About Jessica
I am a trained classical soprano and have a wide range of performing experience both on stage (Royal Opera, English Touring Opera, Opera North Education) and on the concert platform (St John’s Smith Square, Three Choirs Festival, Aldeburgh, Brighton, Exeter, Kings Lynn, Newbury, York Festivals). I also have a great deal of experience in performing twentieth century and new music and currently have a 21st century song project called Living Songs.
I have considerable experience in music education and community music both as a singing teacher and a vocal animateur. I have worked with people of all ages and abilities in both a workshop and one to one setting and have run projects, course and classes for music hubs, orchestras, disability and mental health organisations. I have led community singing projects for the Royal Opera, Opera North and English Touring Opera and international projects in Belize and India as well as leading a range of workshops from 'Find Your Voice' sessions to performance workshops in UK universities.
As part of mid career CPD, I recently completed a two year course at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, as part of continuing my professional development - a Post-Graduate Certificate in Performance Teaching (Higher Education elective) and was made a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
I am the Vocal Consultant for THAMES, the music hub in Tower Hamlets and I teach singing at The Perse School (Upper) and at St Catharine's College, University of Cambridge. I also run young choirs at the Centre for Young Musicians in Peterborough (PCYM), a division of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

Thank you for your interest!
With over 20 years teaching and performing experience, I offer singing lessons for individuals or small groups (2 or 3 students/colleagues) packed with all kinds of information! Breathing technique and vocal warm-ups, exploring a range of song repertoire, musicianship skills, confidence building, audition and exam preparation (for those who want to!) and most importantly, finding a real enjoyment of singing - all in a friendly and professional environment. I have run a successful singing teaching practice for adults and children in Cambridge since 2006, working with a wide variety of people and teaching a range of musical and vocal styles. I teach online and in person.
I have an enhanced DBS certificate, public liability insurance and am a member of AOTOS (Association of Singing Teachers) and the Musicians' Union. I also have the NSPCC/Musicians Union 'Keeping Children Safe in Music' Child Protection certification and Safeguarding in Music Education certificate 2024.

I have been having singing lessons with Jessica for almost a year, I really look forward to my lessons with her, they are always fun and engaging and my knowledge of singing has improved hugely during that time.
Jessica is kind, understanding and patient at all times and I always look forward to my next lesson.I started as a complete beginner and Jessica quickly made me feel comfortable. She has been extremely flexible and has allowed me to sing whatever I like. I have felt very supported and reassured throughout our lessons. I am extremely glad I chose to start my singing journey with Jessica, I honestly feel that Jessica knows my voice better than I do!
Fantastic singing teacher. Understands individual needs and is always encouraging and supportive. Lessons are always engaging. Jessica has done wonders for my voice. Would highly recommend.
Jessica is very friendly and easy to talk to. She gave me confidence to sing out, whilst improving my technique and range. My voice improved hugely over five months of weekly lessons. I thoroughly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their singing.
I have known Jessica for six years in her capacity as a singing teacher at Peterborough Centre for Young Musicians. Jessica is a passionate and engaging teacher who strives for each and every one of her students to reach their full potential through lessons that are challenging but always fun. With attention to detail, excellent technique and a broad and exciting repertoire, Jessica inspires students to become musically intelligent and self-motivated singers.
Jessica has a wealth of experience, is entirely professional in all ways, and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to other Superprof members.We first found Jessica on this platform and meet in person for lessons. She is known and trusted in the education and music community. Jessica has been a fantastic teacher for my daughters aged 11 and 7. We have been very pleased with her commitment to teaching. She is always on time, well prepared, provides course materials, is adaptable to each student, and communicates well both in and out of lesson time. Jessica is upbeat and cheerful, uses positive language and is highly focused on student progress. She is a talented musician and can accompany herself and/or the student on a piano which makes her teaching methods particularly efficient and enriching. I have no hesitation recommending her to anyone, for the above mentioned reasons, and because I have noticed she can adapt to different personalities, can understand students’ individual weaknesses, and is so enthusiastic about singing.
Jessica is a truly amazing singing teacher. She is incredibly encouraging, supportive and dedicated, and has a wealth of knowledge to help target specific areas for improvement. Lessons with Jessica are always so fun, positive and inspiring. I wholeheartedly recommend Jessica as she is not only a fantastic teacher, but also a kind, caring and passionate individual.
