what my students have to say...

“I would whole heartedly recommend Vivienne to anyone wishing to take up any aspect music available from Shawlands Music School. My daughter attended piano lessons, and with the help and commitment of Vivienne, had attained an A pass on her Intermediate 2 Music. Vivienne fully supported her in all aspects of studies, encouraging additional study and well as giving hints, tips and advice on all aspect of the exam. A further aspect of Vivienne’s work includes providing performance opportunities, which are invaluable to building confidence and promoting success in learning. Vivienne provides regular reports on the work they are doing, which allowed me to keep track of my daughter’s progress. She will continue her studies to higher level, and I’m sure with Vivienne’s commitment and support results will be evident. Highly recommended!” – Anne Colligan, Scottish Government

“This tutor has a unique way of teaching and I feel that she is someone who has finally managed to get through to me in singing lessons! She opened my eyes to an amazing new technique which I have now adopted that has really helped my breathing and that has opened my eyes to the possibilities of my voice. Not only is she a great teacher, she’s one of the most passionate, enthusiastic people I’ve met in a long time and she has done nothing but motivate me to strive forward!” – Marina Rolink, signed to Toytown Records

‘I went to Vivienne for singing lessons when I was 10 years old and absolutely loved my lessons. She helped me through competitions and find a real love for singing. Now aged 26 I was able to find her and get back into it again. After only 4 lessons, singing to my mum she was able to see a real difference in my voice as did I. Finally enjoying it again and hitting the notes I couldn’t before. Vivienne has not only helped with my breathing but also my confidence. I highly recommend her as I’ve always felt she’s the best singing teacher I’ve come across’ – Amy Williams
