Lea Baker (she / her) is a voice pedagogue, singing teacher, singer and voice coach. Her teaching philosophy focuses on tension-free, resonant and embodied singing.

Having formed the group 25 years ago, she has refined the training of her new chorus members to the specific and relevant skills they need. All her chorus members undertake the online Choirs Vocal Program.

“The course doesn’t replace vocal education at rehearsals, but it’s an excellent precursor, giving our new singers a solid understanding of key vocal concepts to build on at our weekly choir rehearsals” Lea Baker.

Excellent narrative which made this step by step format easy and enjoyable to follow. Loved the smelling something beautiful segment and the use of the words natural, instinctive and organic. A wonderful common sense approach with no overthinking or ambiguities. Thank you Lea.

Anyone who follows the information and activities, and who takes the time to practise what they learn, will certainly become a better singer! The modules are easy to absorb and understand. I particularly like the emphasis throughout the program to "relax" and not stress! Also very helpful were the quick - but effective! - occasions when Lea mentions the way NOT to do things, followed immediately by the better way. You are to be congratulated, Lea, on a wonderful, comprehensive introduction to (and reminder of!) the basics of great singing.
