Information About Polly:
Personal Description:
I have extensive teaching and performing experience.
I am a professional jazz singer and a choral conductor, composer and musical director.
I have performed on 'Top of the Pops', and at top music venues such as The Royal Festival Hall and The Barbican. My music has been played on TV, radio, in theatrical and dance productions and at contemporary music festivals.
Teaching Experience:
My students have included celebrities such as Joss Stone and sports presenter Gabbi Logan and I have helped many students pass auditions for West End musicals and theatre schools.
I have taught for many London music services such as Lambeth, Hackney, & Haringey, and I was Head of Centre for the Centre for Young Musicians (Kensington & Chelsea) from 2006-2009.
Tutoring Approach:
I coach students from my home studio in Covent Garden, Central London, a 5 minute walk from either Covent Garden or Holborn tube stations.
I welcome students of every age and every level of experience. My methods are easy to follow and tried and tested over many years. Students often comment that that they learn more in an hour in a lesson with me, than they've learnt over months with other teachers!
In singing lessons I concentrate on improving students technique, breathing, vocal range and tone and accompany them from the piano, if preparing for auditions.
I also teach GCSe/A level music and coach students for Grade 5 theory exams and help with Aural training.
Songwriters benefit from my many years experience in the music industry as a singer-songwriter.
