"Dear Andrea
I feel compelled to express my gratitude for the inspirational Gospel Singing classes. I took
the opportunity to enrol having initially searched to join a community singing group around
my local area of Bow. I was pleasantly surprised to find over thirty people in the first week
class.
I have found your teaching enthusiastic, energetic, and professional for the subject you
obviously love. I appreciate in particular your gentle honesty towards the students taking into
consideration their abilities, and background whilst being sensitive to each individual need.
Truly inspiring.
The various breathing, voice, stance, and articulation exercises have helped enormously in
building up the necessary muscles and have provided a solid base for good singing
practices.
In addition to all this the classes have put me in touch with student peers who have also
inspired and challenged me to greater focus and commitment. Seeing the pictures of your
trip to Poland and the obvious joy of all those who participated have convinced me that there
is a lot to be gained in terms of building great friendships and meeting new and exciting
people.
As a result of your classes and in particular your enthusiasm and dedication I have decided
at the grand old age of 44 to pursue Gospel singing as a career. I am looking forwards to
learning from you, and becoming a useful member of the group.
Thanks for your inspiring teaching."

"Andrea's singing tuition is giving me a good foundation to learn to sing correctly and
develop my voice. Each session is enjoyable and is giving me more confidence to sing
more. Cheers."

"When I started being tutored by Andrea, I was singing very much from the throat in the
'pop music' style. With her guidance I learned to produce a much, richer, stronger, more
velvet-like sound. I found Andrea very supportive and myself and my friends had a lot of
fun attending her classes, concerts and overseas performances."

"The guidance by Andrea helps to focus on what you need to do to improve and can be
quite insightful. I think her values and structure work well with my Christian and personal
values and have found them complimentary to my all around ministerial goals. Many
thanks. I can highly recommend her work to any singer regardless of their level there is
something for everyone."

"Since attending Andrea's gospel singing courses my voice has developed Immensely.
The courses are very thorough and the foundation given is a good start to build on. I
have learned so much about how to sing and more importantly how to breathe properly,
coupled with the essential exercises and posture; how to sing in unison and harmony,
voice projection, sustaining a note, and to build confidence to perform at various venues.
The valuable singing techniques I have gained from Andrea has assisted me greatly in
developing my voice and also helped me to sing a variety of songs with a different gospel
flavour. Andrea is a very experienced tutor and her classes are invariably enjoyable and
effective."

"Since I started singing in the adult education Gospel Beginner's Group and now in the
RobinSing Gospel Choir, I have noticed a distinct development in my voice:
My vocal range has widened, and along with it my confidence to try singing outside of my
'comfort zone'. I have greatly improved volume and projection, and am also able to hold
onto notes for a greater length of time. My singing technique overall has developed and I
am amazed at how much stronger and confident my voice is after such a short period of
time- and I know that this will continue to improve with practice, and also support from
Andrea and fellow choir members."

"Andrea has this wonderful way of letting you know that there is more about what you do
than you know. Within her teaching skills she somehow makes you believe that you can do
more and you can go higher. You are never fooled into thinking that it is going to be easy,
but you know with hard work you can achieve what Andrea says you can achieve.
For me breathing is important while I sing and Andrea has shown me that in order to
breathe right my stomach muscles must be developed and she has given me exercises to
help do this have I noticed a change YES both in my singing and my confidence thank you
Andrea Robinson."

"Before Andrea became involved with our church choir, there was no structure of any kind,
We were undisciplined and uncompromising. Due to Andrea's consistent loving, caring and
diligent attitude, structure and discipline were brought into place. The choir were
encouraged to involve themselves with the church's Bible study, prayer meetings and to
discipline themselves with Bible memory verses. Andrea's caring attitude is not only while
on duty but also outside her duty. I find her very open, fair, honest, willing, fair and
dedicated in all she does. For me she has been inspiring and encouraging and has helped
to develop my vocal range which is improving steadily. I thank God for what He is doing
through her."
