About

Hannah is an accomplished vocal and performance coach whose career spans over two decades of teaching, performing and arts education leadership. Her practice is rooted in a holistic, neuro-inclusive philosophy, integrating voice science, movement and playful, exploratory learning to support each performer as a whole, adaptable instrument. Known for her ability to unlock authentic, reliable vocal function across singers, actors and dancers, she helps performers develop both technical excellence and artistic confidence.
With a deep commitment to ongoing professional development, Hannah has trained extensively in evidence-based vocal pedagogy, vocal health and neurodiversity. Her training includes Estill, Rayvox SOVT, LAMDA teacher training, the TQUK Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Autism (RQF) and Vocal Health First Aider certification, supported by a broad portfolio of specialist CPD with Teach Voice, Voice Workshop, Vocal Process and Vocal Health Education.
Hannah’s students consistently achieve exceptional outcomes, including a 100% pass rate across vocal, musical theatre, acting and instrumental examinations with Trinity College London, ABRSM, LAMDA and MBA. Their successes span festivals, competitions, associate programmes and entry into leading vocational colleges such as LIPA, GSA, Urdang, Bird College, Laine Theatre Arts, Italia Conti and London Studio Centre. Many progress into professional work, with recent highlights including a pupil currently touring in Matilda and a former student newly signed to a major record label (Polydor). Her coaching supports performers entering both the commercial music industry and internationally recognised theatre training and employment.
Originally trained in music, dance and musical theatre from early childhood, Hannah earned her BSc (Hons) in Music from City University, undertaking practical studies at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. She subsequently worked professionally as a dancer, singer, entertainer and musician with companies including Pop Management, Princess Cruises, TUI, MTV, ITV and multiple regional musical theatre companies.
Since completing her PGCE and QTS in 2008, Hannah has taught widely across primary, secondary and specialist performing arts settings throughout Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. Her roles have included arts specialist, classroom teacher, vocal and instrumental tutor and peripatetic practitioner—both independently through HLOMusic and in schools via Session Player. She has taught for Theatretrain Leeds, Kimberley School of Arts (including their extended diploma with John Leggott College), Alexandra Ray Talent, The Theatre Coach youth choir, Bishop Grosseteste University (Rock & Pop Vocals) and ElliTeStudios College. She currently teaches as part of the Musical Theatre faculty at the University of Lincoln.
A significant part of Hannah’s pedagogical identity lies in her work with dancers. Drawing on her professional dance background, she integrates somatic awareness, functional movement and choreographic demands into vocal training, helping dancers access breath, resonance and vocal freedom through the body. Her movement-rich sessions support alignment, release and expressive range, bridging technique with artistry.
Alongside her performing arts work, Hannah has held senior assessment and quality-assurance roles requiring high-level analytical, leadership and evaluative skills—experience that underpins her rigorous and reflective approach to student development and performance outcomes.
