Lisa Cassidy I Opera Singer and Voice teacher

Singing Lessons and Vocal coaching with Lisa:

Singing can open pathways to vibrant personal insights, physical unity and a wakening of breath and imagination you wouldn't believe. 

Alongside opening your ability to communicate, optimise posture and understand breath and connection with the body, working with your voice can waken your imagination and awareness of your place in the present moment. There are literally thousands of inspiring songs and arias to study. If approached well, the art of singing walks hand in hand with a healthy, happy mind. 

As a singing teacher, I am deeply committed to helping people find their unique voice and their individual way of communicating with it. Every singing journey is a personal one and each step along the path is both developmental and food for the soul. When you sing, you connect and when you connect you are truly alive! I look forward to meeting you and helping you with your singing journey. www.classicalvocaltechnique.com
