TESTIMONIALS
Amy Kolkak
"I have been having weekly lessons with Amie now for around 5 months. I am extremely impressed with the amount of knowledge Amie has to offer and her ability to explain and share this with me, in a way that I can absorb and apply it effectively. I have really gained a deep connection with my voice and will continue to work towards acquiring more control with the help of Amie’s teachings."

"Amie’s lessons not only develop and strengthen vocal techniques; they ensure that you grow as a musician.
Three years of vocal training with Amie has meant that my voice has matured steadily, and whilst learning to sing a wide range of material to the best of my ability, I’ve also learnt to control my voice. I’m now confident that with time and hard work, anything will be achievable.
The biggest benefit of my singing lessons is the sense of musicality I gain from them. I leave every lesson smiling, and with a sound understanding of the area of music we’ve been focusing on. In my lesson time we practice and perfect musical theatre pieces, which helps me to build on performance skills, and most importantly my confidence! We also spend time working on original song writing which helps me to progress musically in a more creative way. I feel very lucky to have a teacher who is open to and knowledgeable of so many different styles of singing, and I can’t recommend a better way to train your voice!"
Abi, Mother of Lily
"Our 11 year old daughter has been having weekly singing lessons with Amie over the last 4 years. She very much enjoys these lessons and looks forward to going every week. She has had the opportunity to sing a wide range of songs and genres that Amie has selected for her and she has developed a love for music, particularly musical theatre. Each year she has taken a music theatre exam (London College of Music) and has achieved a distinction for each grade, a fantastic achievement for her. She is about to take Grade 5. Amie has prepared her very well for these exams and Lily’s confidence in her ability has grown. Amie is always very reliable and communicates well with both Lily and myself. Above all, Lily has a lot of fun during her lessons and they have been an important part of her childhood."
Megan, 17 (Huish Academy)
"Since starting singing lessons with Amie around 6 months ago, I have already noticed that my confidence has grown and my range has hugely expanded. Every singing lesson that I attend helps my ability and technique to improve. Amie is helping me to develop skills to begin singing grades which will increase my chances of being accepted into university to study a music degree.
I always look forward to my weekly lesson with Amie and I feel honoured to have been taught by such a lovely and talented musician."
Meg, 16 (Huish Academy)
"The progress I feel I have made under Amie’s teaching is huge - I had always wanted to go into musical theatre, but never believed I had a strong enough voice so shied away from the idea. Amie was able to teach me how to take control of my vocals and train them in order to be more confident with the style, and since then I have played lead roles in my school’s last two musicals and am working towards a potential career in theatre. Every lesson I learn something new, including the technicalities of how our voices work and how to take care of them, which is so important if you’re spending a lot of time belting! It is always a pleasure to see Amie and always makes my day when I know I have a singing lesson."
Holly, 17 (Huish Academy)
"Singing lessons with Amie are always enjoyable and something I look forward to on a weekly basis. Her passion for the subject shines through and she uses her extensive knowledge to teach a variety of vocal styles and techniques. On a personal level, Amie has helped my confidence grow whilst performing and her lessons have been a factor in my ambition to continue music at degree level."
