Singing Lessons & My Teaching Technique
I teach a singing technique that will give you a lifetime of safe, singing pleasure, in whatever style suits your voice and personality.
You are the Singing Instrument!
Singing should feel free and easy – it is also great exercise!
Even experienced singers have to go back to basics sometimes. I can help with a rusty technique as well as work with beginners (although the minimum age is 15 for new students). No upper age limit!
I offer lessons on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, subject to availability. Get in touch with me for a chat or to find out more.
What My Students Say
“A few years ago, I tried singing lessons with a totally different teacher and had nothing but sore throats and was told ‘your throat will stop hurting eventually. So I gave up lessons, but I still wanted to get better at singing.
Wind on to 2019 and I found Mairi and to be honest, was a bit sceptical after my experience a few years ago. But wow! Mairi is excellent, the first few lessons have been all about breath support and finding my own voice. And I’ve not had any pain whatsoever and can hear a major difference in voice when I use it correctly.
I will definitely be sticking with Mairi and look forward to the result of my voice after her care and strengthen in the coming months/years”

“Mairi is a fantastic singing teacher. I had lessons with her for 12 years! When I started with her I was going through a difficult time: I had just had a baby and was wondering whether I should continue singing. She made me realise that I definitely should continue.
With Mairi all the things that other teachers had taught me in the past suddenly slotted into place and made sense when they previously hadn’t. She demanded high standards from me, which in the past I hadn’t dared risk. She made me realise that if you work hard you will be rewarded with good results.
She is a really kind, genuine, fun and approachable teacher who has completely changed my singing.
She also has a wonderful dog called Rufus who I loved visiting each week!”

Coaching, Workshops & Concerts
If you want to take it further than just for fun, I can help you towards taking formal singing exams, entrance to Music Colleges, and can offer coaching in audition techniques.
I also put on concerts which you can take part in and try out what you have learned.
Let’s get going, singing should be fun and everyone can improve with good teacher and a bit of practice!
What My Students Say
“I am eternally indebted to Mairi for providing her expertise and sensitive professionalism in the art of singing. I can be in no doubt, that her skill and unerring patience, together with her innate ability to motivate, has facilitated my transition to a far higher standard of singer.
Crucially, she has enabled me through her tuition, to find the confidence to realise my potential and sown the seeds for ever more development in this direction.”
– Mark
“Well the thing about Mairi is that she has an amazing voice so you know from the outset that she knows how to get the best from the voice.
Mairi is excellent at teaching techniques in a way that it is easy to understand and put into practice. My time with Mairi was not about turning up and having a sing instead it was about developing a vocal instrument based on solid principles.
I would highly recommend ”
