Lessons take place at Fiona's home in Downend on an individual basis, ordinarily for half an hour a week per student during term time. In the summer holidays lessons are available on a more flexible basis. It is expected that students will attend lessons every week during term time - full terms and conditions are available on request. When all teaching slots are full a waiting list is in operation. During lockdowns teaching is delivered remotely via Zoom or FaceTime.

She was Head of the South Glos @ Warmley Saturday morning centre, and also conducted the music hub’s flute group, Flutissimo. The majority of students work towards exams in musical theatre, classical singing, flute, piano and music theory. There is currently a 100% pass rate at all grades from Step 1/Prep Test through to Diploma with consistently high marks. No student has ever been 'made' to do an exam, but those who do find it extremely rewarding to have a target to work towards. Other performance opportunities include local and national Eisteddfods and the annual student's concert at a local church, which all students are encouraged to participate in. Fiona is also available as a soloist for concerts, recitals, weddings, funerals, etc. Please message or email for further information. Fiona is a fully insured Fellow of the ISM (Incorporated Society of Musicians), a member of the AOTOS (Association of Teachers of Singing), a member of the European Voice Teachers Association (EVTA), is fully insured and DBS checked, and holds ISM Registered Private Teacher Status.
