Lisa Byrnes, SINGING TEACHER
“one of the best music educators that it has been my pleasure to work with”
(The director of The Music Practice – Gillian Bonham)
"a highly effective teaching talent"
(Peter Calvo. Director of The Australian Institute of Music)
Lisa Byrnes (B.A Mus; B.Mus Ed; M.Perf Op) has taught hundreds of people to sing - from absolute beginners to advanced professional performers.
Lisa teaches singing from her London studio and online (zoom) to adults and children all around the world.
Lisa's singing teaching is inspired by her extensive studies into voice, her own singing and performing and her many years of singing teaching.
Dynamic, intelligent, creative, and versatile, Lisa has taught singing at The Australian Institute of Music and The Music Practice in Sydney. She has designed and taught many creative music, singing and drama programmes and workshops for schools, communities and opera companies in Australia and the United Kingdom.
"I was nervous about booking singing lessons but having found Lisa Byrnes I really
wish I had started years earlier! Apart from being a fabulous mezzo soprano, Lisa
is a talented and inspirational teacher. Her enthusiasm and encouragement make
her pupils feel confident and happy about their voices. Her love of music is
infectious and her expert knowledge of all types of music impressive. Lisa is
positive at all times. She approaches singing difficulties with tips and techniques
that can produce truly astonishing results and always provide solutions. I am an
amateur, ageing choral singer but Lisa has made me feel that my voice can still
improve. My lessons (and diva moments!!) with her are uplifting and fun."
"I was a complete beginner – I wasn’t even in the choir at school - when I found Lisa
three years ago. Now I hold my own and sing with confidence with the semi-choir
of a large choral society. Lisa has a beautiful voice herself but never lets me feel
intimidated by that. She is unfailingly encouraging and positive - I leave every
lesson inspired and excited to sing better. She identifies why I get stuck and then
draws on her bottomless well of clever tips and tricks to help me sing well, breathe
properly and enjoy my music. She is a joy."
"My daughter loves her lessons. She has made amazing progress and has received a distinction in all of her ABRSM exams since learning with Lisa. She just completed Grade 5 ABRSM singing exam and received a distinction again and full marks for two of her songs. Lisa is a fun, knowledgable and inspiring teacher. Thank you!"
