SANDRA’S PREVIOUS COACHING SESSIONS…

  • “Thanks so much for a wonderful session with us yesterday. We’ve had coaching in the past and I’ve never seen anything which has made such an impression.”

    River City Chorus, February 2025

  • “Well what a day we have had with the WONDERFUL Sandra Smith. Honestly she was like a magician and the difference in our sound following her guidance, was amazing!”

    Blackdown Acapella Barbershop Chorus, March 2025

  • “You met our hopes for the start of our day beautifully. It was exactly the beginning we needed. The feedback was that it was glorious. It certainly shifted the energy into the right place and brought us together. I know that people appreciated the warmup and practical experience of stretches that can be done at a desk! Thank you.”

    Talking Heads, March 2025

  • “You absolutely rocked today, Sandra! We all loved it, and you! So clear, joyful and precise. Everyone left on a high!”

    Lala & Big Noise Chorus, March 2025

  • "Thank you so so much for your work with our quartet. It has been so impactful to our sound already with resonance and ringing happening already."

    The Bluebells, competing Quartet May 2025

  • “Sandra spent a number of weeks listening to recordings of us singing and shared her broad plan with me before the day of the workshop. She was able to identify some issues that we weren't aware of, then tailored our session to pull our sound together and lift our performance to a level we didn't know we could achieve. The singers went away saying that as well as a group session, it felt like a private singing lesson.”

    Birdhouse Singers (small ensemble) May 2025

  • “My friend was so grateful to you for your workshop. She regularly sings in the church Choir and really benefited from your advice.”

    Dart Music Festival, May 2025

  • Thank you so much for a mind-blowing few weeks of singing and breathing. I think we probably only skimmed the surface of your wealth of knowledge, but I found every moment absorbing, challenging and intensely rewarding! Having the opportunity to devote time to this in such a mindful way was very special. Looking forward to part 2!

    Women’s Singing Course PART 1 - October 2025
