“Hilary is a personable teacher, who has adapted to my daughter’s neurodivergence and built a positive, comfortable relationship. Her musical confidence and skill has grown and she recently gained a distinction in her first music exam.” Mum of S.M.

Hilary Selby has helped many singers to achieve their goals and can help you to:

• Prepare for auditions and performances
• Successfully pass singing exams (ABRSM, Trinity, Trinity Rock and Pop, Rockschool and LCM grades/diploma)
• Improve your vocal health, extend your range and develop stamina
• Build your confidence in your voice and singing ability
• Have fun with your singing
• Rehabilitate your voice after an illness/vocal trauma

In your singing lesson, I will teach you how to sing with a healthy vocal technique, enabling you to get the best out of your voice and have fun along the way. I will show you how to warm up your voice and give you vocal exercises to improve your stamina, range and flexibility. Songs are carefully chosen to suit your ability, age and musical tastes. General musicianship, aural skills and performance technique are taught alongside vocal technique. I also teach ABRSM music theory on request.

After an operation on my vocal folds, a voice therapist at the hospital recommended having singing lessons to help with recovery.  I asked around and was very lucky to be put in touch with Hilary.  She has extensive technical knowledge of the mechanics of voice production
and is also wonderfully musical – with a knack for spotting the slightest thing that’s not quite right, even when sight-reading a tricky piano part.  There is something new in every lesson, and always something else to aim for.  I recommend Hilary wholeheartedly to anyone who wants to improve their singing. Thank you for being so patient and for an amazing journey (so far)!
