Past Projects.

Greetings!

Thank you for visiting. My life's purpose has been to facilitate the relationship individuals have with their musical self.

I am currently updating this page with details of past projects.

While I am curating, please get in touch via LinkedIn for the latest information.

  • "I would absolutely and without hesitation recommend working with Abi"

    Mairead Duffy, Quality Development and Learning Manager, Music Generation, Ireland

  • Abi is not only extremely knowledgeable in her field, she is a wonderfully kind and generous person, too. We would highly recommend Abi as a very skilled practitioner.

    Mel Field, Events Director of MD Brunch.

  • The sessions feel safe and nurturing. Time and space are given to just 'be' with your voice. I cannot recommend Abi highly enough".

    Daniel, Actor.

  • We've always enjoyed our collaborations with Abi, including a singing session at our biennial conference, STAMMAfest, which was very well-received.

    Kirsten Howells, Services Director and Deputy CEO, STAMMA (British Stammering Association).

  • "The sessions have given me targeted help and support to build both my confidence and my voice. I am so pleased with the voice Abi helped me find".

    Joan, Community Member.

  • "Abi has been a breakthrough for me. I lacked confidence and was not sure I could even sing. In a year, Abi has given me such confidence that I sing most days, and am now working towards my first solo and duet".

    Mandy, Community Member.
