Her approach to teaching is relaxed and friendly and lessons are tailor-made to suit each individual.

Testimonials
“Fascinating, practical, informative and inspirational an absolutely brilliant session. There are levels of mindfulness and self-awareness about singing that I have never experienced before in a 45 year career. Everything is explained in an easy, encouraging and confidence-building way. You are such a great teacher.” TW
“My lessons with Sally are always fantastic! I enthusiastically look forward to each weekly lesson and feel that I’ve made great progress. My range has extended and I’ve grown greater confidence in singing publicly. The advice, guidance, feedback and encouragement that she constantly provides has contributed hugely to my advancement, which has not been impacted as a result of many lessons taking place on Zoom. If you’re looking for a singing teacher then I would absolutely recommend Sally. There is no doubt that I’ll be continuing my lessons for some time to come.” Mark
“Sally is an excellent singing teacher and over the past year and a half has helped me build confidence in my voice. Adapting to virtual teaching was effortless and my singing has gone from strength to strength.” Harry
“I started taking lessons with Sally during lockdown. I don’t live in Sheffield so face-to-face wouldn’t have been possible anyway. I wasn’t sure how I would feel having remote lessons but it has been fantastic. I am now working towards a singing grade all thanks to these lessons” Matt
“I have been taking lessons with Sally for a few months and honestly cannot believe not only how much I have improved but also how much more confident I am with my singing. I look forward to my lesson with Sally every week. She is a very skilled teacher as with each lesson comes a new exercise to help with my breathing or vocal abilities. But she is also very kind, patient and understanding. My lessons with Sally have given me a deeper understanding of what singing actually is and through that I feel much more connected with my body.” Irene
“Sally is a wonderful singing teacher. She’s so knowledgeable about effective singing technique. I have learnt a lot from her, including so many new songs! I would whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone.” Georgia
” I was a complete beginner to singing and had no real goals in mind other than wanting to enjoy singing, be more in tune and have a bit more confidence with my voice. Sally has been very supportive of this and from the beginning has tailored practices and songs to suit me and keep it fun and the right amount of challenging. I always look forward to the lessons and whilst I am very critical of myself Sally keeps reminding me how far I’ve come and is very supportive. I’ve recently had a baby and I’m enjoying singing to sooth him with songs I was learning while he was in the bump, and that is all thanks to Sally!” Emma
“Sally is a fantastic teacher, very accommodating and easy to get along with. I’m so much more confident in my abilities since starting lessons with her. I’d really recommend her as a teacher!” Louise

My technique, control and theoretical understanding have improved exponentially, but most importantly, I now absolutely enjoy singing without reservation thanks to Sally” Elizabeth

“My singing lessons with you have helped my confidence in all sorts of ways, not just singing. I now feel happy about my sound and am much more relaxed about singing out loud” Sarah
“Another fantastic lesson today. I am so looking forward to my first gig. The patience and skill you have shown me has given me the confidence to sing the big numbers. Having reached my 63rd year to have learned so much from you in such a short time has been amazing. Many Thanks, Les”
