Valentina is an established recording artist, performer, session singer, songwriter and film composer. She works mainly with pop and soul voices, though her own training covers classical, musical theatre and jazz. She especially enjoys helping singers discover and develop their own unique vocal style. An important aspect of Valentina's teaching is a focus on good vocal health; she has helped to identify and remedy voice issues with a number of students, and with experience in heavy tour schedules and long studio sessions she knows how to help you get the best out of your voice consistently. The majority of Valentina's students work within the music industry, but she does also teach complete beginners and hobbyists, and very much enjoys helping people find their voice and develop confidence in it as she has seen how much of a positive impact this can have on every element of people's lives.
