This website is dedicated to including more singing in all of our lives, whether that be in the workplace, a fun evening out at a piano bar, an adult singing class or individual singing lessons.
We all know that singing is a much-admired skill to have, and can lead to a great career, although we’re not all going to be Christina Aguilera or Luciano Pavarotti…
No matter!!
Singing at any level or type can bring huge joy and a sense of connection.
It has been proven to have many well researched health benefits such as improving breathing, helping you sleep better, reducing anxiety and depression and lowering blood pressure.
Singing in a group can create a wonderful sense of well-being and mutual support.
It can help your confidence hugely and improve your presentation and your speaking voice.
