No, despite being classically trained, Jo does not teach classical music aside from a few piano grade pieces in piano lessons. Jo's speciality is rock, pop, jazz and musical theatre.

Jo has a large selection of sheet music. However, if there is something particular you wish to learn that is not in Jo's collection, you may have to purchase the sheet music yourself, either from a music shop or as a digital download. There are a few sites listed on the links page where you can obtain sheet music.

For trial lessons, you are most welcome to sit in on the lesson with your son or daughter. For regular lessons it's best that parents wait outside as there is nowhere to wait on the premises.

If it's easier for you, you're welcome to pay for a block of lessons. Cheques should be made out to JC Vocals.

No, you don't have to take part in the summer show if you don't want to.

Jo currently has a waiting list but will endeavour to fit you in for a trial lesson if a space temporarily becomes available within your specified days/times. This can be down to a current student cancelling a lesson or going on holiday so the slot may not be permanently available and may come up at short notice.

Lessons do not follow term times and continue as normal through school holidays and breaks. Jo breaks for Christmas and does not teach on bank holidays or weekends.

Jo generally does not teach at weekends.

Space for parking is available in the road. Please do not park in the driveway as access is often required.
