Singing / Vocal Lessons Based in Waterlooville, Hampshire
Becki currently works with a Clive's Easylearn Pop and Rock Music School based in Waterlooville, Portsmouth, Hampshire as their singing teacher.
Lessons are currently held on a Thursday evening in Waterlooville, however singing lessons are also available in Havant, Petersfield, Portsmouth and Chichester on different days of the week.
The lessons structure is:
- warm ups
- a little technique
- practicing of the song(s) the pupil is currently working on
- most weeks the pupil gets to sing with the other pupils at the end of the lesson
The other pupils learn guitar, bass and drums, meaning the "jamming session" at the end of lessons let the singer perform as part of a band! (If you're interested in Guitar, Bass or Drum lessons, then email Mark for details.)
After the first few lessons, Becki likes to let the pupil steer the lesson to a certain extent, letting them choose which songs they'd like to learn to sing, which techniques they want to learn etc.
She feels this helps develop the pupils singing voice a lot better than telling them what they are doing next, as if they are happy with what they are doing, they will remember more of what is said, and enjoy the lessons more!
There is a gig every four months for the pupils to perform at, and Becki also encourages her pupils to perform as often as possible, and regularly attends an open mic night in the area to help her pupils confidence in performing in front of people they don't know.
Two of Becki's pupils currently entered Fareham Music Festival and both were awarded Commended for their performances (Commended is defined as "A good performance technically and artistically"), as well as both of the pupils saying they have come away with more confidence and learnt a lot from the experience.
