Coaching
Vocal coaching
Individual vocal coaching, choir workshops and creative education.
Individual vocal work
Katy is a dedicated and experienced vocal coach, whose passion is to help others unlock their full creative potential. As well as teaching individuals, she has facilitated workshops for choirs across the country, helping participants to feel more confident and get more from their singing. All workshops are tailored to suit the individual needs of the group.
A holistic approach
Work can explore:
- Posture and breathing
- Improving diction whilst maintaining the quality of the sound
- How mental and physical wellbeing affects singing
- Awareness and technique through body-intelligence and mind-intelligence
Katy also explores performance under pressure and different approaches to learning and practice, helping you find what works best for you.
Choirs, schools & communities
Katy has worked on schools and family-focused projects with Oxford Song, as well as outreach projects for the Musicians’ Company with the Merton Dementia Hub.
Schools project recording
As Oxford Song Young Artists, Katy and duo partner Rustam Khanmurzin were part of the team delivering the 2022 Schools Programme. Working with composer and animateur John Webb, they facilitated weekly workshops at St. Frideswide Primary School, Oxford. Each class composed its own song and performed the complete song cycle in the Sheldonian Theatre.
Katy and Rustam also curated and delivered the 2022 Oxford Song Cushion Concerts. These Halloween-themed 30–40 minute sessions combined warm-up games, music and movement, exploration and storytelling with songs by Rebecca Clarke, Schubert and Saint-Saëns. As Musicians’ Company Young Artists and award holders, they collaborated with the Merton Dementia Hub to bring songs and stories to residents. These projects are examples of Katy’s wider education and outreach work, alongside individual and group coaching.
