ABOUT ME
Hi everyone, I’m Kinga.
I’m a singer-songwriter and a certified CVT (Complete Vocal Technique) singing teacher. However, my road to this title had many twists and turns. I wasn’t a naturally talented singer; I simply loved to sing and that passion has guided me to where I am today. I spent two decades studying vocal techniques in various countries. Along the way, many schools and universities left me with a lot of confusion, mysteries, and tools that didn't quite work, causing me vocal problems, blocks, and tensions. I was close to giving up, nearly resigned to the idea that singing just wasn’t for me, but a persistent voice inside me refused to let go.
Then, in 2016, I discovered a technique called the Complete Vocal Technique, and suddenly, everything started to fall into place. I found ease in my voice, clarity in technique, and a deeper understanding of how my body works with my voice. Now, as a certified CVT singing teacher, I am dedicated to helping others find this same ease in their voices so they can achieve their full vocal potential.
Please note, if your voice doesn’t cooperate, doesn’t carry, or if you have problems reaching high notes or singing in pitch, it doesn’t mean you are worse than others or can’t sing at all. It just means you haven’t been taught properly. I’m living proof of that. Give yourself a chance to explore it better with me and Complete Vocal Technique. I promise you’ll start to enjoy singing and develop your voice in ways you never thought possible.
SINGING LESSON INFORMATION
I offer individual lessons, 12 Week Singing Course or Retreats to singers who are interested in a range of musical genres including Pop, Jazz, Musical Theatre, Rock, Blues and Jazz. Basing my methods on the Complete Vocal Technique, my main aim is to help each singer achieve his or her personal goals most concretely and efficiently whilst creating a fun and safe environment. It is just important to me that the singer feels comfortable enough to feel free to experiment with new tools and sounds that help achieve their aims not only long term but during each session. I also find it extremely important to provide students with the tools they need to practice alone efficiently. This is extremely important for personal singing development and continued motivation. Basing my method of teaching on The Complete Vocal Technique I am able to work with a variety of singers in a variety of environments: from my own set up, recording studios, at rehearsals for bands, duos, soloists or intensely for a specific period before a tour or show.
I feel it is my job to ensure that the singer feels comfortable enough to freely uninhibitedly experiment with new tools.

This lesson is specially designed for young children to experience some of the techniques at a young age, when their voices are still developing.

REVIEWS
“I’ve been singing with kinga for a while now and She’s fantastic very patient and drives you into being the best you can possible be. I have come on leaps and bounds from quite a nervous singer to going into the studio to record which I never thought would be possible.
If your a beginner or a professional I wouldn’t hesitate in using her. “

”I have been working with Kinga since July 2019 and I have seen an amazing improvement in my confidence and ability. Kinga is patient and a very intuitive teacher. I would recommend Kinga to anyone looking to improve their singing ability and perfect their technique.”
Roxy
"Kinga is my first singing teacher, before her I was terrible, not much skill or confidence in my ability. After a few weeks I have improved very quickly and my whole perspective on how to sing has changed. She is a fantastic teacher and knew exactly how to help me overcome my personal obstacles. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who was just starting to learn and even to those who are already great at singing but want to push themselves even further.
Idres
The staff absolutely loved it and Kinga was fantastic! Staff have been singing all day around school. It really lifed our spirits!
