    “Gaynor Keeble was my singing teacher at the University of Warwick and she was an absolute joy to study with. Her positive energy was infectious and I always looked forward to my lessons with her. Gaynor helped me gain a place at the Royal Academy of Music to pursue vocal studies full-time at postgraduate level and she has continued to be a mentor to me throughout my singing career. I am so grateful for everything Gaynor taught me and for her continued support - I cannot recommend her highly enough!”

  • Eluned Mansell (Member of CBSO Chorus)

    Singing lessons with Gaynor have made a huge difference to my technique, but more importantly, they are fun! She has an unerring ability to pinpoint what could be improved and clearly explain how to make it better in a way you understand.

  • Avril Tisdall (Chairman)

    “Gaynor made her first visit to Carlisle and District Music and Drama Festival this year, adjudicating two final days of vocal classes. Everyone was absolutely delighted with her: so much so that, before she had even left us, we booked her to return for our next available slot. Her adjudications were always positive and encouraging, yet she never shied away from adding a suggested correction to technique. On one occasion Gaynor gave an impromptu mini singing lesson to fill a gap in movement of performers between venues.We highly recommend her.”

  • Ann Naismith Ayrshire Music Festival

    “Her connection with the performers and the feedback she delivered was well received - always positive and encouraging”

  • Keith Roberts Head of Music Bedford School

    “Your inspiring comments, the way you delivered them, were hugely appreciated by everyone and we’d love to see you here again”

“Thank you so much for such a brilliant workshop! We came out of the room all of us buzzing, and I’ve heard so much lovely feedback already, including, ‘we must have them back next year. Gaynor and Bradley are wonderful teachers, so engaging and passionate!! (I’m sure none of us will ever stop thinking about diction!)”
