About Yuko
- What kind of experience do you have?
I am an experienced performer, having performed at renowned jazz clubs such as Pizza Express Jazz Club Soho, the Vortex, The Spice of Life Soho and Richmix. I have extensive knowledge and experience in teaching with performance psychology and IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) for those who sings in English as a foreign language.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
Yes.
- Where and with whom did you train?
I got trained at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance and was taught by Simon Purcell, Julian Siegel, Martin Speake, Brigitte Beraha and Nia Lynn. Also had lessons with Anita Wardell for a few years prior to the college above.
- Tell me about some of your current students.
Some of my students are professional singer / actors who wants to establish jazz singing techniques so I help them develop swing feel, embellishment of the melody and improvisation techniques. I also have some complete beginners and support them in building confidence in singing and guiding them how to love their voice.
