I started having lessons with Jackie after seeing the improvements made by my eldest daughter who went from being a good singer to an amazing singer. I never had the opportunity to learn when I was young but I have always loved singing so I thought, for the sake of my family who have to listen to me sing all the time I would have lessons. I am now working towards grade 6 in popular music and I would thoroughly recommend Jackie as a teacher as she is patient and kind and tailors our one to one zoom lessons to what I want to work on as well as the the improvements she feels are necessary.
I only started doing the Now Sing choir when I was signed off work during this pandemic. I love it so much, I think I have only missed two sessions since it started. Not only do I get to sing a variety of songs, which instantly lifts my spirits, but we get to lead songs which has really improved my confidence. I have made a whole load of new friends through the choir as we always have a little chat at the start and end of each session. Great fun.
When did someone last tell you that you were good at something?
Whatever your reasons for wanting to improve your singing, Jackie's gentle guidance and constant encouragement will get you standing tall, breathing right, using your ears, harnessing your inner smile and singing in tune. An hour's lesson with Jackie is like an hour of sunshine: A combination of yoga and therapy all in one - and a fun way for anyone to wants to improve their confidence. Vicky
Jackie has managed to bring out and develop a talent that we did not know our daughter possessed
My 11 year old daughter has been having singing lessons for over a year with Jackie. When she asked if she could try the lessons I was concerned that they wouldn't be right for her as she is very shy and under confident. However her confidence has increased and she looks forward to going every week. She has gone from not singing in front of anyone other than Jackie to singing at a concert and taking her Grades in Popular Music Vocals. This is down to Jackie's natural singing talent and to the affection, patience and understanding that she has always shown to my daughter. When I asked my daughter what she liked best about her singing lessons she said it was that Jackie involves them in their song choices and that she is able to take singing exams. Jackie's lessons have had such an amazing positive affect on her and she has managed to bring out and develop a talent that we did not know our daughter possessed. Helen
Jackie has a real talent to be able to draw out the strengths and unique character in anyone's voice
For an older person like me, who started singing late in life, I really thought I was 'past' this but Jackie has a real talent to be able to gently and subtly remove inhibitions and to draw out the strengths and unique character in anyone's voice. She is a mentor who will guide you on a rewarding voyage of self-discovery, where with every session you will learn more about what you can and could do with your voice. Mick
My daughter has learnt an enormous amount and grown in confidence
Since starting singing lessons with Jackie, my daughter has learnt an enormous amount and grown in confidence when performing in front of an audience. The lessons are always friendly and fun and Vicky has enjoyed gaining experience both in singing as part of a small group and also as a soloist. Jackie encouraged Vicky to take her Popular Music Vocal Exams and she has already achieved a distinction for Grade 1. Debbie
