Passionate about FulfillingPotential

 

Vocal Performance Academy is passionate about,

and committed to, ensuring that each individual student

fulfils their own potential. 

This in part stems from the experience of the founder and Creative Director – Catherine Françoise – who has had a successful professional career as a singer on stage & in concert, but was completely missed & ignored at school! 

At school she failed to get into the choir, or to be selected to do music and generally had a miserable musical school life!  But…

…After school, Catherine was awarded a place at one of London’s leading Music Academies – Trinity College of Music.  She went on to win many awards & prizes whist at college, also being engaged as a soloist in concerts throughout the UK whilst still studying at College. 

On graduating she immediately secured a West End Theatre Contract in Irving Berlin’s ‘Call Me Madam’ after only 2 auditions & later secured roles in numerous shows including The Phantom of the Opera, H.M.S.Pinafore & The Sound of Music (amongst many others)!  Alongside her Music Theatre, Catherine has a career spanning 20 years in  Opera, Oratorio & Concert throughout the UK and Europe.  She has also taught at several of the UK’s most prestigious performance academies for the past 14 years (see about us for full details)

 

Our school and early life experience can sometimes, wrongly, make us think we ‘can’t sing’. 

Catherine is delighted to open up the wonderful possibility of

Vocal Excellence for All ~ whether young or old! ~

with Vocal Performance Academy!
