"My name is Sarah Curtis and I started singing when being born with the cord around my neck and have never stopped! Throughout my life I have always enjoyed being part of a choir, which started whilst at school, progressed onto being a Choirgirl at our Church, attending two mixed choirs for 13 and 9 years and now brings me to the One Voice Choir with a very patient Grazina Ellis as Musical Director. I recently went to a local church concert and heard the Choir and decided that I would like to go back to singing lessons, approached Grazina, and have now improved my vocal training as a top soprano.

Grazina always listens to her pupils and encourages them with whatever project they may have themselves, and she includes pupils in separate ensembles that may come along as a one-off. The One Voice Choir have taken me under their wing and I look forward to taking part in many concerts with them."

"Singing is pure pleasure and takes me into another part of me – one which is not openly seen. It achieves a personal goal and gives me an avenue to express myself. I could never have developed my voice if it were not for my singing lessons now with Grazina Ellis. My voice has gained strength and technique. Also Grazina is so encouraging and believes in show casing her pupil's talents which is a great confidence booster."

"My name is Mark and I joined a choir in my local area about a year ago. I sing in the tenor section of the choir and have a good voice but, as yet, not perfect. In August 2009 I decided to have singing lessons. Asking around I was given the name Grazina Ellis so I contacted Grazina and started lessons a week later.

I look forward to every lesson and find them enjoyable. Grazina is an excellent singing teacher and plays the piano beautifully. She has taught me so much including various breathing techniques to apply when singing. At the moment Grazina is concentrating on me producing a better sound as well as pronounciation. I feel that the full potential of my voice is being realised more in each lesson. My singing range has increased and with confidence, I can now reach the high notes that I couldn't before.

I have decided to continue with my lessons because of the benefit I feel week on week. My improved contribution to the choir has been notable and I find myself better prepared for our performances. Grazina also has a beautiful singing voice."

"I started having singing lessons with Grazina in September 2007. At the beginning I had no idea how to sing correctly and I was very shy with my voice, but after a few months of training, I began to understand the technical requirements needed for singing. My confidence grew a lot in this short space of time and confidence is a big part of singing. Before singing with Grazina I did a fair bit of dance and decided that I wanted to peruse a career in Musical Theatre, Grazina was extremely helpful with getting my audition songs up to scratch and standard. The training she gave me was beneficial because she helped me gain a place into a top Musical Theatre College in London. Having singing lessons with Grazina has given me confidence to do something I didn’t think I could and her passion for singing has been passed onto me, I will continue to see Grazina even when I am not at College."

"Through my singing lessons with Grazina I have become a more confident and accurate singer, In addition to developing a stronger understanding of music theory. Her thorough but gentle approach, allowed me to gain a Grade 5 Singing and Intermediate Music Performance certificate from the Royal Schools Of Music. She is always keen for her students to perform and be admired for their talent. She possesses an energetic, bright personality and as a result, lessons are simulating and fun."
