Empowering and Inspiring You to Sing with Ease, Confidence and Joy!

Thank you for your interest in voice lessons with me! 

I am passionate about the spiritual benefits and joy experienced through singing. Whatever stage you are on your vocal journey, I look forward to helping you discover your true, authentic, natural voice!

As a professional recording artist and performer, I have a wealth of experience and expertise to share with students. My lessons are suitable for both absolute beginners who are simply looking to explore their singing voice and have fun singing, right up to experienced singers who are looking to work on specific areas of improvement.

Every voice is unique, so our lessons will be tailored toward you and your goals.

Here is what I can assist and help guide you with:

• Breathing techniques for vocal ease, relaxation, and an open authentic voice
• Body awareness; utilising the body as your instrument
• Creating a beautiful tone, increasing vocal range, projection, and agility
• Guidance on song interpretation, performance, and improvisation
• Techniques to increase confidence and overcome live performance anxiety
• How to use the voice as an instrument for healing
• Songwriting tips and methods for increasing inspiration and creativity
• Artistic development; expanding repertoire, branding, branching into new genres

“Ruhiya started teaching me a few weeks ago and within the first lesson I had achieved the most I have with any music teacher I have before, she helps you relax and let your voice flow and you can achieve a lot within the first few weeks and feel like I’m a better singer overall with her guidance.” - Jasmine

As a vocal coach, I combine Classical and Contemporary vocal methods. As a qualified sound healing instructor, I also recognise the powerful effect of the mind-body connection, and how anxiety, trauma, and insecurity can directly affect vocal sound and performance. We will use your body as the amazing instrument that it is, learning how to breathe with your whole body, and sing with your entire being!

“Ruhiya was my first vocal coach when I started to learn Western music. She is one of the best teachers I have ever come across. She is very patient and knows exactly in what ways to teach a particular lesson so that a student can gauge the essence of it all!” – Neha

In terms of my musical training; I hold a Grade 5 in piano and an MA. in Music from SOAS (with Distinction). I have taken vocal lessons with prominent teachers including Neil Semer (Classical vocal technique), Mehboob Nadeem (Hindustani Music) and Jojo Acosta (Contemporary vocal technique).
