Sabrina Findlay - Reading, Berkshire

Born and raised in Singapore till the age of 17, Sabrina has been performing since the age of 4. Her first taste of live singing was a performance in primary school when she was just 10. All through her education, Sabrina involved herself in drama, musical theatre, sang and played the piano in a jazz band during her A level years. She graduated with A levels in English, Music, Theatre and Law. She started performing acoustic sets in Oxford and Reading at 19, and has done live acoustic sets with audiences that include Sir Richard Branson and Natalie Imbruglia. Since then, she has been active around the live music scene in Reading and London.

Her music influences range from the early Motown roots, Sinatra, Bon Jovi (thanks to her mum), all the way to the new - Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera, Foo Fighters… you name it, she’s a fan.

‘There’s so many types of music out there, singing has become so creative now’.

Her approach to teaching is one of patience and tenacity.

Each student will be guided and taught something they want to learn with their own twist. Sabrina’s aim is to encourage her students to be fearless with their approach to singing. She has a passion for music and hopes to pass this on to her students.

 Testimonials

I was looking for a singing teacher to give my 11year old daughter Clarea bit of confidence, because she loves drama but was not happy to join in anything involving singing. Never having had anything to do with singing before I expected lots of scales etc.so I was surprised when Clare came home from her first lesson with the beginnings of a recording of herself singing one of her favourite songs, a file with homework, exercises and anatomical diagrams There's a lot more to it than I imagined and Sabrina certainly knows her stuff. Above all though Sabrina gets the best from Clare, gives her confidence but also keeps her very relaxed and happy. Clare says Sabrina's lessons are "great fun and cool".
