We are delighted to be able to offer private tuition - available daytimes and evenings. Please contact us to book your session. All lessons are recorded to CD for you to use for practice between lessons.

KIDS' SUMMER SCHOOL
Over 3 days you will rehearse a Pop song chosen by you and one of our expert vocal teachers in a small group. You will then record your song using recording equipment at the studios. We will then help you to develop an idea for a Pop-video to go with the song and on the final day you'll get to record in and around the area to complete the footage for your video (which will then be taken and edited into your very own music video!)

This 3 day course will run from Tuesday 3rd August to Thursday 5th August 10am-3pm each day. There are only 15 places on the course so don't miss out- book now to avoid disappointment! The price is just £75 for the 3 days and also includes a copy of your finished music video which will be sent to you once the editing process is complete.

Beginner’s private tuition
Lessons focus on getting you to get the most out of your voice. We may not be able to turn you into the next Mariah Carey or Michael Jackson but you will certainly see a marked improvement in your ability to hold notes, pitch appropriately and extend your range.

Professional’s private tuition
Whether or not you’ve had training before, I can almost guarantee that there is more to your voice then you even know. We’ll deal with issues of eliminating the break between chest voice and head voice, taking the pressure away to relieve fatigue and developing range and flexibility. Heather will help you to cope with the demands of a heavy gigging schedule or prepare you for an important audition. Regular voice coaching is as important as a professional athletes coaching. If you’re not taking care of your instrument you can end up damaging yourself. Heather will make sure you are always on track.

Adult Choir
We cover music from pop, musical theatre and anything else that takes our fancy. This is purely for fun- we don't take ourselves too seriously, and is open to anyone over the age of 16- whether you've sung before or not! Please contact us to book a place.
 
Kids GLEE group
This is a group for talented and gifted young singers aged 10-16. Entry is by invitation or audition only. We take pop and musical theatre songs, harmonize and then choreograph them. Dance experience isn't essential but certainly helps! (Please note that auditions are very informal- and you will find out on the day whether you have a place in the group.)

This group is given lots of performance opportunities and will be entered into competitions and professional work when up to standard.

Lessons Via Skype
Heather is now able to offer lessons via the internet using a free internet calling service called ‘Skype.’ All you need for this is a good microphone and camera set up on your computer. These lessons work in a similar way to an ordinary lesson- with the only difference being that you are in charge or recording your lessons. Payment for these lessons can be made using PayPal (please note there is a £2 charge to pay using this method.)

Performance Coaching
These lessons will help you to develop your stage presence. We will show you how to interpret lyrics correctly and adapt your movement and expressions to match the style of music you are singing. We will also cover basic choreography, confidence building and how to deal with stage fright and nerves. These sessions are designed to work alongside your vocal technique lessons and are particularly useful if you are preparing for an audition or competition.

Performance Parties
Performance parties give group singers and students who take private tuition the opportunity to show off all the skills they have acquired whilst studying at Heather Baker Singing Studios. All performers are encouraged to invite friends and family along to a laid back performance to watch all the singers (and have a couple of drinks!) This insures that we have a friendly audience to play to who will be encouraging towards some of our more novice singers. Tickets must be purchased for the event.

Laura has grown up with a love of music that was inspired by her grandfather who sang across the North West and Wales. In her early 20s she studied for a National Diploma in Performing Arts at Abraham Moss College, North Manchester, where she was an active member of the student faculty producing, directing and performing in a number of shows. After graduating from Abraham Moss she moved to Spain where she turned semi professional; forming a number of bands that performed right across Majorca.
