Katterwall Vocal Academy
Katterwall Vocal Academy, established in 2002 under the direction of Bethan Greaves, has inspired hundreds of students in Hong Kong to develop their passion for singing. Our teaching staff has grown from one to currently eight teachers; all active performers in the professional and amateur music scene in both HK and overseas.
Mission Statement We provide our students with the opportunity to develop their voice to its full potential, exploring a diverse repertoire of musical styles in a supportive and inspiring environment. We believe in nurturing the whole musician through a well-rounded music education.
Singing Tuition
One-on-one tuition for students aged 11+. Lessons comprise of warm-ups, sight singing, 'practical' theory and learning songs from classical and popular repertoires. Lessons can be geared towards school exams (esp. GCSE & IB), music exams (ABRSM / Trinity College), specific performances, auditions or just for pure enjoyment!
Music Theory Tuition
Theory is often relegated to an afterthought for many music students. However, a solid understanding of the basics of music theory are vital for the well-rounded musician. Theory lessons focus on the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) syllabus and students are encouraged to enter exams as and when appropriate. Grade 5 Theory is a pre-requisite for every student wishing to go beyond Grade 5 in their practical exams.
Aural Skills
Most school music syllabi carry a high percentage of marks for the listening element - yet this is often the area left most to chance. Weekly lessons give students the opportunity to broaden their musical knowledge, increase their vocabulary and practice the many different skills required for the listening paper.
All lessons can be 30 / 45 / 60 minutes long
