This is my student, Kailani. I teach her singing and performance. When she began she was incredibly shy and worried, but she has gone from strength to strength in her singing and sings this in her own style, with feeling and authenticity. Shared with permission from Kailani and her mum.
Interested in singing lessons? I teach singing lessons in Hungerford at the Croft Hall (face to face) as well as online singing lessons. I also teach at a number of schools and music services around Newbury.
Singing lessons in Hungerford available online throughout the week or in person on Saturdays. For more info see www.melaniemacro.com/vocal-coach

I am a professional singer because Mrs Taylor, my primary school teacher, believed in me. I was shy and quiet and at home I sang at the end of the garden so my parents didn't really get to hear me (until my teens when they probably heard me too well). At school we had a great choir, run by Mrs Taylor and she picked me to sing 'the underneath part' (alto harmony) which I thought was a great honour. She invited me to join Berkshire Junior Choir where she was conductor and even once I had left primary school and I was too old for Junior Choir, she called me saying I should go on an Opera Course and that she had spoken to the conductor. I did, and after that I continued in Berkshire Youth Choir, then Choir of the Year and the rest they say, is history!
Obviously there was a lot of hard work and auditioning between then and now, but what Mrs Taylor gave me was a belief in myself that I was good and I could do it, and I will never forget that.
It inspired me to become a singer, but also a singing teacher. I teach singing lessons in Hungerford in Berkshire, so please get in touch if you're interested in singing lessons. I am now offering face-to face singing lessons in Hungerford (but can still offer online too!)
