About Lina
Soprano Lina Saavedra began musical studies in Puerto Rico. Returning to her native New York, she completed a Bachelor of Music at Houghton College School of Music, followed by further studies at London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Trinity College of Music, and a Master of Music from the University of London, Goldsmiths College. A dual British and American citizen, Lina is now based in Hertfordshire.
Lina has over 25 years experience teaching voice. Previous posts include Stagecoach Theatre Arts Schools, South Hampstead High School for Girls, Queen's College in London and several schools for the Hertfordshire Music Service.
Musical Styles
Whilst Lina is trained as a classical singer, she has experience singing and teaching Musical Theatre and Popular musical styles. Many of her students go on to take Singing examinations through the ABRSM or Trinity Guildhall boards. Audition advice and preparation is also offered.
First Lesson
In lesson one, my aim is to get to know you and your voice and understand your vocal needs and objectives. This is also an opportunity to see if what I offer is for you. In a very relaxed atmosphere I will warm up your voice, discuss my observations with you and devise a plan together in order to achieve your goals. No music is required in the first lesson, but you are free to bring a piece if you wish. Beginners to advanced singers are most welcome.
Testimonials
"Lina is a wonderful teacher. I've been seeing her for lessons for about 2-3 years now. During that time she has helped me improve not only my Singing ability massively, but also my Singing technique. Lina employs a range of different teaching methods which help me to improve while also keeping the lessons fun, enjoyable and engaging." Jamie, age 17
