Julie has over 20 years experience of teaching singing at all levels and she currently teaches students aiming for conservatoire auditions, professional choir members, concert singers and oratorio and opera singers.
Julie's aim for The Singing School is to provide an excellent all round vocal tuition beginning with a solid technical background for singers of all ages and abilities. Julie has taught well over 200 students and works closely with a number of affiliated teachers working in the areas of Bushey, Watford and St. Albans.
Julie's teaching ethos is to provide a friendly and positive approach to singing and address the singer as a whole.To this end she provides not only 1:1 tuition but also runs a regular programme of workshops, masterclasses and concerts open only to students.
Luminaries of the Singing world who have given past workshops/master classes include:
Janice Chapman (Eminent Vocal Consultant and author)
David Drummond (Coach and Conductor of London Oriana Choir)
Nigel Foster (Coach and founder of The London Song Festvial)
The programme for 2011/2012 will include some of the above and a number of others!

Julie's acclaimed Adult Beginners and Improvers Courses can also be taken with one of her affiliated teachers - or indeed with Julie - these are six week courses which address a different area of vocal technique each session.

Testimonials
"Julie Gray is a fine singer and teacher. She has studied with me for many years and I have no hesitation in recommending her both as a superb lyric soprano and as an excellent teacher of singers of all ages. She has a lovely voice, is intelligent, hard-working, musical, talented and motivated." Janice L Chapman (Author, "Singing and Teaching Singing")
"When I was at school, my father tried to get me "voice production" lessons, for singing. The schools never really understood what he was asking for, and simply referred him to the routine class singing lessons. I've had "singing lessons" on a one-to-one basis before, but Julie is the first to be a "voice production" teacher. She has the ear to hear what you are doing - or not doing - and the ability to communicate, in a positive way, what you need to do to improve, whatever your level.
Under Julie's tuition, I have moved on from being a good amateur singer to one with a growing access to professional engagements - with the added bonus of her own professional experience to help me in my own choices. My family and friends noticed immediately the change in the quality of my voice and I could recognise, in myself, the kind of improvement I had heard in others' voices before." Christine -Professional Soprano
