About
Thirty years using my voice in front of people, in almost every format there is.
On stage, for fifteen years with Teatr Loch Camelot in Kraków, in opera with the Kraków Opera choir, and on a concert tour to China with the Wiener Männergesang-Verein, a Viennese choral society founded in 1843.
Live, hosting festivals and presenting the International Summer Jazz Academy in Kraków — where you learn to hold a room, keep to time, and recover when something goes wrong.
On television, presenting a cultural strand and filing reports for two years, which teaches you to say something precisely in ninety seconds. On camera, running my own YouTube channel.
And in the classroom — teaching, and writing and directing school productions, where I learned to hear what is going wrong in someone else's voice and explain how to fix it.
I trained as a vocalist at the Kraków School of Jazz and Popular Music. In Cambridge I sing as cantor at Our Lady and the English Martyrs, and teach at the Polish schools in Cambridge and Newmarket.
I am a voice and delivery coach, not a clinician. If I think you need a doctor rather than a coach, I will tell you.
Why I teach beginners
Complete beginners are the students I enjoy most, because the change in them is the largest. Someone arrives certain they cannot sing, and twelve weeks later they are recording a song they love.
Almost nobody who thinks they can't sing is right. Genuine tone deafness is rare. What is common is a voice that was never given a chance.
