Hello there! I'm Suzanne :)
It's a common myth that only some are "born to sing." In truth, everyone possesses the innate ability to express themselves through song. What often holds us back are internal blocks (limiting beliefs, past experiences, and self-doubt) that disconnect us from our authentic voice.
What's self aware singing?
Over 10 years of teaching individuals from all walks of life, I've observed a fascinating truth: the obstacles hindering vocal expression are deeply intertwined with one's self-concept and personal narrative. By addressing these internal barriers, not only does the singing voice flourish, but
you can also experience profound personal growth.
How is it different from a regular singing lesson?
It’s still a voice lesson with warm-ups, vocal exercises, and songs! But we also bring in self-awareness to uncover and shift vocal blocks and limiting beliefs. This is often the missing piece in achieving your goals, it uncovers the unspoken barrier thats been holding you back. It's about demystifying singing and getting you the sound you want gaining self awareness and vocal control you never thought possible.
About me:
I’m a professional voice instructor holding a Bachelor’s degree in Theatre Arts and with 10 years of teaching experience. As a singer-songwriter who performs live, writes, and records music, I actively apply the same mindful, holistic techniques I teach, so you benefit from methods proven effective in
the professional world.
I had been teaching for several years when I discovered that what was hindering a singer's ability to progress was beyond them grasping the technique, it was something deeper, a belief or personal limitation they had knowingly or unknowingly imposed on themselves.
I found until we addressed that block, no real progress could be made. When I observed this in my own singing and how my vocal blocks matched my own self-concept and approach to life, I was able to make the shifts that allowed my voice to transform in ways I never thought possible. That's when I knew I had to teach singing in a holistic way, the voice is deeply connected to who we are and to truly get your best voice we must acknowledge ourselves: all of our gifts and all that may hold us back. I believe it's a vital piece of voice technique that can't be overlooked.
I've gone on this journey myself and guided many others to success in the last 10 years. It takes being patient, being brave and staying committed, but you can achieve your singing goals, myself and my students are living proof. I'd love to guide you along the way :)
My teaching style:
Exploration: I listen to your goals, get to know your voice, and we gently
identify blocks: emotional, mental, or physical to create your vocal wish-list
and a plan for our journey.
Technique & Release: Through mindful warm‑ups and vocal exercises, we
release tension, de-pedestal your “vocal wish-list” and build your confidence
and understanding and mastery of the vocal technique.
Self Awareness: We notice inner narratives, ideas or beliefs that may be
keeping us stuck and work to reframe and/or release them. We celebrate
breakthroughs big and small.
From the first lesson I can teach you techniques that will improve your singing dramatically. I’m currently offering a free consultation for new students so we can make sure I’m the right fit with no cost to you. If this resonates with you I'd love to meet you and chat further!
