Private Lesson

The Sue Bond Singing Studio……….Producing Excellence

Pic-of-Kaitlyn-from-Creative-Schools-Onstage-300x200Whether you are a beginner or a professional singer, Sue Bond can help you to achieve your dream.

Sue studied voice at Perth Conservatorium and Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University and graduated with High Distinction in the Graduate Certificate in Music Studies / Vocal Pedagogy.

As a member of ANATS (Australian National Association of Teachers of Singing), Sue is informed continually of new developments in Voice Science and regularly attends Voice Seminars with International and National leaders in this field.

Private instruction with Sue provides students/clients with individual guidance and a comprehensive training programme to develop a well-rounded, adaptable technique and an individual, personal vocal style, necessary for excellent performance. Emphasis is on free function and healthy vocalising needed for contemporary singing, which includes, breath management, body alignment, maintenance of vocal health, articulation and coordination of your instrument.

Singing For Children and Adults

Singing lessons on the Sunshine Coast in Maroochydore for children and adults are conducted on a one to one basis at Sue’s fully equipped studio.

No previous experience is needed, and lessons are available for both the development of professional singing ability, or for fun and personal growth. You may take lessons to build your confidence for an audition or specifically for an event at which you wish to perform.

Whatever the motivation, you will quickly hear improvement in your singing.

Genre and Repertoire

Sue teaches all contemporary styles including Pop, Rock , Jazz and Musical Theatre. Whatever your stylistic choice, you will be equipped to branch out into any style you choose. You may wish to choose your own songs or choose a song from her large library. You will be guided in appropriate choice of repertoire for you level of experience

Breathing

All styles of singing start from efficient breathing and breath support. Sue is committed to helping singers find a reliable connection to their breathing when they sing. It is very important for singers and actors who need to perform in a naturalistic and conversational way while still making great sounds. This is a goal which is very attainable with the help of vocal exercises as well as conceptual ideas.

Singing Is Like Talking

Often we find that in trying to make “singer-like” sounds, singers do not release their voice the way they are capable of. In reality, the release that singing requires is nearer to conversation-level talking. Sue works with singers to help them link their singing with more familiar and natural ways that humans produce sound. Not only does this concept help with great singing technique, but it also helps the singing actor.

For the more advanced singer

Issues of belting, mixing, heavy voice and light voice (registration) are a passion with Sue. You will be shown how to use these different registers and resonances, and how they apply them to different styles. You will learn how to move seamlessly through your range so that you sound and feel like you are always singing with one voice and not multiple or separate voices in different areas of your range.

Space and Resonance

The space and resonance that a singer uses to sing is a component to what sounds they eventually make. It is a similar concept with musical instruments. Depending on the size and shape of any instrument, a variety of sounds can be made. The sound of different acoustic guitars, for example, is going to be determined by their resonance space. In the same way, singers use the resonance spaces of their bodies to make and manipulate sound. Sue will show you how to use these spaces to create effortless vocal production.

Teaching, Training, and Mentoring

Sue also offers training and mentoring to aspiring singing teachers and experienced vocal teachers to help them reach their potential as teachers of singing. Sue is committed to helping singers through her teaching and also helping other voice teachers develop their skills as teachers.

In order to progress…….

You will be advised in strategies for practice to develop your skills. Self motivation and commitment must come from within. It is important that you stay focused, so lessons are inspirational and enjoyable.

  • Sue Bond is firstly an excellent singer. Every song she sings is delivered with a fine understanding of the complete heart & soul of the music and lyrics. To work with her is a musicians delight

    Bruce Cale, bassist, Dudley Moore Trio
  • Geez, she’s bloody good mate!

  • Sue is so solid with the vocals. Not many people can sing, or would even try to sing ‘Invitation’ and she just NAILS the melody. It’s wonderful.

  • “In The Moment” is great jazz, the stuff that gets your brain, your ears and your limbs all buzzing at the same time. If you don’t agree check your pulse – you may be dead

    Andrew Tucker CD review, Sunshine Coast Daily
  • When it comes to straightahead swinging, Sue Bond’s track Drycleaner (from Des Moines) is the standout – thanks in no small part to her rhythm section of seasoned jazzmen – Geoff Proud (drums), Vince Genova (piano) and Bruce Cale (bass).

    David Bentley David Bentley Review of Sue Bond Jazz Quartet on the 2008 Merlo Coffee Compilation
  • On this recording Sue Bond brings to life the real beauty in the American song book. Her feeling for the tradition and deep understanding of the lyrics express a life lived in the material itself. It’s so real. I also love the way the band is lead so effortlessly by Sue’s vocal. The shared energy within the group just draws you in. Makes you feel like you are right there with them. Pure magic!

    John Morrisons John Morrisons review of Sue’s CD “Come Back To Me”
  • As an almost complete non-singer, I first started singing lessons with Sue, at the late age of 53. Added to this my range was extremely limited, as I never sang in my head voice. However it was my fortune to have chosen Sue to guide me along the path of vocal tuition, and during the last three and a half years, she has helped me develop into a competent hobby singer and amateur concert performer, with greatly extended range. Many sincere and heartfelt thanks Sue for your support and true professionalism along the path of vocal enjoyment.

  • I had always wanted to be a singer since I was a child. I would sit glued to Young Talent Time (that is showing my age) every Saturday …… sadly that childhood dream became lost with the demands of adulthood.

    I continued to fantasize about whether I could sing and had always promised myself (like many of us do) that I would one day take singing lessons. Many times I had tried to call teachers but to my surprise I became too nervous to follow it through.

    I moved to Noosa to commence a business and one sunny Sunday afternoon a duo was singing outside my store. I was so inspired by the singer’s voice that I approached her and asked if she knew of a singing teacher…. Of course this was Sue Bond and I took lessons straight away.

    Sue not only taught me to sing she increased my self confidence in all aspects of my life.

    I would say to anyone who is thinking of taking lessons with Sue, expect a warm and caring teacher who will encourage and allow you to realize your highest potential in a friendly but very professional manner.

    Sue’s greatest attribute (after her amazing voice) is her passion for singing.

  • Learning to sing had long been a dream of mine and I had decided to take lessons as a birthday present to myself. I knew Sue Bond was the right teacher when she listened carefully during my first lesson to my reasons for feeling scared of signing in front of other people. Sue worked with me on building my confidence to sing; through teaching me breathing techniques and building my understanding of the anatomy of the voice. I especially enjoyed the song choices we made together and the feeling of accomplishment when I had learnt the lyrics and really ‘felt’ the song when I sang it. Sue’s relaxed and caring approach to teaching put me at ease and inspired me to practice and commit to learning each week. I now feel confident enough to join a choir and continue my singing journey for the rest of my life. A heartfelt thank you Sue.
