Clare has been teaching in jazz vocal education for around nine years. Her aim is to try to understand the individual need of all her students emotionally and therefore vocally.
“When I speak of singing, I do not consider it only as an artistic exercise, but as a possibility and means of knowing oneself” Alfred Wolfson 1898-1962
If you would like to be informed of Clare’s private workshops, please would you let her know and she will be glad to add you to her mailing list. For one on one lessons you can also contact her.
Here are the workshops currently available with course outlines for you to view. They are held sporadically at my own home throughout the year. Or do feel free if you would like to book any of these workshops for your own events.

What Students say about Clare's Teaching:
"Thank you for a fantastically rewarding day of learning! Your encouragement and support to all of us is uniquely special. On a personal level, I came away with a sense of exhilarated freedom to "express myself" through singing in a style I haven't previously ventured into . I'm feeling more confident, more knowledgeable and so happy that you've helped me push open the door and peek inside at the wonders and possibilities of singing this music we all love so much." Coral Cooke, singing student
"You have an extraordinary ability of understanding people and going to the very heart of them. " Simona Barbieri, singing student
"Clare is an amazing teacher who pays great attention to singers strengths & weakness and encourages them to grow. She makes a real difference." Jumoké Fashola, Broadcaster.
"Just wanted to thankyou for putting on a great workshop. I really enjoyed it and have learnt alot. Learning to free myself vocally and to be able to sing infront of an audience has been a challenge for me, but I found the exercises we did during the workshop really helpful, and the advice on my perfomance has been invaluable. I will definitely be recomending the workshop to others." Rohan Madison
"You are really good at combining practical vocal exercises with theory and at equipping singers to be musicians on a par with the instrumentalists" Sue Jarvis, Teacher and Professional Singer.
"You are such a brilliant teacher. We were discussing it on the way back... to me you are everything a teacher should be, encouraging but offering useful criticism, focussed, organised, funny, interesting without going off on a tangent, and I learnt so much. So thank you." Toni Green, Actor and Comedienne
"You give great singing, music and life lessons! Very best wishes" Julia McBain, Student
"I really love your course and your way of teaching" Josephine Arthur, Student
"I would just like to say thank you for the wonderful weekend. I came to give support to my friend yet gained so much for myself in the process. I've found the inspiration to explore my voice further. I have found true freedom in music. Thank you Clare." Toyin, Student
"Thankyou for sharing your musical gifts. You inspire many people" Janet, Student
Clare also teaches in adult education colleges including The City Literary Institute and on a freelance basis at Trinity College of Music.
