Vera graduated from The Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester UK as a music teacher. She then achieved “Licentiate of The Royal Academy of Music” in London as a singing teacher.
However, before she began teaching, Vera spent 20 years as a professional singer/musician, moving through classical to folk, jazz, and finally to pop music. She did many international gigs, live radio, live TV, session singing and was signed to Warner Bros as a singer/songwriter.
Vera then founded The Solo School of Singing in London.
It was the first singing school to specialize in pop music and became very successful with thousands of students attending over 14 years. It was accredited by The Brit School and Brighton Institute of Modern Music as an excellent music educator.
Vera also founded “Vera’s Music Academy” in Maryland and Florida. Then in March 2020, it became an online school and is now expanding worldwide.
Message from Vera:
“Surprisingly, the online lessons are creating more progress than face to face.
The students receive backing tracks, piano accompaniments, sheet music, videos of breathing and vocal exercises, and demonstration recordings. With this much preparation and content, their progress has been excellent.
I love teaching. I love to hear the student go “Oooooh!” as they realize something they haven’t understood for years.
Or to see a big smile when they master the high notes of a song.
Or to see tears of joy from the parents at a recital.
Luckily, this all continues online as we connect to keep the music going.”
