Carley has been amazing with my 5 year old daughter, she has learnt soo much and has thoroughly enjoyed her lessons ... thank you for all your hard work.
Carley is so talented and professional, my little girl loves to sing and Carley is amazing with her! my little girl tells everyone about her classes with Carley, we cant recommend her enough, she is an absolute pleasure to be around.
Carley has been a performing arts coach at the Academy of future stars
for over 6 years. She is an asset to any business I found her amazingly professional, experienced, talented, supportive to all the students and extremely likeable!
All the parents and children love Carley.
Her talent is exceptional I would most definitely hire her for any event in a heart beat!
Good luck with all your new ventures Carley!
Carley is classically trained and my family and I had the privilege to see her perform, and enjoy her beautiful voice.
When I decided to take lessons for my son I had no hesitation in choosing Carley as his teacher, he is learning so much to help him improve and is thoroughly enjoy his lessons,

A brilliant teacher - patient, great at communication, able to cater to my level very well, and also someone it's really easy to get along with! Would highly recommend for anyone interested in performing.
Carley has been a great help to is in finding a theatre class for our primary school daughter! She's not into instruments - just wants to sing! Unfortunately her school doesn't provide lessons as it would for say trumpet so we had to search ourselves. Daughter can't wait for her classes and it's really giving her confidence and bringing out her voice!
Carley has taught both my girls for the last year - lovely lady and really helped improved both girls technique. Very adaptable to manage my child's cognitive issues following an injury as well. Can highly recommend.
Carly is a very patient teacher. She listens well to your voice, and customises her voice exercises/ songs for you to practice, to best develop your singing. She gives constructive feedback. Carey has definitely helped with my confidence in singing and is developing my ability to hit some high notes I didn’t think I would ever reach! Very professional in her approach plus also makes it fun, a great coach and has a lovely personality.
I have been having lessons with Carley for a few months now and am loving it. I've never had singing lessons before and was not a very confident singer before having these lesson but Carley is very welcoming and doesn't make you feel judged when learning to sing. She helped me see the good parts of my voice and things I need to work on. The lessons are fun and relaxed.
Carley has worked with my daughter leading up to her school production and made a great impact in a short space of time. She is clearly very knowledgeable both as a singer herself and also as a teacher. My daughter performed with great confidence and enjoyment - we will certainly be continuing with lessons with Carley and would highly recommend her to others looking for lessons.
Carley is a wonderful and talented singer/teacher. I have worked with Carley for the past 4 years now and have nothing but great things to say about her professionalism and talent. Hampshire is very lucky to have such an inspiring and talented creative
Dealing with Carley has been an absolute pleasure. She has been wonderful with our granddaughter as it not always easy to inspire teenagers. Carley took the time to find out about her , the things that she liked and to connect with her. It certainly worked because our granddaughter is happy , inspired and absolutely loves her lessons. Apart from being an amazing singer and teacher she is a beautiful human being.
Finding Carley as a singing tutor for our granddaughter was one of the best things that we did. Thank you Carley
I have found Carley to be an excellent teacher. She has helped improve my daughters singing technique and vocal range within a matter of months. Her personable style and extensive subject knowledge has meant that lessons are fun and engaging .
My daughter loves to sing.....24/7. Last year we decided to look for a singing teacher to help her learn to sing properly, understand music and breathing techniques. Carley has been a dream. My daughter has learnt so much in such a short time and has been taught in a way she understands being only 7 years old. Her progress has been outstanding and her confidence and breathing techniques have improved greatly. Carley has recommended next steps in her progress and we have started to work on singing grade 3. We would highly recommend Carley as a singing teacher. Thank you for your help and support in making her dreams come true. X
My seven year old daughter absolutely loves her weekly singing lessons with Carley. The lessons are always fun, engaging and focus on developing an understanding of the core vocal skills, alongside building up a repertoire of songs. Carley is an excellent teacher; she is very personable and patient. It’s been lovely to see my daughter improve and grow in confidence over the past year, while always having fun. I couldn’t recommend highly enough
