Introduction: I am a professional singer, musician and singing, performing and piano teacher with 20 years of experience in teaching students of all ages, from 3 to 90 years old, in three different countries. Teaching is my passion, and I am dedicated to help my students develop and find their musical talent and voice and to build their confidence within themselves. I believe that everyone can learn how to sing and play instruments. Music is powerful, inspiring and healing, and I will help you to accomplish your goals, whether it is to be able to sing karaoke or if you want to get to a higher level, like developing a career in music. I will help you to build your confidence, develop and increase your vocal range and the quality of the tone of your voice, teach you vocal technique so you never strain or hurt your voice while singing, teach you how to work with musicians and how to perform on stage. I will help you in strengthening your breathing and support. If you want to learn how to sing and play the piano at the same time, I can combine the lessons to both piano and voice. I teach all genres of music, including pop, jazz, rock, county, R&B, and classical if requested. My key teaching skills are as follows: * Teaching of vocal technique and vocal exercises * Development of vocal range and voice quality * Piano instruction * Piano accompaniment of students * Inquiry-based teaching * Development of musicianship and performance skills * Development of great breathing technique and strong breath control * Leading and conducting of bands and choirs * Written evaluation of student progress * Creation of individualized, engaging, and goal-directed lesson plans * Student motivation * Teaching the importance of integrating music theory and vocal practice * Confidence building and individual style encouragement * Organization of student performances * Help in preparing students for auditions and performance As a professional singer and musician, I have performed in Sweden, England and in the USA at many different venues and with many different bands and groups, especially as a jazz and pop singer. I also write my own music and work as a singer/songwriter. In addition, I work as a studio-session singer for recording artists. I am very passionate about sharing my love for music and helping my students accomplish their goals. I am a very positive and happy person, and I promise that you will have a good and inspiring time learning, making music and accomplishing your dreams and goals, all at the same time!

I was taught by Mrs.Pehrsson from 2004-2009 in Leeds, England. Mrs.Pehrsson helped me develop my vocal abilities and nurtured me to control my voice. She introduced me to proper breathing techniques that I hadn’t realised existed and I learnt the difference between tones of voice. She helped me build confidence and stage presence, something so integral for a performer. Outside of singing she also encouraged me to join the choir which she had set up, in which I learnt a lot about harmonies and how a combination of voices can make such good music! I remember one time, we were deciding on a song to practise within the lessons (Mrs.Pehrsson gave us free reign in what songs we could decide to sing). I had decided that I wanted to sing a certain song; Mrs.Pehrsson hadn’t heard it but willingly accepted to listen to the song on my iPod to find the chords. After one listen to the song she had the chords in her head and relayed them on the piano effortlessly. This is something that is very prominent in my memory as I was so astounded at this talent.

Miss. Pehrsson was my own individual singing teacher throughout my schooling & higher education at Intake High School Performing Arts College, Leeds, England. As a student I always had enormous respect for her & still do to this day. Miss. Pehrsson would never force me to do anything I was not comfortable with but would not allow me to hold back either. Through her training my voice became much more controlled, I began to understand the concept of breathing correctly and took on her constructive criticism where necessary. I was often urged to improve and experiment whether it through different tones, genres of music or the encouragement of singing in the school choir. I gained so much more faith & belief in myself through these teaching methods which overall supported me with my self confidence and stage presence. Classes were very memorable, fun & creative. I was able to choose my own songs from the abundance of resources available through her and urged to incorporate my own unique style to the chosen piece. The fact that Miss. Pehrsson was so adaptable with her piano skills also meant that no song went without the perfect backing. The way in which she can improvise in this way still baffles me; she is a true musician! Personally I feel that one of Miss. Pehrsson’s top qualities is her way of creating the perfect balance between friendship and professionalism. As a tutor she was always easy to approach & understanding of any concerns; a crucial value for any teacher in my opinion. I believe Miss. Pehrsson would be a benefit to any institution & I am sure her future students will agree!

I am a former singing student of Ms Sandra Pehrsson. I studied with her from 2010 - 2012 at Leeds College of Music, UK. Prior to that I had only studied classical singing. Sandra introduced me to a wide range of genres, (e.g Jazz and Musicals) advancing my technique and broadening my repertoire of music. She responded to my particular needs by finding appropriate music for my voice. She encouraged me to try many new vocal exercises and specifically helped me improve my performance technique. I was grateful for the time Sandra gave to listen to my own compositions and gave me feedback and help. Her experience in music gave me real confidence in her teaching, and her manner and nature ensured I enjoyed my lessons and looked forward to them each week.
