Vocals

My name is Connie Jachnik and I am the singing teacher here at Malmesbury C of E Primary School. I have been teaching for the past 11 years in both Primary and Secondary schools. As a singer I have performed with the Welsh National Youth Opera, Welsh National Chorus and toured around the world to New York, Prague and Hong Kong as a lead vocalist for a Jazz band.

I teach a variety styles of singing; Classical, Pop and Musical Theatre. Pupils learn the fundamental techniques for singing in a fun and engaging way which can lead onto examinations.

In my spare time I enjoy composing my own songs and writing for School Productions. I have also taken a number of short course in Music Therapy which I can apply into my style of teaching. When not teaching I enjoy painting and taking walks with my rescue dogs.

Lessons can be either individual or shared, and a taster lesson can be arranged initially so that your child can try the violin before starting.
