Our Students Say It Best

I've had weekly online singing lessons since the start of lockdown. Although I miss being in the same room as my teacher, I have enjoyed my online Zoom lessons and I have hugely appreciated being able to carry on my singing. Because there is only a my teacher on a screen and nothing else to look at, I have been very focused on what my teacher is saying. I have worked on improving my singing technique which has worked well. Because of the difficulty of hearing the piano accompaniment over Zoom, I have worked more on my timing too, which has been good for me.

Liz

My lessons at The Hap'ning Place have enabled me to get the voice I always wanted. By applying the techniques in ANY style of singing; I always have the tools to produce the sound I desire. My power, range and control still surprise even me.

Natasha

I find the lessons extremely uplifting and fun, and my range and breath control have improved considerably.

Michaela

I am a professional performer and need to keep my voice in good order. I have had singing lessons throughout the pandemic (I had to be in isolation for some of it) and will continue to do so until I can travel safely. It has been a highlight of each week and because I am at home, I have been able to fully warm up and prepare for my lesson so when I meet my teacher online I am raring to go!

Sarah

My voice has really developed, and she manages to explain things like posture, breathing and voice production in a witty and easy-to-follow way. She is great!

Jenny

Being able to have my lessons online throughout lockdown and since has been wonderful. It’s kept me going and enabled me to keep singing despite everything!

Julia

Incredibly patient and inspiring teachers, who really make learning the piano fun.

Mark

I have been having online violin lessons and it has been great. I have been able to keep up my practice and learn new skills on Zoom. I even learnt how to change a string with an online tutorial from my very patient teacher!

Lorraine

The Hap'ning Place has a great way of developing your confidence: from one-to-one lessons through group work and on to trying out your solo voice in the supportive mini studio recitals.

Anne-Marie

Having a daily vocal Warm -Up sessions during lockdown is a great way to keep in touch and to exercise my voice. In fact just 15 minutes a day has made a noticeable difference. I do miss having face to face lessons, but actually find that it’s quite possible to make progress and learn new songs online as well.

Alexia

I've been studying music and voice at The Hap'ning Place for several years and the standard of teaching has always been excellent: attentive, fun, professional and effective. The online lessons have been wonderful. I've progressed well, enjoyed myself and it's very convenient to be able to take my lessons from home. Highly recommend.

Jess

The online lessons with Maryliese have been wonderful. Despite the fact that I live far from the studio, I have been able to have the same quality lessons at the comfort of being in my own home. I feel comfortable with the lessons with my teacheras she knows how to direct us through the online technology. Highly recommended.

Sakamoto

It’s been great to have been able to continue my violin lessons during lockdown and, despite my initial trepidation at having them remotely, it feels just as beneficial and fun as face to face!
