Singing Lessons - Emma Deans Sings

Emma is such a skilled, patient and responsive teacher. I have always had a love of singing but have struggled severely with performance anxiety and nerves. Emma has so much knowledge around the body, vocal placing/shaping, posture and deep/supported breathing and she has helped me to unlock my voice and rediscover my love of singing. She has been truly exceptional and has taught me all of the foundations as well as supporting me to refine my technique and nurtured my voice to help me find my own unique sound. Highly recommend.

Emma Dean is a kind and energetic singing teacher who offers Incredible help and transformation in tone and technique. She is supportive and encouraging and I always feel very comfortable. She has helped me to transform my voice in a short amount of time and I have never sung better, I 100% recommend Emma for her skill and kindness as a teacher.

A fantastic singing school where each student is individually assessed, and a detailed program designed around their vocal needs, musical interests and specific goals. Emma has a great rapport with students and is positive and warm, but also challenges them to keep building on and developing their skills. Breathing, posture, tone, pitch and vocal health are all covered in lessons. There are great performance opportunities. Suits all ages. Great for HSC music students. Highly recommend

Previous to starting singing lessons with Emma Deans, I had a few lessons here and there with some of my mums teachers, however I never felt completely comfortable with the teachers and rarely understood what they were talking about. So I was not excessively keen on having singing lessons as I hardly ever came out of a lesson feeling enthusiastic about singing. Then in year 10, I found myself needing to take singing lessons as I was adamant on choosing music for a subject in the HSC. In order to excel in the subject, you must master your instrument for performing. My instrument being voice. I found Emma Deans through one of my mums friends who was having lessons, and how lucky I am to have been introduced to such an inspiring and strong female teacher! I love to perform, whether it be acting, dancing, singing or all of the above, and Emma’s teaching offers techniques and guidance in all of those fields. Although she mainly focuses on teaching singing, due to her encouraging and genuine passion for people, she creates a safe space for someone to find their voice musically and in a more powerful sense. What I have really observed about Emma is that she projects her professional experience onto her students in a non-condescending manner, enabling them to take on board what she has to offer and grow from it, motivating them to perform to the best of their ability. Since having lessons with Emma, I have grown more confident in my own skin and am capable of spreading encouragement to others, rather than just craving from others encouragement. So! If you're wanting to master your instrument, feel more confident and loving towards what you have to offer, then Emma Deans is your woman!

Other than a love for singing and music, I had pretty much no experience as a singer prior to starting with Emma 2 years ago, she has completely transformed my abilities as a singer and performer. Emma coached me through my HSC Music I course helping strengthen my vocal technique, stage presence, song choices to suit and enrich my voice and style and also connected me with amazing musicians. One of the most valuable things Emma helped me overcome was my performance anxiety and nerves as she taught me how to communicate with the audience and have fun on stage. Nothing seems to be off the cards or out of Emma’s reach when it comes to new and creative ideas, and the concerts she hosts for her singing students are always so fun, and everyone has a go in such a fun environment. Throughout the HSC I’ve seen my performance and vocal abilities improve from coming last in my class to now achieving a band 6 (highest band) and an incredibly high rank within my class. Singing with Emma has completely widened my scope, perception and technique as a singer and I have felt myself develop a more unique style and an even greater love for singing, music and performing.

Emma is an absolutely amazing teacher, I was lucky enough to find her through one of her amazing monthly singing groups. I was looking for another teacher as I had moved interstate. I have had various singing teachers both interstate and internationally and right from that first group singing session I knew I had found my new teacher and I knew she was going to be special. Her voice is absolutely amazing as are her methods but something that is so very unique how she is so amazingly supportive as a teacher and her ability to absolutely sky rocket your confidence. I have always loved singing but been absolutely petrified that I wasn't good enough. Through Emma my confidence has soared and I have pushed past a barrier and been able to sing to a wider audience and found my voice and I love singing. She has been amazingly patient with me , as it is 36 years of self-doubt and she has just supported me and very gently pushed me to doing what I love. I can't recommend Emma enough there are a lot teachers out there but she is just special and every lesson is fun but you come out feeling great about yourself afterwards.

Emma is proof that singing is something that can be learned! She has made an amazing difference with my son (age 13), not only with his singing voice, but also his confidence. What I love most about Emma is that she is able to see and nurture to fruition the best in a person's abilities. My son loves his singing lessons with Emma, and it is quite amazing to see how far along he has come in such a short period of time.

I’ve been having singing lessons with Courtney for the better part of this year and she’s fantastic. She’s knowledgeable, patient and just a delight to be around.Very lucky to have found such a great teacher on my first attempt at ever having had lessons!

Emma is a phenomenal singer and singing teacher. I have always wanted to sing but been too scared to do so. But from the very first lesson with Emma I felt at ease, was laughing and smiling as she not only brought my voice out but helped me put chords to a poem I had and turn it into a song.Emma is easy going, extremely supportive, and is a great teacher, She really knows her stuff! and creates a real safe and fun space to learn and express yourself, let that awesome voice out you may have been hiding!She helps you with scales, exercises, breathing, writing songs and putting music to them, performance and mic skills. She puts on a performance night occasionally for her students so we can all perform for our families and friends and so now I have gone from too scared of singing to performing in front of an audience! Awesome!She is also an amazing performer and sings all over the city with her band. Some people teach cause they can't do but Emma really is a great example for her students on what is possible!I highly recommend her if you are anything from just starting out all the way to a professional singer, or if like me you are an adult who has always wanted to perform but been too scared to do so! ! You will have a blast!
