Hedy Blaazer - alt folk singer - @hedyblaazer
I’ve been having individual singing lessons with Jo for just over a year with the goal to improve my technique and have more consistency in my vocal performance when I do gigs. I have had previous singing teachers before, but the things that really sticks out about Jo is her ability to work with me and my individual sound and to work around my goals and my own original repertoire. I really appreciate how knowledgeable Jo is about the physiological elements of signing; she not only suggests great exercises, but also can explain why these are beneficial, and helps me to visualise what I am doing with my voice. I have noticed a huge difference in my signing over the past year and feel equipped with important knowledge to continue to improve thanks to Jo’s teaching.

Mark Shelley - Vocalist/Performer
I have been a professional singer & performer for decades. A few years ago, I had serious health issues which had significant adverse effect on my ability, technique & confidence as a vocalist & performer. Jo was recommended to me by a speech therapist. Jo’s knowledge of the physiology of the voice, & the psychology of process & performance is extensive. Her ability to communicate with directness, humour & understanding, & to provide applicable vocal exercise & mind ‘imagery’ is effective & impressive. Jo’s positive guidance, understanding, & instruction have enabled me to now work once again. I highly recommend & endorse Jo as a vocal teacher, instructor & mentor for those at any level of ability or experience.
