"For me, the most vital part of learning to sing is being able to complete trust in your teacher. It is an amazing thing as a total novice to be taken seriously by a professional in their domain. Annabel wears her expertise very lightly, gently introducing exercises and concepts as you go along, at just the right pace. She is a wonderful listener. To the sounds you produce, of course, but also to how you feel as you do them, how you are thinking about things, and where the difficulties might be. If you feel a little tired that day, Annabel will bring the energy. If you feel confused, she will bring clarity. This adds to the motivation, as learning to sing, like any other skill, can be frustrating at times. Unless you have the right teacher, of course…
Are Annabel’s singing lessons for everyone? No single student to be sure, but at concert time you get to see her teaching others. You get to see how different we all are: in age, temperament, experience, goals. And you get to see how Annabel adjusts her whole approach help us feel comfortable and sing at our best. It’s some of the best “man management” I’ve ever seen.
 It is very hard to imagine a more enjoyable, charming, challenging, life-affirming, worthwhile hour, than a singing lesson with Annabel."

​"I have had singing lessons with Annabel for the last few years having started as a complete beginner and I am amazed at the transformation in both my ability and confidence with singing. Annabel is incredibly supportive and professional and her approach has been a perfect fit. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a singing teacher."
-Charlotte Steward

"Annabel is an outstanding teacher and mentor who has guided my vocal training toward the successful application to music conservatoire. I value Annabel’s musicianship and excellent approach to teaching, which are evident as she adopts the best methods to train my voice and extend my repertoire. The lessons are individually planned so I may work towards specific goals and achieve the technical expertise, artistic expression and performance skills required of a training soprano. I enjoy the benefit of every lesson as Annabel underpins her teaching knowledge with encouragement and sincere advice."
- Gabriella Villa

"Annabel was simply a delight.First of all so polite and professional, but above all full of praise with Isabella's singing.
I felt I made the right choice with Annabel. She listened to my daughter's needs and requests and worked a plan to achieve the best out of her voice. I highly recommend her."
-Parent of a student.

"Annabel was extremely knowledgeable and also very personable. I had a one off (or so I thought) lesson with Annabel. Needless to say, I wouldn't hesitate to go back for more help. A warm and friendly environment with lots of encouragement and support. I felt that I gained an awful amount of tuition in a small space of time without once feeling rushed."
