'I had lessons with Aimee when she was in Manchester for about six months. Her lessons were great, well structured and tailored to your individual needs. I always left really positive ready for the next lesson. Aimee is a great inspiration and I was able to achieve an amazing result at a local music festival from having lessons with her.' - Joanna Brown
'I am 14 years old and started having lessons with Aimee as I want to study musical theatre when I leave school. Aimee is an excellent teacher - she is fun, friendly and supportive. I always feel that I have learnt something new and improved after every lesson. During lockdown I entered a national online singing competition and won first place in my age category. I also sat my LCM musical theatre solo grade 4 exam and passed with distinction. My examiner commented on 'fabulous clear lines' and 'solid classical technique'. With Aimee’s excellent teaching skills and hard work I achieved my results. I love and look forward to my lessons every week.' - Keeley Johnston.
'I started singing lessons with Aimee last November. My goal was to prepare for a singing recital in June of this year. Aimee was the perfect coach, lessons were fun and challenging. She will bring out the very best in students who are prepared to work hard. I have had a wonderful year studying with her. The recital in June was a great success and I gave another recital in October. I consider myself a very lucky student to have her as my vocal coach.' - Fiona Shaw
