The most experienced Singing Coach in London …..Enhance your vocal and singing skills with Singing Coach and Psychotherapist Sandra Scott.

I am a Royal Academy of Music trained highly experienced Holistic singing teacher, qualified counsellor and choral director with 30 years experience, coaching beginners to professionals working holistically to enable real and lasting vocal confidence

Why Choose Me!

I believe my teaching methodology is transformational due to several key factors that combine the strengths of a robust vocal technique with therapeutic insights. Here's a breakdown of why this synthesis can be so effective:

1. Holistic Approach: By integrating vocal technique and therapy, I address both the physical and emotional aspects of voice. This comprehensive approach ensures my students to not only develop technical skills but also gain confidence and emotional resilience.

2. Personalised Learning. My experience as a therapist allows me to tailor my teaching to individual students' needs, addressing underlying psychological barriers that might hinder vocal performance.

3. Emotional Expression .My experience of working with the inner person I believe can help you unlock your emotional potential, leading to more expressive and authentic singing. This emotional depth can significantly enhance vocal performance.

4. Stress Reduction . Techniques from therapy, such as mindfulness and relaxation, can reduce performance anxiety, allowing students to sing with greater ease and confidence.

5. Body Awareness. Both vocal training and therapy emphasise body awareness. Understanding how emotions manifest physically can help singers use their bodies more effectively to produce sound.

6..Voice and Identity. Singing often involves exploring one's identity and self-expression. Proper and safe vocal training can help students find their unique voice, both literally and metaphorically.

7. Healing Through Singing. Singing can be a therapeutic activity in itself. My thorough methodology likely helps students use singing as a form of self-care and emotional healing.

8. Increased Engagement. By addressing both the technical and emotional aspects of singing, it enables more engagement and motivation, leading to better learning outcomes.

This synthesis creates a powerful learning environment where my students can grow not only as singers but also as individuals, making the experience profoundly transformational.

- Do you have a personal message for students?

I am absolutely passionate about singing and in my many years of singing teaching I have seen real transformation through the power of the singing voice.

I teach a very strong vocal technique working holistically, taking the whole person in account and believe and hope my 35 years experience as a singer, singing coach and music director enables me to truly empathise and understand the particular pressures of the singer both beginners singing for fun or the sheer therapy of singing to the demands of the professional singer and work with each individual and unique person to bring about real and lasting change. And it's fun...I have been told by my students that they might come feeling low or tired and go out feeling bright and uplifted!

Further Professional Development
I am now also continuing my own Professional Development by studying Directing for Theatre and in furthering my skills in enabling an integration of strong emotional depth with powerful vocal confidence leading to strong story telling through song enriching stage presence and connecting with the audience big or small.
