Hi, I’m Susie. I'm a queer singer/songwriter & teacher. I teach people who are afraid. Afraid to sing, afraid to speak. Whether you want to speak at your best friend’s wedding, smash your next work presentation, or learn how to sing well enough not to embarrass yourself at Karaoke night - I can help you.
I have been performing, writing & recording for 30 years at major venues worldwide. You can find out more about my work as an artist here. I also suffer from anxiety. I will teach you the techniques I use so I can sing and speak with confidence, own a space and be heard. I feel the fear and I do it anyway.
Together we will breathe, move & sing. I tailor my sessions to each individual student - there is no one size fits all. If you’re terrified - I’ve got you. Most importantly, we’ll have fun.
Now more than ever, as queer people we need to speak up and be heard. I know from my own personal experience how difficult that can be sometimes, especially for those of us who are naturally shy & introverted.
But I truly believe - if you can sing, you can do anything. And even if you have no aspiration to become a singer, simply learning how to breathe properly and get out of your head and into your body is transformative.
Here's the science:
“When people sing, they control their breath. The process of singing requires expanding the duration of exhalation. During the exhalation phase of breathing, there is an increase in the effectiveness of the myelinated vagal efferent pathways on the heart. This explains how singing or playing a wind instrument would contribute to a calmer physiological state and provide greater access to the social engagement system.”
