About
Hi, I'm Shabi – a professional singer, performer, and vocal coach!
With over five years of experience in vocal technique, audition preparation, and solfège, I help singers develop their voices with confidence and ease. I hold a BMus from ICMP, where I specialized in Music in Education, giving me the skills to provide structured, results-driven training.
My lessons are tailored to your unique goals, whether you're looking to build vocal strength, refine your technique, improve performance confidence, or prepare for professional auditions. I’ll work with you to select the perfect audition piece, ensuring it showcases your voice and fits the requirements of the audition.
We’ll cover comprehensive vocal warm-ups for belt voice, mix voice, and head voice, and I’ll share essential tricks to help you sing comfortably and powerfully. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced singer, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

Teaching Style
My teaching style is centred around contemporary music, focusing on pop and rock genres. I emphasise building strong vocal techniques while adapting exercises to meet the unique demands of these styles. Whether you're learning to belt in pop, improve your vocal range, or refine your performance skills, I provide personalised guidance to help you develop the versatility and confidence you need. My lessons are designed to be both enjoyable and challenging, empowering you to showcase your best voice in every performance.
Curriculum
Teaching Method
I use a combination of structured exercises and creative techniques to help students build strong vocal skills while maintaining vocal health. My method focuses on breathing techniques, vocal range development, and stylized delivery specific to pop and rock genres. I also emphasize performance techniques, helping students develop stage presence and confidence. Each lesson is customized to meet the unique needs of the student, whether they’re a beginner or more advanced.
Recommended Student Texts
For my students, I recommend “The Contemporary Singer” by Anne Peckham and “Singing for the Stars” by Seth Riggs, which are excellent resources for developing vocal technique and understanding style-specific nuances. I also often incorporate online resources such as vocal warm-up apps and YouTube tutorials to give students extra practice outside of lessons.
