Jack Bowtell MA Opera Performance, BMus Hons

Welcome to my teaching page! My name is Jack Bowtell, an operatic baritone and singing teacher based in Cardiff, offering singing lessons to students of all ages and abilities from my Cardiff studio. In addition to teaching in Cardiff, I am also a visiting vocal tutor at Christ College Brecon and Charlotte May Academy in Pontypool.

 

SINGING IS A JOURNEY

I have always believed singing to be a journey. The most important thing for any singer, is that you are able to enjoy your own journey, and trust the process of learning. Singing lessons, allow us to discover our own voices, and realise that we have something important to say. Regardless of age, ability or experience, I really believe everybody has a unique voice and something exciting to share and hopefully through our lessons, we’ll discover what that is together.

PAVING THE WAY TO VOCAL SUCCESS

I pride myself on being able to tailor every lesson to suit the individual needs and requirements of the pupil. Singing is a very personal journey and can sometimes seem quite daunting for some, however through my warm demeanour and accessible teaching style - I feel I’m able to quickly put students at ease. I teach everyone from complete beginners who want to sing for the pure joy of it, to seasoned professionals wanting to hone their craft for professional engagements. Whatever the genre, I believe a good basic technique is essential for paving the way to vocal success.

sHARING EVENTS

A safe and supportive platform for singers to showcase their efforts in a relaxed setting

 

IT’S GOOD TO SHARE

Sharing Events were introduced in 2021 to give opportunity to those students who I believe would benefit from a relaxed platform to perform pieces they have been working on, to a invited audience of family and friends. The day consists of masterclasses throughout the day, with industry professionals and culminates in a informal concert in the evening. It's always proves to be a wonderful day of music making, in a fantastically supportive environment, so if you or someone you know would like to take part in our next event, please get in touch.

 
I never thought I would be able to sing in front of other people, but the Sharing Events have helped me hugely.
