Supportive singing lessons for young performers, beginners and audition-ready voices.

Lessons are shaped around the singer in front of Aya: their voice, their confidence, their goals and the songs that make them want to sing in the first place.

About Aya
Portrait of Aya

Professional stage experience, brought back into relaxed one-to-one lessons.

A working performer who knows how singing feels in the room, on stage and under pressure.

Aya is a professional singer with a performing career that spans the globe — from headlining entertainment with Celebrity Cruises to taking the stage at the Royal Albert Hall. She played the title role in Cinderella at the Stafford Gatehouse Theatre, bringing a full musical theatre pedigree alongside her concert and contemporary work.

That range — musical theatre, classical, concert and contemporary — shapes how she teaches. Lessons are built around your voice and your goals, whether that's singing with more confidence, preparing an audition piece or finding a healthier way to approach high notes.

Based in Portsmouth, Aya teaches in person and online, working with beginners, developing singers and young performers who want practical technique without losing the joy of the song.
