About Sophia
Hi, I’m Sophia. From a young age, music has been my way of understanding and expressing emotion. I started playing saxophone and singing at five, learning piano and guitar soon after. Alongside a love of poetry and writing, music became a way for me to make sense of my emotions — almost a form of therapy.
I’ve performed in all sorts of settings, from West End shows as a musical theatre kid to headlining venues in Scotland and Sydney with my own music as an alternative artist.
Now, I’d love to share what I’ve learnt with you. Whether through singing, songwriting or simply exploring what you want to express, my aim is to help you free your voice and allow your mind to make sense of some of the noise.
As a Philosophy undergraduate, I’m also deeply interested in the aesthetics and philosophy of music — why music moves us, how it communicates emotion, and how we can use it to express things that words alone sometimes can’t.

Hi, I’m Sophia! My sessions are shaped around you, your interests and what you want to develop.
I offer songwriting sessions for those wanting to develop their own voice as a writer and artist. A large part of these sessions can be spent talking through the ideas, experiences and emotions you want to express. We can draw on philosophy, psychology and a deeper exploration of the psyche to help you understand what you’re trying to say and translate that into honest, emotionally expressive writing.
I also offer singing lessons for anyone looking to build confidence in their voice, with a focus on contemporary styles such as pop, indie and alternative music.
Songwriting sessions can be purely lyric-based, almost like creative writing or poetry, or we can work more musically with melody, harmony and composition. If you’re interested in full compositional songwriting, I recommend having some knowledge of an instrument alongside vocals, such as piano or guitar.
Above all, these sessions are about helping you become more confident in your own creative voice and develop a style of writing that feels genuinely yours.

Sophia is an incredibly hardworking and attentive individual, evident from her fantastic academic record and experience in leadership roles. As such, she makes a trustworthy tutor, being able to adapt to the student’s skill level, provide any needed support and encourage a fun and productive work environment.
Sophia was a great saxophone tutor who was able to greatly improve my musical improvisation skills and sight reading! Her patience and various approaches to teaching keeps the lessons exciting and fun, and I couldn’t recommend her enough! She works well with young children, and has extensive knowledge about various genres and styles, so is able to accommodate to pretty much anyone. We were able to come up with a good practising schedule and technique strategy, and I feel more and more confident about my musical skills the more I go to her lessons. Thank you Sophia!
I had Sophia as a teacher throughout my sixth form for grades six and seven. She was a really inspiring teacher and gave me a lot of self confidence pushing me to achieve distinction in both exams. Always looked forward to our lessons and I couldn’t have done it without her!!
Sophia’s musical talent and teaching is very impressive - I learnt a lot from her and found her a very patient, attentive and capable teacher. She is very organised and lively and would recommend her as a teacher to all.
Sophia was an excellent and capable teacher whom I learnt a lot from. She taught me a great deal about improvisation and improved my all around ability. She was very attentive and organised with a plan for each lesson but allowed me to divert if there was something I was interested in particular that week.
She is also a very fun and lively teacher and always kept my attention. She would be perfect for both adults and kids.View more recommendations
