Here are a few words from people Jay has taught:
“I visited Jay with just an interest in music and a recommendation from a friend: despite being tone deaf for the initial lessons, I now have a repertoire of songs confidently performed in concerts. She is patient, persistent, encouraging and professional. She is also kind and has a great sense of humour when appropriate. The lessons are fun and THE perfect antidote for a stressful day in the office. Learning to sing has enhanced my life beyond measure and Jay is a wonderful teacher.”
Stefan
“I LOVE my lessons with Jay. She is kind, generous, encouraging and fun. I had no experience of singing when I started and no aspirations – I just wanted to have a go! Several years later I am still enjoying it and improving. Jay is a brilliant teacher and has a beautiful voice.”
Sue G
“Jay encouraged me not to be shy and I found the confidence to really use my voice.”
Julie
“I think my testimonial will be – such a brilliant hour spent building confidence, not just in singing, a superb therapy session singing and laughing, the best medicine ever – Jay ought to be available on prescription!”
Sue M
“For years I carried a stigma of being told I couldn’t be in the school choir because I couldn’t sing. As a result of Jay’s motivational sessions, I hit notes that I never deemed attainable. Then I quickly gained the confidence to join a choir and singing workshops. Not only is Jay very knowledgeable about maximising one’s potential as a singer but also singularly adept at selecting a wide range of music to suit different voices. To top it all, Jay makes singing such fun yet disciplined.”
Yeside
“Jay is an inspirational teacher. She gives her students confidence in their own abilities and they learn to stretch themselves beyond what they think they are capable of. Her enthusiasm is infectious and in working with her choir she has brought out the best in each member.”
Sue
“Jay’s musicality shines through everything she does.”
