Below are some FAQ's which hopefully answer any questions you may have! Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need more information or would like to book a free, no obligation consultation!

Who are you?
My name is Rebecca (Bex) Badham, and I am a recent graduate from Newcastle University, where I gained a BA Hons in Music. I am a classically trained singer with lots of performance experience in a range of classical, opera, musical theatre, pop, soul and jazz styles.

Where are you?
I am based in Cranfield, Bedfordshire where I have a singing space which is a great place to feel comfortable and enjoy learning to sing! I am also able to travel locally to teach on request.

Do you teach people of all ages?
Absolutely!

Do you teach beginners?
Yes of course! Everyone starts somewhere. Besides, you will find that no one is a total beginner- you have been singing your whole life!

Do you offer an initial consultation?
Yes. Whatever your singing ambitions be, a singing teacher is a very personal thing, and requires respect, trust and understanding between the student and teacher, I offer every new student and initial free consultation where we can get to know one another, have a short warm up and sing, and talk about your ambitions-whatever they be I am here to help you on your journey! If student under the age of 18 would like a parent or guardian present , that is absolutely fine!

What should I bring?
Yourself, enthusiasm and a love of singing! If you have music you would like to learn, please feel free to bring it along. Lots of ideas on what you hope to achieve are welcome too!

What do you teach?
I teach classical, musical theatre, pop and some jazz / soul styles- or a combination of the above! As well as covering singing technique, lessons can cover long or short term topics such as: grade exams, audition material, music theory, performance technique and harmony. We will venture in the direction you choose (with my advice of course! ).

Will I be in a group or by myself?
All tuition will be one- to -one as we can direct your learning specifically towards your goals, interests and attributes! However, in some cases where group lessons are necessary, for example; a group or duet preparing for a performance, this can be arranged!

Do I need to be able to read music?
No previous musical knowledge is required to start singing!

Can you teach people to read music?
Absolutely if you would like me to! You are completely fine if you don't, but it is also a valuable skill to have if you do. Throughout singing lessons we can cover basic music theory and sight reading, which will progress as you do. I am also able to teach music theory separately to a more advanced level if you are interested / at the point where you require music theory grades to take high grade classical music exams.

Do I need to perform in public?
No, you decide what you want to do. I would never put you in a position where you may be uncomfortable or feel unprepared. I can teach / give advice on performance techniques, and if you would like to perform, I'm sure we can find lots of exciting opportunities for you!

Do you do gift vouchers?
Yes. Please contact me for more information. They are perfect gifts for Christmas, birthdays, or special treats throughout the year!
