Singing Teacher Bournemouth | Bel Canto Bournemouth

"The voice is improving, as I have embraced your exercises. I have more breath control and feel as though I'm singing in a sort of a column, where there is no registers or breaks in the voice. The top is getting easier. I am actually happy with the results so far. I can vocalise on the e vowel, which I never could do. You have greatly influenced my thinking. Thank you for the wonderful lessons."

About the School

Bel Canto and General Italian technique is taught to all students attending LNS for all musical styles from opera to popular. Bel Canto is recognisable by its bright, clear and youthful sound with fullness, richness and apparent ease in singing. More information can be found on the page ‘Bel Canto Technique’. All pupils find great joy and personal achievement in their singing as well as academic and professional achievement.

All voices can be vulnerable to incorrect vocal techniques including children’s voices, so as well as nurturing the adult voice, great care is taken in nurturing the young voices of children through to teenage.

Special Needs for Adults and Children:

Young children are taught breathing, humming, diction, interpretation, repertoire and warm up exercises. The young voice must be allowed to develop naturally and never pushed or forced. The child sound is the basis on which to build the adult voice.

Lessons are specifically tailored for the professional singers needs.

Many students from LNS gain places in Performing Arts and Music Collages and Conservatoires across the country, with other students going on to professional and semi-professional singing careers in classical, concert and recital work, opera, operetta, musicals and light entertainment. Due to the school’s high reputation, it has attracted professional singers and teachers from abroad.

GCSE and A level music students also come for extra singing lessons to prepare for their exams at school. Students at LNS are given the opportunity to take ABRSM singing exams, enter music festival competitions and take part in concert performances.

Anyone wanting more self-confidence and voice projection will also benefit from lessons at LNS.

LNS gives regular workshops and masterclasses on Bel Canto technique and Vocal Anatomy for adults and young singers. Students of the school who have reached a good level of vocal technique may be given an opportunity to take part in a demonstration. Everyone is welcome.

All students are taught the basics of vocal anatomy, Bel Canto and general Italian techniques. The Bel Canto technique is different from others as it focuses on the use of the breath and its resonating areas, Imposto, open vowels and the legato line.

It has long been known since the times of Pythagoras, that music and especially singing is good for our health. This has now become widely recognised in all fields of life, which LNS very much believes in.

Using her singing techniques, Michelle has worked with children and adults who have varying degrees of special needs, researching the effects of singing, resonance and breathing. Applying Bel Canto techniques had a positive impact on social and learning skills, concentration, communication and confidence. All students are welcome and each session will be individually tailored.
