JESSICA FRIEND
Jess is an excellent singing teacher. Having lessons with her for the past 4 years has greatly improved my vocal technique and strength, as well as building my confidence as a performer & a young adult.
- Libby, Singing Student
I have known Jess for 4 years having received a recommendation for her from a friend. Jess has been a brilliant singing coach for two of my daughters. Her lessons not only challenge and excite them in terms of the pieces that they work on, but also support them in achieving these challenges by steadily improving their technique. There is always a good balance between fun and progress. She runs her lessons on time, deals with her students in a caring yet professional way, and communicates with me very well. A fabulous tutor.
