I was delighted to have found a singing teacher located in the south peninsula, and now having started lessons with Karen, I am even happier. Her dedicated music room is full of scores and she is easily able to find suitable songs well-matched to my voice. The warm-ups are varied and fun and I love singing, looking out over the trees in her garden, to her piano accompaniments. I always leave feeling uplifted and I can hear how my singing voice is benefitting from her tuition. I highly recommend Karen as a vocal coach and teacher.

I’m incredibly grateful for the past three years with my piano teacher, Karen. Her guidance, patience, and expertise have helped me accomplish more than I thought possible. From technique to performance, she has nurtured my growth and instilled confidence. Her passion for music is contagious. I highly recommend Karen to anyone seeking a dedicated and inspiring piano teacher. Her impact extends beyond music, shaping my discipline and creativity. Thank you for an unforgettable journey.

Before I started lessons with Karen, my voice was in a terrible state due to acid reflux damage. I could barely speak without pain, let alone sing. Karen’s teaching is very intuitive and tailored to your personal level. And that differs from day to day. over the months, and now years, I’ve seen a steady improvement in my ability to sing. I’ve gone from painful croaking to confidently singing and have extended my singing range by at least three notes! Songs that were once out of reach are now much easier to sing. I still occasionally wake up with a scratchy throat from reflux, but with the help of Karen’s warm-up’s, I am able to get back into singing again. My experience with another singing teacher was not like this – they expected me to already be skilled and didn’t focus on warm-up’s or breathing techniques. Karen taught me that singing is a learnable skill and gave me the essential tools to succeed. I’m so grateful for her expertise!

During lockdown I felt a loss without being able to sing in my two choirs. After never going to voice coaching, I was recommended to Karen Wilson-Harris who has done wonders for my voice. She even recommended I study towards a singing qualification and achieved my Grade 6 Trinity certification in 2021. Karen is a natural teacher and you feel totally comfortable in her presence.

I’m an adult beginner, who’s new to singing. Now each week I look forward to go and have some me-time. Karen’s teaching style is motivating, lighthearted and filled with practical pointers. It’s helped tremendously in reaching noted I’d never thought I’d be capable of. Karen is encouraging and creates a safe learning environment in which you feel free to make mistakes. Her teaching feels effortless.

I’ve been having regular singing lessons with Karen for a few years, and they are a great source of joy and inspiration. Karen is a consummate professional who conducts her lessons with insight and sensitivity. She is quick to assess exactly where a student is at in their musical journey, tailoring exercises and guidance to be at the right level to foster their growth. Her cosy studio with its lovely outlook provides a safe space to learn and practice, and I leave every lesson feeling encouraged and uplifted. I sing with more confidence now, and have had others comment on how much my singing has improved, which I believe is a clear reflection of Karen’s skill as a teacher. In addition, her rates are very affordable, making her quality vocal coaching highly accessible.

My son, Tristan, has been taking singing lessons with Karen for the past year and it’s truly the highlight of his week. He absolutely loves every session – his joy and confidence have grown so much thanks to her wonderful guidance

I have been having singing lessons with Karen for the past few years. The lesson is the highlight of my week. Karen is professional, knowledgeable, empathetic and also finds ways of teaching the rigours of music with fun and flair! As an adult student, working with Karen to improve my range, voice quality and ability to tackle songs beyond my current level has been an incredible experience.

Learning to play the piano as an adult has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life – and that’s thanks to Karen Wilson-Harris. She is endlessly patient, supportive, and exceptional at explaining music theory in a way that feels clear and exciting. I love how she demonstrates each piece so you can hear how the music should come alive, helping you not just to play, but to truly feel the music. She encourages students to bring their own music books, making every lesson deeply personal and tailored to your goals, With her clear guidance and practical finger exercises, you gradually build both confidence and skill – while strengthening Neurobrain patterns through mindful practice and focused coordination. It’s amazing to see and feel your brain and hands learning together in harmony. For any adult who’s ever dreamed of learning piano, I can’t recommend Karen Wilson-Harris highly enough. Her passion and encouragement make every lesson a joyful step on a lifelong musical journey.

I embarked on my singing journey just a few years ago, never having sung before. It quickly became clear that I needed guidance and that’s when I found Karen – exactly what I needed. Karen’s kindness, patience, insight and deep knowledge have transformed my experience. I’ve grown in both confidence and skill. Friends often compliment me on how much my singing has improved and I owe it all to Karen’s dedicated support. She’s truly an exceptional teacher.

I have been taking voice lessons with Karen for only five months, but in that short time, I’ve expanded my range as a tenor. Not only have I expanded my range but I’ve been taught techniques that have enabled me to reach high tenor notes without straining my voice. This alone has been a huge breakthrough for me as a singer as it has given me the confidence I lacked in the past that I would be able to hit a note without struggling. The other thing I feel is well worth mentioning is if I’m not singing, I’m laughing and having fun. What could be better than that? I’ve had voice lessons for several years with other voice coaches but now I’m having fun doing it. I cannot recommend Karen highly enough as a voice coach as she brings her experience as a performer as well as her musical training into each lesson. Karen builds confidence as well as improves skills to make singing what it should be, joyful!

To take up singing again at the age of 70 was a personal challenge. I have been working with Karen for two years and it was the most enjoyable journey. My first impression was her warm personality that immediately made me feel at ease.

With patience, experience and skill she managed to guide me through the basic qualities and more advanced techniques needed to perform. My weekly lessons have been great fun and at the same time productive. Her personal impact had an enormous influence on my advancement that stretches beyond technical skills. Achieving my goals in mastering more difficult songs, improving my range and performing with confidence, have been personal highlights. I wholeheartedly endorse Karen to anyone looking to advance as a vocalist.
