It’s time to build expressive and sustainable singing voices that create a real buzz.

Manchester singing teacher for dedicated performers to achieve their musical aspirations.

Hey, Super Songster…

…Let’s not beat about the bush with false humility. You can already sing. In fact, you’re the bee’s knees. People (not just your fave Auntie!) have told you so.

You’ve started performing professionally already or you’re heading that way - regardless, being on that stage in the spotlight is where you want to be?
Your technique is kind of okay - on a good day - but you need it to work for you every day AND align with your creative goals?
You want a safe and fun space to explore the nuances of your voice, assured in the knowledge that if the nerves kick in when you’re performing, you can still bring the house down and no one will suspect a thing?

No matter where you’re at on your vocal journey, if you love taking centre stage and expressing yourself through music, you’re in the right place.

Because here at The Singing Hive, I believe that when you feel happy and supported during your singing lessons, you’re in the best position to learn and flourish. To take your singing voice to new heights. And to gain confidence to sing in places and to audiences you never thought possible. All with the help of your local vocal coach.

Like a bee to a flower, hard work and collaboration is key – both inside and outside the studio. But if you work with purpose and enjoyment (and a large sprinkle of humour) to improve your technique and artistry, you’re going to attract higher standards and greater results.

And The Singing Hive is here to help you do just that with singing lessons and vocal coaching at our studio in Chorlton, south Manchester.

"My sessions with Pippa were the highlight of my week and instilled in me a well rounded knowledge of techniques I could use to achieve an authentic sound as well as how to work through any vocal issues I had. I enjoyed the sessions thoroughly as Pippa is such a vibrant fun person and I left every session feeling more confident in my voice and myself."

Masie

Singing Lesson Student

"Before having lessons with Pippa, singing was nerve wracking to me, I was unsure and unconfident as to what my voice actually could do. Pippa creates the safest and most supportive spaces to explore your voice. She is patient, and brings so much joy to every lesson, making anything feel achievable - she has so many tricks and tips that work everytime! I will always be grateful for the huge amount of care and knowledge Pippa has given to me, and for allowing me to regain my confidence in singing."

Isabella

Vocal Coaching Student

“I was nervous about taking singing lessons but Pippa creates a very safe, encouraging and enjoyable environment in which to learn. She’s very patient, positive and has a very flexible method of teaching – if one way doesn’t work, she always has plenty of other ideas for things that will.”

Sophie

Singing Lesson Student

“I have found individual lessons with Pippa highly informative and really enjoyable. She takes great care to understand her students and put them at ease whilst drawing on a wealth of experience as a performer and teacher.”

Kathie

Singing Teacher and Choir Leader

“Pippa has varied the lesson content to meet the differing needs of both children and the demands of Musical Theatre and ABRSM, utilising varying technology to support and enhance the musical accompaniment. It has been a joy to listen to the boys.”

Specialist singing teacher, vocal coach, professionally-trained classical soprano, and proud owner of The Singing Hive.

Music is what I do. It runs through my veins. And it’s what I’ve always been known for. At school, I was the kid who was singing in the classroom, down the corridors, in the toilets, and of course, on stage at every given opportunity. I learnt the violin and piano, joined the choir, and just knew I was destined to be a singer…

I studied music at University (a dual degree of French and music), did my post-grad in singing at the Royal Academy of Music and before the mortarboard had touched my head, started a career in performing.

Since then, I haven’t looked back. I’ve travelled all over the world performing in operas and concerts, as well as professional choirs and ensembles, and more recently, invested in becoming an accredited singing teacher and Vocal Habilitation Professional so I can spread the love for singing and best practice.

Well, The Singing Hive is my vessel to achieve that with vocal coaching and singing lessons. And I’m buzzing for you to join us!
