ABOUT ME​

Hi, I'm Leanne. I am a huge fan of singing. HUGE. It's possible that the only thing I love more than singing is the feeling of helping a frustrated singer unlock their voice. Throughout my 17 year career as a choral specialist, as well as my own journey through voice loss, I have been absorbing skills from the many supportive professionals around me. Choral clinicians, psychologists, physiotherapists, speech language pathologists, occupational therapists… all of this beautiful information has truly shaped the way I see the voice, and the brain and body in which it lives. Whether it's through an individual lesson, a group rehearsal, or an intentionally crafted choral composition, I take great delight in helping people find a healthy and supported way to sing.​​​
