Hannah is incredible. She doesn’t just deal with the technical discipline of singing, (which she does brilliantly) she deals with the whole person. Through the sessions I’ve had with her I have grown in ability and self awareness when it comes to singing, but I’ve also grown in confidence as a singer and learned to place a much higher value on self care. Lessons are always challenging and fun. Hannah is hugely personable and genuinely cares about her students. So good!

The performance workshop with Line was a great experience for me.
The atmosphere was one of support, and I felt comfortable to try out new things.
The ideas and inspiration I gained are sure to help me in future as a different way of looking at performing to make it somehow easier, and help shift the focus back on to the words I’m singing in new and fresh ways.

I've gained some really valuable insights from Line's performance workshop. It made me think much more about what I do as a total package. I learned a great deal from the feedback given to other performers as we all as myself.

Line Hilton engaged superbly with each one of us to put the theory into practice.  One of the barriers I’ve grappled with is the fear of making a mistake, committing an error or something else going wrong in front of an audience... I realised that this fear was leading me to play it safe and hold back to avoid making mistakes rather than letting go and going for an outstanding performance of the kind that raises hairs on the back of one’s neck.  Through the class discussions and experimenting in the class performances I’ve learned key strategies to overcome this fear and have also opened my mind to a different of way of thinking about mistakes.
