About Freya Turton
*Freya is currently available to teach in-person singing lessons (in English) in Groningen, The Netherlands, as well as online lessons for students in the United Kingdom. Please do get in touch if you are interested*
Freya enjoyed her singing lessons more than anything whilst growing up and now works to inspire the same enthusiasm and joy in her pupils. She draws on both her professional singing experience and seven years teaching to tailor her teaching methods. Freya has taught singing at The Misbourne School, Egerton Rothesay School, Sargent and Plester School of dance, SDSD and Footlights.
Teaching in singing
Freya primarily teaches classical singing from beginner to advanced and can prepare students for examination in ABRSM, Trinity and LCM exam boards. She enters some students into the Chesham Arts Festival singing competition each year, giving them a fantastic opportunity to perform on stage. Freya also has a few pupils on the Garsington Youth Opera scheme.
She has an expansive knowledge of vocal technique and health which she passes on in her teaching. As part of her Masters Degree, Freya is currently studying a course in Voice Methodology. Freya also uses movement and muscle relaxation to focus breathing. Her aim as a singing teacher is to improve a pupil’s sound and confidence in a relaxed and most importantly fun environment.
First lesson
In the first lesson, Freya will get to know a student’s past singing experience and goals by having a relaxed discussion. She will also guide them through some simple movement and breathing exercises to begin with, then move on to vocal exercises. Beginner students may want to bring a song with them they’ve worked on in the past, or something they enjoy singing - it could be what you hum in the shower if you're not sure.
Beginners
All beginners are very welcome. Freya is a friendly and calm teacher who will guide and encourage student’s through a fun and relaxed lesson. She has worked with many beginners, both children and adults, and very much enjoys observing students build in confidence as lesson’s progress.
“I am enjoying my singing lessons with Freya immensely! Freya is an excellent teacher inspiring confidence in my own voice and helping me build skills at a pace that works perfectly. She has been accommodating to my preferences when it comes to pieces I wanted to learn but also had some brilliant choices of pieces, which have helped me develop my voice beyond what I thought possible.” - Lena
Freya is extremely kind, talented and so supportive. Coming from someone who had little to no singing experience, she has made me feel so comfortable ever since the first lesson and has taught me so much already! She always keeps our lessons fun and light hearted and I can’t wait to keep progressing further with her. Highly recommend. - Maria A
I wanted to take singing lessons for a long time but was nervous and self conscious about doing so. But, with Freya as a tutor I needn't have worried. She put me at ease from the first moment. She is talented, friendly and encouraging and has taught me so much already. I would thoroughly recommend her. - Helen M
Freya has been an excellent music teacher and mentor to my 8yr old daughter; she keeps her inspired and motivated. Within a few lessons, doing a combination of classical and musical theatre styles, I could see my daughter's confidence improve significantly. Freya also makes the learning interesting, and my daughter thoroughly enjoys her lessons with Freya! I would absolutely recommend Freya! - Suma S
