes are online for 45 minutes, and as I work from home, I can easily fit these in during my lunch hour. Time commitment is therefore small, and I can practise as much as I want in my spare time. I have now found a new, enjoyable hobby and interest in music and singing - as well as more confidence, not just in singing but generally. If you want to learn to sing or improve, whether beginner or experienced, I can’t recommend Charlotte’s classes highly enough!”
