WELCOME TO SUE KINGHAM VOCAL STUDIO

IVACON 2024  

IVACON 2024 took place in the beautiful city of Edinburgh from 17 - 21 June.

It was the Institute for Vocal Advancements first International conference since 2019 due to Covid. It was a jam-packed and really stimulating five days full of education and practical participation sessions. I had the privilege to teach some classes as well as attend classes. I just love that injection of knowledge and input from fellow treachers. The learning never stops!

Meeting up with long term colleagues and making new friends with teachers from countries all over the world was so exciting and a very special experience!

INTERESTED IN LESSONS with skvs? HERE’S WHAT PEOPLE HAD TO SAY:

Sue is an absolutely wonderful singing teacher. I have been doing online lessons with her, and I have absolutely loved it. Sue is great at explaining techniques and how they can be used in singing. I have seen a massive improvement in my voice since coming to Sue, and she has helped me prepare to start my Bachelor of Musical Theatre. Sue is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her, particularly for online lessons!😊

I have been visiting Sue for vocal lessons for about 8 sessions now. In just a short time I have made a breakthrough in my vocal technique due to her expertise, knowledge and patience as an amazing teacher. I highly recommend her services and encourage those to just go for it. You will definitely get a lot out of having lessons through her knowledge and techniques.

I think Sue is the ultimate professional and would recommend her to anyone looking to learn as a beginner or a seasoned professional. I had been working as a soloist for many many years and developed some bad habits. After a quick assessment she recognised the problem I was having and now I am enjoying my singing more than ever. Thank you Sue

As a voice teacher, Sue has been nothing but incredible. She’s worked patiently with me, and I have all my confidence in her, as her IVA methodology is a process which feels safe, low pressure and highly effective. After being with her for 5-6 months my voice has improved significantly and I’m excited to see what the future holds. I can’t recommend Sue enough, she’s endearing, great fun to work with, and as qualified as they get! Do yourself a favour and get started with her! :)
