The philosophy of song
When not performing, Eva’s other passion is teaching others how to express themselves through song. She firmly believes that everybody has the ability to sing. It is simply a question of finding a comfortable environment, freeing one’s inhibitions and learning to listen.
“The voice is the ultimate expression of who we really are. So by carefully tracking the ability of an individual and tailoring lessons to their needs, I can maximise their progress as a singer.”
Eva has taught hundreds of singers, from jazz, stage and pop professionals to absolute beginners and those who simply want to sing for fun.
One to one tuition
With any subject, the key to effective learning is effectively structured tuition. That in mind, Eva’s lessons are divided into to distinct halves: one covering the technical aspects of voice production, posture and breath control, and the other simply exploring the sort of music the singer would like to learn.
Body awareness and voice training are essential for powerful, effortless self-expression, so the first half consists of exercises and tuition in the following areas:
- Breath control
- Head voice- chest voice
- Support
- Projection
- Expanding range
- Voice placement
- Flexibility
Then the theory is put into practice. Using the student’s chosen music, the second part looks at the connection between melody, words, expression and phrasing to produce a uniquely personal interpretation of each song. Students also learn to improvise, enabling themselves discover their own musical creativity.
In short, Eva’s individual approach to teaching effectively inspires students to literally create their own songs. Her sessions last for 1 hour and cost £40.00.

“I am a singer/songwriter and find Eva to be both inspirational and outstanding as a teacher on all levels - from singing technique to musicianship and personal development. She is vital to my growth as a powerful and unique singer.”
