Singing lessons in St Georges Basin
Find your voice with Anika at Jervis Bay School of Music in St Georges Basin. Singing lessons are one-on-one, for kids, teens and adults, from first-timers to experienced singers, and your first lesson is a free trial.
What you'll learn
- Breathing and support, so your voice has power without strain.
- Pitch and ear training, so you sing in tune with confidence.
- Extending your range safely, and moving smoothly between your low and high notes.
- Tone, diction and expression, so the song means something.
- Microphone technique and performing in front of people.
- Harmonies, and singing while you play guitar or piano.
Singing is the most personal instrument there is. Lessons start where your voice is today and build from there, with songs you actually want to sing.
Who singing lessons suit
As a rough guide, children can start singing lessons from about seven or eight. Young voices are still developing, so lessons focus on healthy habits and having fun.
Teens and adults of every level are welcome, including people who are nervous about singing in front of anyone. Singing also pairs well with piano or guitar lessons if you'd like to accompany yourself.
Your teacher
Anika teaches singing at Jervis Bay School of Music. Lessons are one-on-one, so you can work on the songs you love, at your own pace, in a room with no audience.
Practising at home
Warm up before you sing, drink plenty of water, and record yourself on your phone now and then to hear your progress. Five to ten minutes of warm-ups plus a run through your song on most days makes a big difference.

Questions parents ask
What if I can't sing?
Singing is a skill, and it can be learnt. Most people improve quickly once they learn to breathe properly and really listen.
Will lessons strain my child's voice?
No. Lessons focus on healthy technique, and a teacher can spot habits that cause strain before they become a problem.
What songs can I sing?
Pop, musical theatre, rock, country, folk: bring the songs you love and Anika will help you find the right key.
Do I need a microphone?
No. You'll use your natural voice in lessons. Microphone technique comes in when you're getting ready to perform.
Can I sing at the concert?
Yes, if you'd like to. Students can perform at our end-of-year concert, and there's no pressure if you'd rather not.
