Maria has a tremendous effect on me personally and professionaly; enabling a sense of strength clarity & freedom in my voice I've never achived before.

Maria is a great teacher full of positive energy. As a professional busker I used to lose my voice often but I haven't lost it once since I started lessons with her. She has also helpt me gain confidence to achieve things with my voice I never thought I could! She has a really broad and thorough knowledge of the anatomy of the voice which has enabled me to cross between classical and pop music when I work. Highly recommended

Maria is magic. Through her gudiance, teaching and unique intuition, the quality and stamina of my voice have improved enormously. I have had singing teachers before, but Maria is not just a teacher. What she offers is so much more and the freedom that I have now achieved within my vocal range is something that I will always be truly grateful to her for.

I have been having singing lessons with Maria Rivington for nearly 3 years. I approached Maria to give me singing lessons after attending a choral course in which she offered a Vocal MOT. Although I had been singing for most of my life I had never had lessons and had reached a stage where I felt I had issues with my voice that I wanted to address. The lessons have been exceedingly helpful. In working with Maria I have learnt vital vocal techniques that have enabled me to sing with confidence and find a new voice that I enjoy using in a variety of repetoire. Maria has always been encouraging and I very much feel our lessons are a partnership. I am delighted to recommend her

I have been a client of Maria's for over five years. Following a lengthy spell of ill health and suffering with asthma I needed help correcting all the bad habits I had pickedup. Maria's experience and positive, encouraging professional manner has helped me immensely - I now enjoy singing pieces I could only dream of before.

Maria's kind, warm and intelligent approach gets the very best out of her students. She is well-informed and open-minded. She combines her own extensive education and training as a performer which allows her to find the best way of interacting with each student as an individual. This is key to her success as a coach. Her expectations are high but never unrealistic. I always leave a session with a feeling of achievement and I often find myself recommending her services to other people.

I took singing lessons with Maria, because I noticed that suddenly my voice started to get tired and I realised that I needed to work on my technique. Maria identified in the first lesson exactly what I was doing wrong and did precisely the right exercises to correct the issues. She has turned my singing technique around completely. Maria has a keen eye and ear and understands her students. She excellent at demonstrating what to do (or not do). I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Maria takes a highly professional approach in helping me to develop my singing voice. She is focussed on what I want to work on and take away from the sessions. She helps me to work toward achieving my goals, gives helpful appraisals, empowers and acknowledges achievements. A thoroughly enjoyable experience, which has led to satisfying improvements.
