What People Are Saying
“I came to Louisa for singing lessons as an adult after many years of singing in bands and musical theatre. She helped me to understand my voice and explore its potential for the first time and really helped to shape it into a much more balanced and efficient instrument. I ended up singing songs that I never believed I would have been capable of singing. She is kind and so knowledgeable and she’s continued to be a great support in my professional life. I’m very, very grateful to have been her student!”

“Lessons with Louisa are both a challenge and a pleasure, always focussed on a technique that was strongly embodied to maintain vocal health, digging into language and meaning, and finding the joy in the work.”
— Eileen Fox - Choral Singer
“Louisa's teaching style is warm, knowledgeable and fun. I felt that I was in totally safe hands, even when I was on all fours doing breathing exercises! We worked towards my singing goals together and my technique and my confidence improved greatly over the time that she taught me.”
— Poppy Pickles, Iyengar yoga teacher
“Louisa is a wonderfully welcoming and encouraging teacher, really getting to the core of my vocal concerns straight away, and as a relatively new pupil, I've been delighted with my lessons with her so far. She is patient, clearly very knowledgeable, and experienced in a wide range of vocal abilities and concerns: I highly recommend her as a teacher.”
— Madeline Smith - classical soprano
“Louisa is a very instinctive and thorough singing teacher. I feel it’s a huge advantage to work with a teacher who is also a very highly specialised vocal health practitioner.
It’s so common to have problems with your actual instrument and to have a vocal coach who can take care of that side of things as well is a huge advantage.
I am not a singer first study as I trained as a percussionist, but these days I’m playing a lot of piano and singing, especially in my one-man award-winning musical which is very demanding vocally and I have found in the short time of working with Louisa, a great stability and improvement in my singing. She is able to give you just the right amount of information and guidance to get you where you need to be in your career.
I can thoroughly recommend Louisa as your choice of singing teacher”
— Mark Glentworth - Musician
“I had singing lessons with Louisa for two years and made more progress in that time than I could ever have imagined.
She is a responsive teacher with a large range of techniques at her disposal; one thing that marks her out from other teachers I have had is her willingness to be hands-on when needed.
Louisa works tirelessly to find an approach that works for each individual student and will encourage you to fulfil your potential. Her lessons are fun, interesting and above all, rewarding.”
— Elizabeth – Choral Singer
“After having Louisa Barry as a teacher for a number of years I can assuredly say that she has helped me transform my vocal abilities and confidence. Louisa’s teaching style encourages me to explore all that interests me whilst also nudging me out of my comfort zone, allowing me to reach my vocal goals and progress to the next milestone. Her passion for and knowledge about singing and vocal health is evident in every class, and her dedication and commitment to the lessons is something that I will forever be grateful for. With Louisa’s guidance, support, and willingness to go above and beyond for every student, I have grown as a singer in ways I could only imagine previously.”
— Aspiring MT professional
“The great thing about an expert coach is that they will diagnose accurately and only make adjustments where needed. Louisa paid close attention and gave me a few very simple exercises that just worked and encouraged me to find my own voice in a natural and relaxed way. Within just a few weeks I had improved a lot, and my voice has kept getting stronger by applying the same principles.”
— William - CCM Singer
“Being my first vocal coach, at a crucial point of my life, Louisa helped me find pleasure in music again, believe in my vocal abilities and define my future studies. Patient, kind but demanding, Louisa knows how to help someone achieve their singing goals!”
— Christine Assimakopoulou - Soprano
“Louisa is the most amazing singing teacher. She has given me confidence to sing again after over a 20-year break, due to an injury on my vocal folds. She has a holistic approach; she sees the big picture. Louisa was able to recognise that the barrier for my singing was my fear of injury. She supported me not only with great technique for singing but also with strategies to overcome this fear. I can't recommend her enough.”
