Royal College of Music

Working with Bridget has been eye opening and impactful for my growth as a performer. Her teaching style is both encouraging and firm – she really sees your potential and pushes you to step into it. She helped me connect more deeply to the meaning of a song and truly mean what I’m singing—something that’s essential in jazz. Exploring different emotional tones and vocal characters with her has opened up new ways in my approach to singing songs dynamically!

I have worked with Bridget over many years, gaining confidence and performance skills essential to the growth of my music business. She has a remarkable ability to be fully supportive while at the same time finding and correcting pivotal musical and performance issues. I have seen Bridget work with both timid beginners and confident professionals – they leave feeling respected, supported and with profound lessons they will remember and use into the future.

Bridget’s coaching literally changed my life. I was unable to dance on stage due to self consciousness and self judgement. Her combination of body work, psychology and technique refinement transformed my performance psyche, and I now jump at the chance to perform. I’ve had the privilege to watch her coach a host of other performers and I’m always amazed at the transformation in their confidence, presence, style and technique after working with her.

Bridget coached our male choir and from the first it was obvious she had a wealth of experience as a musician, performer and teacher and a great sense of humour. She quickly identified key musical areas for us to work on, spoke eloquently on voice production, pronunciation and tone, and gave us strategies for improving ensemble and vocal blend. All the while she made every member feel honoured and worthy of her instruction. The effects of her work were significant and lasting.

Dale Jones, the Nightinguys

The sessions have been carefully and expertly presented, drawing on a very obvious wealth of experience as performer and teacher. Besides being a very fine solo player, Bridget has always been an excellent ensemble player; many of our scores are for mixed instrumentation including string trio or quartet and her sensitivity and musicianship have always been superb.

Royal Shakespeare Company

Bridget worked with teachers and students from a very wide range of age and ability with sensitivity, thoroughness and wit, and inspired great enthusiasm in audience and participants alike.
