Over four years ago when learning the ukulele for the first time, my tutor Jessica Bowie suggested “Lets sing a song” After a quick deep breath I busked my way through “Hey Jude” and yes it was not that great. I never envisaged doing any of this singing stuff and always thought of myself as a player/aspiring musician. Five years on, I confess to absolutely loving all aspects of singing. The voice is like any other musical instrument, it takes time to develop and refine. After a few attempts at finding local teachers with varying success, I finally found a great tutor in Agi. Not only does she have a superb voice and is an artist in her own right, but she has the exact technical skills and the teaching skills to really help others.
When I first contacted Agi, 18 months ago, she was so booked up that the only slot was 8pm on a Friday night. I booked one lesson and was immediately so convinced that for the last year I see her twice a week. Her input has been invaluable in helping me not only develop my own confidence in singing but massively accelerating my writing skills and the new Caravan of Dreams material is IMO my best yet. I’m focusing increasingly on expression and developing vocal range. On the Caravan of Dreams debut album Agi coached me to do a three part harmony for the title track, which I would never have thought possible.
I also have a massive appreciation for singers who learn how to develop their voices. Its a bucket of hard work, but truly inspiring and I can honestly say I really love it. In a week’s time I’ll be doing a couple of solo songs for the very first time at the charity event linked below and I strongly recommend supporting this evening as well as exploring the extraordinary medium of singing. I suspect when you do so, you’ll surprise yourself and find it genuinely liberating
