sing smart + sing well

Hello there! I’m Josephine and I live in Liverpool with my husband David and our two kids and I founded Bluesky Singing in 2019. Along with being a singing teacher I am a pop and contemporary worship singer-songwriter with over 15-years of industry experience in creating, leading and managing singing-based activities and teaching for children, young people and adults in educational and community settings.

Along with a collection of Music Grades (Grade 8 in Pop Vocals, Flute and Theory and Grade 5 in Piano), I have a First Class BA (Hons) in Performance Industries (which included Vocal Performance and Songwriting), a Certificate IV in Worship Music (Vocals), an LCM Popular Vocals Teaching Diploma and I qualified as a Vocal Health First Aider in late 2022. I call myself a ‘life-long learner’ and have recently begun an MA in Professional Practice (Voice Pedagogy) to keep up my development to provide the best vocal training I possibly can. I am also a member of AOTOS (Association of Teachers of Singing).

Although I have loved music and singing from an early age I have had a long, bumpy journey towards learning (and re-learning) to sing well in mind, body, heart and sound. Or, if you like, learning how to sing smart and sing well (hello tagline!) From overcoming crippling shyness and anxiety growing up to having a tongue-tie correction surgery only a few years ago that sent me on a long vocal rehabilitation, I have been forced into understanding the voice and what affects vocal performers possibly more than most - and now I see what I have learnt on that journey as a huge strength in helping others.

From the age of 20 I started working with a vocal coach and it changed my life and challenged my perceptions and got me to step beyond where I would have done on my own. This has only fueled my passion to be able to give that kind of support to other singers myself. There is real vulnerability in sharing our voice with someone - flaws and all - it’s a part of you and me as a unique person. I totally get that. But I have found it is absolutely worth the risk and the investment.

Bluesky Singing is all about helping others take steps towards the free, expansive and most creative versions of themselves that they dream of. My philosophy is that everyone is made to sing in some way, shape or form as all can embrace the enjoyment of singing and learn something along the way!

At present, Vocal Training is taking centre stage but keep an eye out for other singing-related services and resources as I keep developing all things Bluesky Singing.

Happy, healthy singing!
