For all your vocal needs. Singing for Health is a passion. It is therapeutic, healing & uplifting.

It’s guaranteed you will leave a session with Sarah Jay feeling confident, uplifted, as you learn to “breathe better, feel better and sing better”.

Testimonials from Sarah Jay's Singing For Health clients

My son, D, has been having weekly music sessions with Sarah Jay for 3 years.  As an adult who has autism the greatest endorsement D can give is that, each week, he is always very happy and motivated to go to his session.  Sarah Jay knows how to use music to reach D – how to stimulate him so that he is engaged and learning all the time and how to calm him so that he can process what he is experiencing –  all in just the right measure.

Sarah Jay often uses the medium of voice which M enjoys greatly.  In addition it has a therapeutic effect – addressing some of his difficulties around communication (eg intonation/expression/meaning). 

Sarah Jay always incorporates M’s interests into the sessions which promotes  both confidence and enjoyment.
