As a specialist in vocal health and a respected university lecturer, I've worked with a diverse range of singers in my seventeen years in the performance industry.
It brings me great joy to have helped hundreds of singers maintain and rehabilitate their voice, with an emphasis on long term technique. Vocal classes and singing lessons are available in the heart of Sydney's Inner West for all types of contemporary singers, from professional & advanced to beginners & intermediate. |
Your Vocal Health
For singers, whose profession relies on the consistency and availability of their voice, maintaining vocal health is extremely important. Understanding how to look after your instrument in a safe way, as well as knowing what to do when you're experiencing difficulties, will ensure you're well positioned to have a long singing career.
As someone who's been there, done that, I'm passionate about helping singers overcome their vocal disorders/difficulties & grow as performers, and love working with dedicated industry professionals who want to take their craft to the next level.

Singing Teacher - ContemporarySinging lessons for advanced, intermediate and beginners are available by appointment for 30, 45 and 60 minutes in Summer Hill, Sydney. As each singer is different, I strive to tailor vocal lessons to the individual performer.
I'm currently a Contemporary Voice Lecturer at JMC Academy in Ultimo, Sydney. Previously I was a vocal teacher and studio director at Elite Vocal Academy, a contemporary music studio which I founded in 2010. My tertiary training began at the Canberra School of Music under a two-year vocal scholarship with jazz great Gery Scott. I completed a Bachelor of Creative Arts: Performance (majoring in Music and Drama) at the University of Wollongong and it was there I developed an interest in vocal health. Following that degree I undertook and now hold an Anatomy and Physiology Diploma, Estill Level 1 & 2 and Music Teachers NSW Accreditation. |

Testimonials

Nadine is the real deal. I personally have struggled with voice problems for most of my career, until Nadine came into my life and spoke honestly with me about my voice. She helped me to start an open dialogue about all the things I knew where happening but was too scared to admit. Nadine's methods are extremely effective, easy to understand and straight to the point and with a little practice on your side Nadine can have you singing like you have never sung before, problem free and with ease. |

Every lesson is perfectly planned for the student's level and ability with the end goal always in sight. I came to Nadine with a voice problem and damaged confidence.
