Elizabeth Ball: Soprano and singing teacher.

Here I am about to start my examining tour of the NE of England!
Looking forward to hearing some great performances over the next 4 days 🎵🎉⭐️

🎉 I'm excited to be opening up a small number of slots for private singing lessons starting in September!!! 🎉

⭐️ These will take place at Askham Community Centre, CA10 2PF on Tuesdays from 2pm onwards ⭐️

🎶 Classical and Musical Theatre repertoire 🎶

⭐️ Grades 1-8 and diplomas
taught or purely learn for fun! ⭐️

🎶 My goal whether you are an aspiring professional singer or just want to sing for enjoyment is to give you the tools to enable you to get the best out of your voice and develop it to its full potential. This is done through teaching a solid vocal technique while exploring repertoire that is best suited to your voice 🎶

I could talk for hours about my wonderful students and ex students, but here is what they say:

********************

Mrs Ball has given me a passion for music which will never leave me. I had singing lessons with her for 4 years at school then carried on for 2 more years after I left. We always had so much fun in our one to ones and the choir she ran was a joy to be a part of. She helped me through the grades and gave me a real love for all genres of music from classical through to jazz. The concerts she put on for her students gave me the courage to come out of my shell and taught me to have more self confidence. I am so glad I had Mrs Ball as a teacher.

************************************

I've been taught by Mrs Ball up to my Grade 8 and I have loved every minute of her lessons. She is an incredibly passionate, friendly and optimistic teacher which makes being part of her lessons and choirs great fun.

************************************

I achieved my Grade 8 Singing with Mrs Ball and couldn't have asked for a more supportive teacher or more enjoyable lessons, I also sang in many ensembles organised by her which were always very well organised and put together, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

************************************

Being taught by Liz is an absolute Ball! You always have great fun, yet there's a serious technical backdrop to her lessons. You learn to sing properly and breathe correctly which sets you up with a love of singing for life...

************************************

Mrs Ball was my singing teacher for 7 years, through that time I've learnt so many valuable lessons about singing and my own voice. Mrs Ball was instrumental in helping me achieve consecutive Distinctions in my singing exams from grade 3-8. It wouldn't have been possible without her!

************************************

I’ve had lessons with Elizabeth over the past two years and can say that she is an amazing teacher. I thoroughly enjoy my lessons with her and am always excited to sing with her. She creates a warm and inviting atmosphere and is charmingly friendly. The skills I have learnt from Elizabeth have helped me to grow in both my vocal and performance ability. She helped me with choosing my audition pieces which lead to me getting into my top university of choice.

************************************

"Elizabeth Ball is in my opinion probably one of the craziest, loveliest and most amazing singing teachers I have ever met. Her constant laughter and madness for 7 years of my life solidified a friendship that will last a lifetime. I began my singing career a shy unconfident little mouse whose only audience had been a hairbrush but over the years she has helped me accomplish my grade 8 ABRSM exam with merit, perform the lead role in Purcell's opera Dido and Aenaes and blossom as a person. I cannot thank her enough for all her time and effort she has put in over the years and hope that other children can experience the wonder that she is!"
