Sandra is brilliant. I was very anxious about beginning my singing journey again after years and years without singing a note in public. But, as soon as I met Sandra and was greeted by her warm personality, I instantly felt comfortable. Sandra is very supportive of my singing goals and, with her wealth of knowledge and experience, I have full faith that she'll help me achieve them. In just a few months, I've grown in confidence, seen a lot of improvement in my voice, and had a whole lot of fun and laughs. My singing lessons are something I really look forward to. I'd highly recommend Sandra to anyone.
Sandra is an incredible singing teacher! I began singing lessons a few months ago to increase my confidence and also to prepare for open mic performances. My confidence has begun to grow already and with Sandra's encouragement I know it will continue to grow. Sandra is extremely knowledgeable and is always able to answer any questions I have. She has a warm and vivacious personality and I look forward to every lesson. Sandra has a wonderful sense of humour, and I enjoy the craic with her just as much as the singing! I feel that with Sandra's help I will be able to achieve all of my singing goals :-)
Sandra is an amazing teacher with a wealth of genuine experience behind her. I feel that her lessons ( and the vocal exercises which she sends to her students) have really built my voice from being an absolute beginner to someone who is learning to sing with confidence. I still can't believe how far my voice has come in just over a year. Her lessons are practical and informative but most importantly she is s supportive and positive teacher who genuinely cares for her students.
It felt like serendipity that I found Sandra when I did. I'm not a 'singer' as such so I never thought singing lessons were really for me. But, like a lot of people, singing is actually a big part of my life. I sing throughout the day in the background, I sing with my daughter, I sing along in the car, at family parties. But it has always been marred with the evaluative school trauma which made me so self conscious (even when I was alone) that I could never really enjoy it. While going through a rough period with my mental health, I decided that singing could be really useful in helping me to recover if I could just enjoy it. I booked a lesson with Sandra and never looked back.
My only goal was really for singing to feel more natural and enjoyable. Within a few months I’ve achieved that for sure. But beyond that I've gotten SO much out of our lessons. My voice feels like a brand new instrument and I’m loving trying it out on all the same old songs I’ve been singing for years. Even after a few lessons the difference was already night and day (I checked with my husband and he confirmed I wasn’t imagining it!). There are notes that sound good now that were always strained as well as entirely new notes I’ve just never been able to use before. I can sing with an element of ease and fun, which is a completely new feeling for me.
Besides all that, she is just an absolute joy to work with and be around. So THANK YOU Sandra! What you do is truly incredible.I have wanted to learn to sing for so long. Sandra's singing lessons not only focus on singing technique, but her therapy background also helps me to regulate and care for my mental health as a singer. Sandra is the most generous, patient and encouraging teacher ever. She builds an inclusive singing community as well. Highly recommend.
Sandra was amazing, she is a fountain of knowledge and a very great teacher. I would recommend for anyone looking to improve their vocal ability or singing.
I am absolutely loving my singing lessons with Sandra. I had my consultation session back in December 2021 and have been singing with Sandra since then (now 6 months).Sandra has brought such a spark of joy to my 2022, which was so needed after the last couple of years. She is such an expert at her craft, but also so friendly and approachable and ready to help/correct to bring out the best in me. It’s not just my singing that has dramatically improved, with my now being able to hit notes and hold tunes I thought impossible, but also my self-confidence and willingness to try new things! If you want to learn how to sing well but also have the best time doing it, I would really recommend lessons with Sandra
I’ve been coming to see Sandra for singing lessons on and off for years now; each time we pick up exactly where we left off!
Sandra is attentive and dedicated to giving you exactly what you need. Focusing on developing and growing the voice, to unlock your full vocal potential.
She is truly gifted!
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!I'm now well into my second year under the wonderful guidance and tutelage of Sandra, who I originally discovered through the website bark.com. Each lesson, I feel it just gets better and better. Working via zoom is incredibly effective and I believe I benefit just as much as I would if I were there in her studio. I have expanded my vocal skills, learnt so many techniques to develop my singing voice and have established a personal performance style. Together we have selected a repertoire of musical pieces that suit me best. I also get the opportunity to perform on our frequent group zoom concerts, that can often reach out to a worldwide audience. There is also a group vocal practice zoom, which is great because I get the opportunity to meet the other students. Every lesson is an inspiration and Sandra supports and encourages me throughout. As I have stated previously, I can’t stress enough how much joy I get from each lesson and from being part of her student group.
Sandra is a wonderful teacher. She has a thorough knowledge of technique but is also a trained counsellor. She is incredibly patient but also knows when to nudge me out of my comfort zone. I came to her with zero experience but the training has been incredibly valuable. A lesson with Sandra is always the highlight of my week.
Sandra understands that people are all very different, including ones with performing ambitions. She finely tailors her approach according to your aspirations and personality. She has been a rare find for me. Not only does she have vast knowledge of vocal technique, repertoire and stage craft, she also possesses expert knowledge of the complex psychology of the performer, and uses it to get the very best out of her students. Add in boundless energy and enthusiasm, and you have the winning combination to realise your dream of becoming a singing performer!
Sandra Scott as a teacher and coach, I realise... there are not enough words in the English language!
Sandra has amongst many things really shed some light on singing in a key that actually suits my voice is not only benificial physically, but can bring out the signature character of my voice as well. Within just under a year, I feel as though I've changed for the better, thanks to Sandra
My real voice is coming out and I feel unlimited"
Jocasta Roper - SopranoSandra Scott is a gem.
Inspiring, generous and infectiously in love with singing. I feel very lucky to have her in my life!​
I was very nervous at the idea of singing in front of anyone - I couldn't even sing to myself - but Sandra's good humour, warmth, encouragement and guidance combined with a profound understanding of great technique has revealed and nurtured a voice I never knew I had.
Whether you're looking to improve your voice, try something new or work on your self-confidence, I really recommend Sandra, she is not only an amazing teacher but works tirelessly to find opportunities for her studentSandra is simply amazing! Not only is she a great vocal coach but she is also very supportive and positive with all of her students.​​

She has introduced a complete new world to me, made of rich colours, inspiring music and strong emotions.

Thanks to Sandra I discovered the true sound of my voice.Sandra Scott - What a Find
Sandra's harmonies are just so beautiful, she understands the voice so well and that shows in her sublime writing for her choirs
as privileged to be part of a wonderful experience with the Wall of Sound, the Rye and London-based choir run and conducted by the talented and irrepressible Royal Academy of Music trained Sandra Scott.
is wonderful group of enormously talented singers were the musical highlight of The Silver Line's first Carols By Candlelight event set in London's oldest surviving church. St. Bartholomew the Great. They could not have delivered the selection of seasonal music more beautifully. Thank you so much to the so aptly named Wall of Sound.
​
Nina Gopal - Director of Fundraising - The Silver LineI have been having singing lessons with Sandra twice a month for at least 3 years. In that time we have built up a good relationship and have had lots of fun.
Sandra has extended my vocal range by a lot of different exercises. She has also introduced me to a lot of different songs and made me realize my own abilities. She is a very good teacher and I believe conductor.View more recommendations
