If you are a beginner or an advanced singer I am here to help. I offer vocal coaching and singing lessons and have a varied and vast knowledge of the voice and the music industry. I have performed on main stages at Glastonbury Festival, sung backing vocals on Xfactor and I continue to be an active performer in addition to teaching singing to people aged 7 up to 80 years old of mixed abilities from professionals preparing for tours to people who want to sing at their wedding or feel more confident at karaoke! People who want to explore their unique sound or get the confidence to perform at an open mic. I love to help people find their voice and build strong, healthy vocal techniques. I believe anyone can learn to sing!

This is what my students have said about their lessons:

"Katarina really did help me achieve a dream. I wanted to try out open mic nights, singing some of my own songs, but I never felt the confidence in my voice to try. After just a short time I was up on stage, giving it my all, and have loved every opportunity since." - - Chris Gibbon, Brighton

"Katarina is the most encouraging, infectiously enthusiastic teacher I have ever had" George Thomas, 28, Brighton

"Katarina is the real deal. I enjoy every lesson we have because she is so passionate about music and helping others develop their voices." - Rachael Dines, Worthing
