Many have asked me about live lessons and cannot get to me for location reasons. Now there is a way of having private one to one lessons with me, that is even better than in person.
Here I can create personalised lessons with you that you are able to keep on video instead of trying to remember what it was you learned in the live lesson and was shown only once. Using the virtual lesson, you get to be able to review your lesson over and over until you have it perfectly retained.
If you would like a lesson with me, enrol at my lessons on Ashbury Music Hall. I will recreate my entire course there this weekend, and you also have the beauty of being able to ask me specifics, record using their tools and having personalised feedback.
In my experience, the True Voice Course® furnishes, in a logical and practical manner, all the elements necessary for successful development of the singing voice. Naturally, one does not develop a mature singing voice overnight. Nevertheless, in the approximately ten weeks during which I have been studying this method, both myself and others have noticed a marked improvement in my range, intonation, resonance, breathing, phrasing, and ease of singing. I fully expect this progress to continue as the course is a joy to use and I find myself looking forward to each session. Moreover, the exercises and information presented in the True Voice Course® are of such fundamental value that they will remain applicable throughout one's vocal career in order to keep one's voice in top condition. It is therefore with much enthusiasm that I recommend the True Voice Course® to anyone who is interested in learning to sing or who wants to improve the level of performance they have already achieved.
Happy singing!

This book brings together my knowledge and experiences working as a musician, businesswoman, singer/songwriter, nutritionist, Bach flower practitioner, energy healer, sound healer and voice teacher. In a variety of ways people, communication, health, music and voice have been my whole life.
I take you on a journey through the four levels of your being – physical, e-motional, mental and spiritual - demonstrating the connections I have made to show that the voice comes from the heart.
The book includes anatomy & physiology, aspects of my experience with voice, and knowledge within complementary medicine. I include voice case studies and quotes, plus references for further insights and reading into the concepts presented in the book.
It is not a “voice technique manual” or a book on “voice disorders”. It is a complete picture of the voice as part of our whole being. It is also an insight into how important it is for singers, healers and teachers to really understand the power of sound vibration and words, that make up, and influence our voice.
I hope you enjoy the book. My heart’s voice is here to share with all of you.
The purchase price is £4.99 and it is available through:-
If ever there was any proof of my insistence on the "voice of the heart" in action...here it is in this video of a deaf girl singing! It's not a song as we know it, watch her carefully and listen, even if it seems a bit painful to listen to:-
Conventionally it is believed that the larynx can only emit sounds that the ear can hear, so how does that explain this girls capacity to make a sound?
The answer, the voice comes from our heart, our soul...that is why music is the universal language! This girl is singing her rhythm and vibration!

I'd love to get the group interacting...what would you like to discuss first?
Shall we just introduce ourselves and what we would like to get out of being in the group?
I'm here to discuss the voice in all aspects being a singer, healer and teacher/workshop/seminar leader as well as having extensive sales presentation experience.
Do you want to just learn more about singing or how to best use the voice in general?
Look forward to your replies!
love & blessings Hilary
