1:1 lessons to increase your confidence and discover your unique voice

Do you:

  • Want to increase your confidence when singing?

  • Love singing but feel shy to sing in front of others?

  • Have specific issues with your voice, such as weakness, breaking, or a limited vocal range?

I offer 1:1 lessons for all ages, from my home or yours, or online. I have a background in folk singing and performance and focus on confidence, voice health, and nervous system regulation.

I believe that singing is a human birthright and that everyone can sing. Singing blocks are mostly psychological and can be dissolved through working with imagery, breathing, and adjusting physical technique.

Together we will create a relaxed non-judgemental space for you to explore your voice.

As a grief tender, I am also aware that working with the voice can touch vulnerable points, and often brings up emotion. I’ll encourage you to make space for whatever feelings emerge during our time together.

I have a large toolkit of nervous system regulation exercises that can help with easing the voice and relaxing into sounding.

Testimonials

  • Frances

    “Ruth offers wonderful one to one singing lessons. She creates a fun and safe space to work with me through technical, physical and emotional barriers. Not only am I more confident with my singing but I have found my voice is radically more cooperative in work situations too, with the stutter I have struggled with throughout life seemingly having disappeared.”

    “Lessons from Ruth were nothing short of transformative for my overall confidence. I don't consider myself a singer and have no intention to sing professionally, or even publicly! I came to Ruth because I was struggling to hear my voice and speak up in my daily life. Her ability to hold space for and integrate emotional vulnerability into sessions allowed me to connect to my voice in a way I never thought possible. I love the sound of my speaking voice now and it not only no longer inhibits me from speaking up, I look forward to hearing myself speak. And sometimes, but only sometimes, I even sing in front of other people!”

Want to try out working with me? Come along to my drop-in singing group, Rooted Voices Community Choir.

We meet every Thursday at MOMA in Machynlleth from 7–9.

Group singing can be a gentle way to start working with your voice. We focus on simple harmony songs and learn everything by ear (no sheet music!).
