“Thanks so much for a great session today! I feel tons better than when I walked in…”
 “…supernaturally patient…” Sathnam Ganghera, BBC Radio 4  “Am I Tone Deaf?”

Welcome to my pages!

I am Heather Maîr Thomas,  a  singer,  teacher,  actor and coach  in London.

As a singing teacher, I have considerable experience in helping anxious and shy beginners start to enjoy developing their voices.
I work with all levels of singer, from absolute beginners to names such as:

• David Tennant (Dr Who/Hamlet - RSC)
• Justin Lee Collins ( Rock of Ages/Chicago - London West End)
• Matt Willis (Wicked/ Busted/Flashdance)
• Andy Bell (Erasure)
• Guilty Pleasures
• BBC Television/Radio
• The Times 
• Kimberly Stewart

…as well as many people who,  (though may not be well-known!)  have experienced great improvement and joy in their singing.

I also coach accent, dialect, voice projection and presentation in a performance, private and corporate context.

I am a media consultant and broadcaster on the topic of singing

Just use the tabs above to find out more about me,  my singing,  private voice coaching and Voice Club  classes.

There are some daytime spaces for private singing lessons  in North London, (Crouch End), and a waiting list for evening sessions.

My vocal exercises are available to download and practise/warm-up at your own pace.

I have added links to some carefully-chosen songbooks, all with backing track CDs to help you enjoy your singing practice and have fun learning new repertoire!

Stage fright?  Download my self-hypnosis recording Creative Calm and learn to relax!

The Voice Club,   singing technique group classes, will be starting again soon.

The numbers will be limited, so please contact now in order to secure your place

You can listen to samples of my vocals and follow links to download my vocal exercises and stage fright hypnosis.

Please contact me if I can help with any aspect of singing or voice.

So, take a deep breath and relax your shoulders......!

One Day Singing Technique Workshop 19/3/11

Would you like to develop or improve your vocal range, quality and control?

Treat yourself!

Come and join us for a day of vocal instruction, singing and musical fun in good company 

Lunch included

 

One Day  Singing Technique  Workshop

£110

These popular one day workshops offer an opportunity to work on your singing technique  in a friendly, supportive group.

Group numbers are limited.

The day is is aimed at adults at all stages in a non –judgmental, safe and supportive environment. 

No-one will sing alone unless they wish to. Those who do wish to sing alone (time permitting) will be given positive, constructive feedback which will benefit the whole group.

The day includes:

• Relaxation techniques
• Breathing
• Group vocal tuition
• Voice Production
• Vocal technique
• Range, tone & style
• 2 course restaurant lunch, hot drinks and refreshments 

 
 
My background is as a practicing performer in most classical and contemporary singing styles, with over 17 years teaching experience.

 

Combining operatic and classical singing techniques with aspects of hypnotherapy has enabled me to develop a gentle yet practical and thorough vocal method, which uses visual ideas and imagery to place the voice. This is adapted to include contemporary styles and genres.

Participants with vocal anxiety or  musical self-doubt can particularly benefit!

I believe that, with the right technical building blocks and a state of controlled relaxation everyone can experience the joy of singing. We just have to get out of our own way!
