Andra Sparks is a jazz singer and vocal coach.

With my wide background as a practicing performer in classical and contemporary singing styles - I have taught vocal technique to male and female singers of all ages

and interests: classical, pop and jazz - to actors, choir members, composers, for auditions and exams ...

No matter what style of music you are drawn to -

classical or contemporary singing,

certain elements - skills which are vital for

good health and a grounded approach to life -

are common to all:

GOOD POSTURE

BREATH CONTROL

QUALITY OF SOUND

SO - I offer a practical approach to good singing

with the emphasis on creativity and fun...

Each individual has a unique voice that is theirs

to develop in the musical area of their choice.

You might prefer to sing with others or

want to learn about your own sound.

Whatever your needs, I can help you find

YOUR individual voice and support your growing confidence and self awareness as your skills and

musical knowledge increase.

These skills are useful in ALL areas of your life.

And as you tap into your emotions and experience

the sheer pleasure of singing comfortably -

LIFE ALWAYS SEEMS BETTER!

I can offer teaching and advice tailored to your

specific, learning requirements:

INDIVIDUAL hour long lessons for adults

SHORTER sessions for younger students

WORKSHOPS for specific musical areas eg jazz

REHEARSAL for audition pieces

ACCOMPANIMENT for your group just to come and sing!

The Shoefactory is the perfect, supportive
