"Hello singers! Izzy here. Welcome to The Becoming Voice Studio!

​

I offer one-on-one weekly in person singing lessons, songwriting lessons, and artist development mentoring within Greater Geelong.

​

In my experience: 

​

The level of safety we feel when we sing, directly relates to the level of safety we feel when we use the voice in general.

 

I have personally experienced this, and have observed this in every singing student I’ve worked with over my 8+ years of teaching - whether it be with young children, teens, or adults.

 

This may be especially prevalent if you are someone who experiences or has experienced:

 

• Bullying

• Anxiety

• Trauma

• Neurodivergence

• Mental Health Struggles

• Not feeling heard, feeling silenced, feeling like your voice doesn't matter

• Been criticised when making mistakes

• Perfectionism

​

I draw from music therapy techniques to guide our journey, so our work will look a little different to that of your standard singing teacher.

​

My intention is to provide a judgement-free space, where:

​

• safety and trust in the voice can flourish

• curiosity and confidence in self-expression can grow

• your vocal technique and abilities strengthen

• you can meet your vocal goals

​

For some, our work together may even lead into songwriting and/or performing, which may sound a little daunting at first! Ultimately, I believe in allowing the student to take the lead, and follow their guidance as to when and where they wish to venture into new territory.

​​

Over the past 4+ years, my work has focused on providing music-based wellbeing support for children with mild intellectual disability and/or neurodivergence. This involved utilising music therapy techniques through singing lessons, songwriting lessons, instrumentation lessons, music production lessons, and performance practise. 

 

Across my 8+ years of teaching, I have worked in a variety of settings: as a one-on-one voice teacher (both children and adults), co-running a high school band program, mentoring songwriting for a youth program, working as a guest speaker, and supporting students completing their Diploma of Music Performance.

​

I have a strong passion for helping those who may be on the quieter side find a way towards self expression through music.

​​​

I believe all of us are on our own individual path to finding our voice, and I am here to help you find yours."
