ABOUT CATHY VARD

As a member of the Vard Sisters and as a solo artist signed to Sony Music Ireland, I have over 40 years of experience as a professional singer and recording artist.

​

I've been teaching singing lessons to children, professional singers and complete beginners now for over 15years.

​

My teaching methods can be applied to all genres of music, from pop, rock, folk, classical, country and jazz. 

 

I teach singing using a more holistic method so that children can learn to sing in a healthier way, I use some of the concepts from the Alexander Technique,  Speech Therapy and Thai Chi, this gives children a whole-body awareness when they sing.  

 

Cathy has had extensive voice training over the years including:

​

• Royal Irish Academy of Music where she studied with Paul Deegan.

• The College Of Music with Peter Mc Brien.

• The Ballyfermot School Of Music and with Evelyn Dowling.

• Trained with Sylvia O’Regan who is a Lecturer in Singing at the Royal Irish Academy of Music, Dublin.

• Most recently Cathy has trained with the renowned internationally established voice teacher Deborah Birnbaum, who is a breath specialist technician.

I don’t believe money should stand in the way of learning, which is why I’m proud to offer a range of classes at affordable prices. To find out more about my background, classes or approach, please get in touch.
