Shan trained as a speech and language therapist and has combined her interest in singing with her expertise to develop and lead a series of workshops on topics related to the use of the voice and on how to look after it. First presented at the Baring-Gould Song School, the workshops have now been presented at a number of singing weekends and festivals.
She also coaches individuals on these skills working from home in Gloucester and if you would be interested in finding out more about private voice coaching please contact her by using the Contact Form

Our voices are incredibly important to every one of us. We use them for so many reasons – to work, to play, to laugh, to cry, to express complex thoughts, to be creative, to communicate our feelings – and to sing. I believe that singing is one of the most delightful and profound things that human beings do – and that everyone can do it! Like any skill, singing is something that we can learn more about, and if we practise, then we get better at it. In the case of the voice, it is also something that can get damaged if we do not take proper care of it.
