I’m Cally, a singing teacher based in Hale, Altrincham, with a background in classical singing, opera and early music. I teach children, teenagers and adults, helping singers of all ages and abilities develop their voices, build confidence and discover the enjoyment of singing.

I grew up in Chester and studied classical singing at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, graduating in 2015 with a first-class degree and winning the Chris Petty English Song Prize. I went on to complete my Master’s at the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague in 2018, before performing with companies and ensembles including the Dutch Radio Choir, Dutch National Opera, The Grange Festival, the BBC Daily Service Singers and Brighton Early Music Festival.

Alongside my musical career, I’ve developed a particular interest in the relationship between breath, body and voice. Having experienced performance anxiety myself, I initially turned to yoga as a way of managing the physical and mental demands of performing. This grew into a passion, and I’m now also a qualified 450-hour yoga teacher. My understanding of breath and body awareness continues to inform my approach to vocal teaching.

I believe singing lessons should be about more than simply getting the notes right. They’re an opportunity to develop musical skills, explore your voice, express yourself and grow in confidence. Whether you’re taking your first singing lesson, preparing for an exam or audition, hoping to join a choir or simply singing for pleasure, I aim to create a friendly, supportive environment where you can develop at your own pace.

Having recently moved back to the North West with my husband and daughter after living in The Netherlands and then London, I’m delighted to be offering vocal lessons from my home studio in Hale, Altrincham.

I look forward to helping you find your voice!
