Monika is a very supportive and encouraging tutor. Since taking lessons with her I’ve become much more confident and comfortable with singing. Would definitely recommend.

I have tried other singing coaches in the past, but none of them are a patch on Monika! I was very nervous to start with, but Monika is truly professional at putting you at your ease so you thoroughly enjoy the lesson. I know that I have improved so much and I learn something new at every time! So glad I found you!!

I began having lessons with Monika as a complete novice to singing and through her teaching I rapidly learned a great deal of vocal technique and developed my range and vocal flexibility to a level good enough to take to the stage. I would 100% recommend anyone who wants to learn to sing properly and develop their ability, confidence and technique to take up lessons with Monika.

Monika was just amazing from start to finish. Upon initially contacting her she was friendly and squeezed me into her already busy schedule. When I arrived I was met with a big smile and instantly felt at ease. I learnt so so much in the short time I had with Monika whilst learning my mums first dance as a surprise for her. Monika taught me the techniques to show off my voice to its full potential and also some tweaks to the song to suit my voice better. I wouldn’t go to anybody else now, she’s the best! My performance went so well and so much of that is down to her. Thank you xx

I started lessons with Monika after losing confidence with a TBI. Monika has a way of conveying information that is clear and easy to grasp plus her knowledge is very extensive. Monika has a terrific sense of humour. I was very nervous about starting lessons as this was really out of my comfort zone, now with the fantastic training will pick up a mic anywhere. So glad our paths met. Great lady.

I started singing lessons to combat confidence issues and in my first lesson I was doing more shaking than singing but Monika was amazing and with her support and praise I started to relax, I was finding voice . She taught me that your voice is like any other instrument, needing the right conditions to get the best results. Teaching me that posture , breathing, smiling, relaxing are all important, and not just for singing. Through my lessons with Monika I found a musical range I never knew I had and I am equipped with tools and a self awareness that have continued to help me in many aspects of my life, thanks Monika, you’re an absolute star 🤩

Monika has been absolutely amazing, after years of abusing my voice she is (with enormous patience) helping me, and in a few short months she has helped my singing so much, my confidence has grown and my voice has improved so much with her expert knowledge and tuition. Thank you Monika xx

I have been singing for a number of years and always invested in my voice, however, I was amazed at the results achieved by Monika. Her technical skills have helped me increase my range, improve breath control, (hold those long notes), correct breathing technique and much more. I now have a range of exercises I can use either daily, or to warm up before a performance. If you add to this her warm, welcoming and relaxed (no stress) approach, if you apply yourself, you can’t help but succeed. If you are a beginner or professional, I would have no hesitation in recommending Monika.

I found Monika online after deciding I wanted to work on my voice again. I had previously had singing lessons in my early 20s, but not done anything or sang publicly for years. My intention was just to improve, just for me. Monika is amazing, a lovely kind soul who immediately puts you at ease. She has such a wealth of experience and so much knowledge. We worked on various exercises to improve breathing and technique and helped me found ‘my voice’. Monika encourages you to interpret songs in your own way and put your own spin on it. She will push you in the best way, encouraging you to practice and focus. I grew in confidence in not only singing but personally during my lessons with Monika.

I studied with Monika to improve my range, pitching and timbre. Monika provided techniques and exercises to achieve my requirements. Monika is extremely knowledgeable about her art and she imparts this knowledge and delivers her tuition with professionalism and enthusiasm. I would not hesitate to recommend her, whether you are an interested amateur who would like to learn from scratch, or a seasoned professional who is focussed on improvements in specific areas.

My daughter has been receiving singing lessons from Monika for over a year now and she has thoroughly enjoyed and found every lesson useful. She has really achieved so much from these lessons. Monika has taught Courtney different techniques, including the correct breath control and warm up exercises, which have aided my daughter to reach her full potential. This has resulted in Courtney gaining many main parts in different musicals and performances such as The Wizzard of Oz and Grease. Monika is so knowledgeable and always abe to to help our daughter perfect any song whether it be for an audition or Lamda exam. Monika provides the best support, she is a devoted and talented tutor and we were so fortunate to find her. – Courtney’s Mum

My Daughter has been receiving lessons from Monika for a couple of months now and she is thoroughly enjoying it and loving every single lesson. Monika has been teaching Jessica new techniques. All warm-up exercises, breath control, which is encouraging my daughter to come out of her shell. What Jessica likes is she gets to choose a song at the end of the lesson, and Monika teaches Jessica new ways to project the song and put her own spin on it. Monika certainly wants the best for all her students and my daughter’s confidence is coming in leaps and bounds. I would most definitely recommend Monika, she is fantastic. Look forward to my daughter working with you. – Jessica’s Mum

I have been working with Monika for a few months now, I have always wanted to be able to sing in tune for what feels a lifetime but felt so self conscious about it as the feedback growing up with my family was less than positive as they put their fingers in their ears each time I tried to belt out a song!! I had a part to sing in a play when I was around 8 years old – singing little donkey in the School Christmas play, it felt so good to sing in front of people but being told you cannot sing really knocked me.
From the very first day I met her, I knew that I would work with Monika, she made me feel it was the most natural thing in the world. After the loss of my parents I had the urge to sing, it has really helped me with the grieving process and I look forward to going each week. I have now started to pop along to open Mic sessions, not to sing but just to watch to get a feel for everything. Monika is behind me all the way, pushing me to where I never thought I would go. Monika is so talented, patient, kind, caring and fun to be around. She is an excellent voice coach and I would not hesitate to recommend her. I am really enjoying this journey – thank you Monika x
