Rosie has been teaching and performing professionally for the last ten years. Rosie trained with the Vocal & Operatic Department at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire (First Class BMus Hons) and in Musical Theatre Performance at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts (PGDip, MA). Through training in these contrasting styles, Rosie became fascinated in how the voice worked and started studying vocal anatomy and physiology. Having tried yoga on and off, Rosie deepened her practice in 2014 and realised how much better her voice felt after each class. Not only did her body feel more free, but a different mindset and awareness of the breath and the body made such a difference to her singing. This led Rosie to become a Certified 500hr Yoga Teacher and start to focus on the body-voice connection. Through continued teaching, training and research, Rosie leads group workshops and lessons helping singers to really find and free their voice.

Many well know artists such as Billie Eilish, Lorde and Kanye West are synesthetes.
