So you're a string player, but you want to accompany yourself singing?! Well good news: it's totally possible and I would love to help you learn how to do it.

My name is Monique, and I am a folk cellist, singer-songwriter and educator. I have ten years experience teaching cello and hold a Bachelor of Music from the Queensland Conservatorium. As a performer I've toured internationally as a singer-songwriter, been a backing vocalist for The Maes, and have worked as a multi-genre session musician for artists including Kate Miller-Heidke and Eminem.

Singing & Stringing lessons can include:

  • General exercises to help with intonation and coordination
  • Some basic vocal technique
  • Choosing songs to work on and adapt to our instruments
  • Creating duo arrangements, singing in harmony
  • Songwriting

You can be an absolute beginner in singing and playing, but you need to be fairly confident on your instrument before starting these lessons.

My teaching style involves:

  • Tailoring lessons to the individual
  • Energetic and friendly delivery
  • Planned lessons
  • Pedagogically sound teaching
  • Honest and constructive feedback
  • A compassionate approach
