Vocademy Singing Lessons |
"Hello, my name is Jenna; I work in the office of Vocademy,
which is a company offering singing lesson to all ages and ability. If you call
or email us, it’ll be me you speak to. I deal with enquiries, support the
teachers and liaise with parents and students. Everyday I head to our office in
the creative City of Brighton to develop Vocademy – making it the best it can
be for aspiring singers. There are four of us running the show: Damo, Sam, Luke
and myself - all passionate about music, education and giving opportunity to
people. On top of that we have an
ever-growing team of wonderful and experienced teachers who work hard across
the UK to motivate, support and guide the students of Vocademy.
Group singing
(7-18yrs)
The group classes run part-time over the course of ten weeks.
These sessions are really interactive and focus on confidence building. Each
session they learn valuable singing skills and techniques, which they utilise as
they then work on a modern pop song together. The classes are split into three
age groups enabling the kids to explore singing in a comfortable environment,
developing their skills as they progress through Vocademy. In the office we
come up with ways of making the course structure exciting and rewarding for the
youngsters, so it constantly evolves. This term we had a live musician week and
a performance week, both gave our children the chance to experience different
aspects of singing, have even more fun and perform songs of their choice. At
the end of each term we organise a local gigs for the children, parents, teachers and
ourselves to enjoy and celebrate the student’s progress. For me, my main
involvement is talking to parents and students when they call to enquire. From
these enquiries I set up free taster sessions, enrol students and follow up on
their progress – keeping in constant contact with the teachers and parents
throughout each term. So, although I am working in the office, I still maintain
a relationship and involvement as Vocademy’s first port of call.
Private tuition (all
ages).
Our private tuition is set up to aid each individual student
to whatever his or her want and need is. I deal with 1-2-1 enquiries and
organise free consultations with a teacher in their area. I love speaking to
new students; the people who contact me all vary. It could be someone wanting
to get some extra guidance before a show/audition, or even somebody who has
never sung before and wants to start from scratch. My favourite enquiry for
1-2-1 tuition was from a gentleman who had no experience in singing but, for
his anniversary, wanted to learn a song to surprise his wife! Anything goes
here at Vocademy, we are here to help and our teachers are trained, motivated
and ready for anything.
So, that is an insight on what we are about and what the
office team and I get up to. All four of us are working really hard to run and
develop Vocademy. If you want to keep updated we are on Facebook and Twitter
where we feed news, blogs, singing tips and interact with our students, parents
and teachers.
Singing brings a feeling of self-expression, release and
confidence. Whether it is a hobby, a new interest or a life-long ambition! As a
performer myself, I love that I work for a company who helps and encourages
people to experience the joy of singing. It’s feels like a real community and I
am proud to be a part of it."
See, I told you these guys were the best!
