Vocal tuition

As a professional singer, composer, and recording artist with a wealth of vocal knowledge to share, Jan teaches individuals and groups.

For more than thirty years students have sought Jan's original vocal teaching method, and Jan has successfully taught many, from beginners to performers, including name recording artists and music award winners.

Jan's teaching method is supportive, friendly, and thorough, bringing out the best in her students, increasing their confidence, awareness, creativity and musicality.

Jan's unique vocal tuition method has also helped those with health issues and/or creative blocks to positively overcome their difficulties. Help with health issues includes: vocal problems and misuse, breathing disorders, panic attacks (including pre-performance nerves), deafness, back and postural problems, psychological/personal issues, and smoking cessation.

Jan performs live internationally, and on radio and tv, lectures in colleges and universities, and teaches independently. Her teaching method is geared to the needs of her students and incorporates breathing exercises, gentle movement, visualisation, left/right brain hemisphere exercises, and aural/oral awareness training.
