We host the best tutors. Quality of their profile, experience in their field. Alena will be happy to arrange your first lesson Singing.

About the lesson

I love the voice, it's my favourite instrument and I love helping people find their own authentic and unique sound! Singing lessons are always personalised and tailored to your particular needs. I work with singers from all over the world, so wherever you are, please get in touch!
*Lessons are 30 minutes at £45 (not 60 minutes).*

When working with the voice, it's important that it's the right fit. The vocal coaching journey can sometimes tap into emotions, insecurities and deep rooted challenges that might be tucked away. So, in order to safeguard, why not book a (free) 15 minute consultation slot with me? I'll get to find out where you're at and what's required, and you'll get to see my vibe and how I teach. I work with all levels (beginners you are happily welcomed!) and lessons are personalised to whatever needs and outcomes are required.
*The free lesson is a 15 minute consultation. PLEASE ONLY OPT FOR THIS IF YOU ARE DEFINITELY GOING TO ATTEND. Kindly check times with me BEFORE booking, as I will refuse all consultation proposals that have not been checked with me first. Thank you. *

PLEASE NOTE ALL SINGLE LESSONS AND LESSON PACKS ARE 30 MINUTES IN DURATION, NOT 60 MINUTES.

Single lessons - £45/30 minutes = £45

*Any packs ordered are 30 minutes per session not 60 minutes* (e.g. a 5 pack bundle = x5/30 minute sessions. 10 pack bundles = x10/30 minute sessions).

For in person lessons, two hours must be selected within the same booking.

Please do not book any consultation times or lessons times without checking with me first (to avoid disappointment and refusals due to time clashes).

Thank you and I hope to meet you soon :)

About Alena

I am a creative professional with a passion for music and singing. I have a Master of Arts, Bachelor of Music and have trained in Speech Level Singing, The Estill Method and Complete Vocal Technique. I take an integrative and holistic approach to teaching and cultivate vocal health as well as best practice. I teach internationally and have been a vox coach for the last 15 years within the music industry, TV and education.

As a vocal coach I specialise in contemporary styles (Pop, RnB etc.) and I've coached British RnB singer Ella Mai, Billboard recording artist IAGO as well as up-and-coming UK MC, Queen Millz. I also work on The Voice Kids UK and have scouted rising stars for DJ’s and labels. My specialisms are: confidence building, performance anxiety and stage fright and vocal technique and hygiene.

I am also a singer-songwriter and you can listen to my music here: (concealed information)

Perfect! Choosing Alena as a singing tutor was the best thing I’ve done in the last 10years to help towards rebuilding my confidence in singing. She is so knowledgeable and skilled and made me feel completely at ease with singing in front of her. I’ve never sang in front of anyone and although my voice was more shaky then when I sing alone cause of nerves, Alena was amazing at letting me know how great a job I had done and that that was infact as scary as it would be. She’s helped to give me a new lease of confidence which goes far beyond singing, it’s something that we are working on together that I know will stem in to my everyday life. I want to be sure to be able to sing to the best of my abilities for my son so that he can forever remember my singing voice. Thank you Alena looking forward to our next lesson!

Perfect! My first lesson with Miss Alena was delightful! I am a very shy person who don't usually talk with stranger, but Alena has this vibe that can take away your nervous. She is very patient and welcoming person as well! She knows what she's doing in her teaching, I liked her way of teaching form the first class already. Furthermore, she also has a great singing voice which is one of the reason I want to have lesson with her. I can't wait for the next lesson!

Perfect! Alena is the best instructor I've ever learned from. Not only does she bring the brightest energy to the lesson, she explains complex (and often quite abstract) topics really well. Alena's puts a lot of thought into her class structure and tailors it according to your goals regardless if you're a newbie like me or an advanced vocalist. She peppers in so many AHA moments that have changed the way I approach singing. Alena is a pro at what she does. If you are looking to improve your voice, there is no one better than Alena to help you do it.

Perfect! Alena was prompt and very professional when responding to my initial enquiry on her availability to coach my 9 year old daughter, Isabelle. It was immediately evident that she has significant experience and expertise with children, as she successfully eased Isabelle’s initial anxiety during our first consultation. She’s the right balance between friendly and goal-oriented, and I left the discussion with a strong conviction that she would encourage and nurture her interest in singing. We’re both really looking forward to future lessons!.

Isabelle, did well today. We've started a song together and learnt about 'call and response'. Next lesson, she will tell me her 3 song choices and we will continue with the 'call and response' song.

My 6 year-old daughter has been having singing lessons with Alena for one year. I was immediately very impressed with how Alena could manage the fleeting attention span of a 6 year-old with her caring, bubbly and engaging manner. My daughter’s confidence and singing ability has improved rapidly thanks to Alena and the wonderful rapport she has built with her. Alena has a unique understanding of what my daughter enjoys- imaginative songwriting is something she has inspired her to do inside and outside of her lessons. She very much enjoys writing and performing songs with Alena which is a real joy to watch. Alena will often adapt her lessons to accommodate my daughters evolving musical tastes which I think is testament to her attentive and encouraging nature. I would highly recommend Alena to anyone looking for a vocal coach.

Alena is very patient and caring. She has helped me develop not only technically but artistically. Her ability to interpret songs and help me bring that special interpretation in my songs sets her apart from other coaches. She also genuinely cares for her students.

Alena is one of the best singing coaches I’ve ever had, from the first few lessons she knew exactly what we had to work on and organized the next few lessons concordantly which has made a massive improvement in my voice. She’s been able to expand my range with personalized vocal exercises and helped me manage to hit the high notes in my favorite song while making sure that your voice isn’t straining or it’s too hard for your range at the moment. She prioritizes the students wants to make the lesson as engaging as possible and is flexible if the student wants to do another song or another technique all while maintaining constant progress. She’s super organized and overall an amazing funny person and outstanding teacher. I really recommend for any student since her abilities are so varied!

Alena has helped me so much, especially with my confidence. I was so shy and really nervous about singing in front of anyone else but she has been really patient and helped me to believe in myself a lot more. She's also really fun and always has a way of explaining things that make sense to me. She's helped me to find and connect with the meaning in the music rather than just singing the words. I would 100% recommend her as a vocal teacher.
