Testimonials
“Gemma really helped me to unlock the power in my voice. She also gave me some excellent tips for keeping my voice in shape on tour. I’ve never felt more prepared.”
I've been singing in the studio and live for over thirty years (with acts such as Marden Hill, The Takashi O'Hashi Project and most recently The Dissent) and until recently never took a lesson. After struggling a bit in the studio with my falsetto recently I went to Gemma. And in a single session she sorted me out. She instantly identified the problem and had me doing exercises to remedy it then and there. Within minutes I'd got my old power and precision back - and the next Dissent single's going to be all the better for Gemma's input! Gemma's unpretentious, pragmatic and completely professional – and she knows how to make sure you feel at ease!

After a bad bout of flu I damaged my voice and was unable to sing for 10 months. I saw an ENT specialist who said everything looked normal but 18 months on, even my speaking voice was shaky and frequently hoarse.
After one session with Gemma, I tried to sing some of the songs I used to love and was blown away by the difference in my voice. I finished up with tears in my eyes because I had thought that I would never get my voice back. I don’t think people realise how the right instruction can make such a difference to your voice: I’m from a medical background and it was certainly a revelation to me!
Gemma is a fantastic vocal coach with a genuine passion to help people. She is holistic in her approach and very shrewd - she picks up on the smallest of details which, when tackled, make big improvements. I feel much more confident about my voice now and empowered that I have the right tools to help improve it further.

Gemma is a phenomenal vocal coach. The lessons I have had with her have resulted in a genuine step change in my vocal ability and musical confidence. She has a real talent for teaching. To really listen to the sounds you make, to diagnose, to explain and then to tailor her solutions to your voice using her intuition and knowledge. She seems to have a limitless armoury of techniques which she can draw on, and she is not one to apply cookie cutter solutions. For many people, including myself, learning to sing is a daunting undertaking, but Gemma is someone who can really help you achieve your dreams. Again, a phenomenal teacher.
