Beginners Singing Lesson with Leading Vocal Coach and Counsellor Sandra Scott

Increasing numbers of people are finding themselves drawn to the ethereal and intriguing sounds that have travelled into Europe and America, primarily from Mongolia and Tuva in the former Soviet Union.

Most recently popularised in the West by the touring musicians Huun Huur Tu, Yat Kha, and Sainkho Namatchlyak this fascinating style* of singing allows the simultaneous production of two or more notes by the same singer. Often called Khoomei or throat singing allows harmonics to be amplified and heard alongside a sung note or 'drone'.

This astounding feat is accomplished by deliberate enhancement of the natural harmonics found in our voices. The voice, mouth, lips, teeth, jaw, throat, tongue, lungs and diaphragm can all be used in a subtle and complex concert that will allow you to produce these wonderful sounds.

These lessons will lead you through the whole process in easy-to-follow stages, from beginner to advanced. We will start with an easier Western style before progressing into the Eastern styles.

 *Actually many styles, as we will see.

Khoomei 'Throat singing' / Overtone singing

Becky (Maggie Belle)

In her classes, Laura aims to create a very safe and relaxed environment - believing that to be the basis for the creative and technical work required for developing the singing voice. Lessons are very much about the individual - not just in terms of vocal considerations, but also in understanding each persons specific needs, their own unique ways of learning and their aspirations. Some students, for instance, might want to switch from classical to contemporary singing, others may have found they can't sing high notes with the same ease that they used to, while others might struggle with the feeling of having two distinctly different types of voice - chest voice and head voice, with nothing in between...

Guitar Lessons for Intermediate 

The harmonica is possibly the most underrated instrument in the world. This may be because it's small, and people think it's really easy to play. Only harmonica players know the truth about the power and expression of their small but powerful instrument!

There is no better way to learn the harmonica than face to face lessons . This ensures rapid development of technique and provides the structure that most students need in order to take control of their playing. Whilst being friendly and informal, at The Harmonica Barge we use a tried and tested programme of lessons to suit your individual needs.

Michelle Johnson

Our signature First piano lesson is carefully designed so our students can leave their first session playing hands together.

We start with a 15-minute stimulation about piano technique.  We use this time to teach students how to manage their arm weight and channel it towards the keys. Our house technique is inspired by the work of Vicente Scaramuzza, one of the world's most famous piano maestros.

We then continue with some Music theory basics. The idea is to provide our first-timers with enough tools to read independently the first exercises of Bartok Mikrokosmos vol. I

If all is successful we then head into completing our Pre-Grade Level 1
