She is always flexible and supportive, incredible patient and kind. Lisa works completely at her pace &#8211; which has helped build her confidence and enjoyment of learning the guitar. Her calm, encouraging approach has made lessons something Pascale really looks forward to, and we&#8217;re so grateful for the positive experience she&#8217;s provided.&#8221; <strong>Jo Hardy, January 2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I met Lisa in 2023 when she ran a singing for well being workshop as part of an adult learning program for Norfolk County Council. Being a music lover and believer in the benefits of singing, but also painfully shy, I was really pleased to find the course was run by such a warm, encouraging tutor who created a great atmosphere, making everyone feel welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year I decided to invest some time in myself and booked one to one lessons with Lisa.&nbsp; I love my lessons, Lisa has a super ability to make you feel at ease and tailor the lesson to your requirements.&nbsp;She is very knowledgeable and has provided me with all the steps and information I need to progress at my own pace, whilst giving me the confidence to move forward.&nbsp; Communicating with Lisa and booking my lessons has been really easy.&nbsp;Lisa has been open and encouraging to work in any genre that interests me and is inspiring with her suggestions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really recommend Lisa to people of all ages and abilities and look forward to continuing my lessons.&#8221; <strong>Sally Fletcher, November 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Lisa has been teaching our children for 2 years and she is such a delightful person to be with. Because the lesson time is after school and my children are tired, they can be moody and not always willing to participate. But Lisa is patient and encourages them cheerfully. She teaches, not only guitar but also singing, so they enjoy singing with her as well as playing guitar. She is punctual and good with communication. I highly recommend her.&#8221; <strong>Chie, December 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Lisa has been teaching my teenage daughter guitar for 3 years now and she is fantastic. My daughter really enjoys the lessons and has learnt a range of techniques. Lisa is very flexible and chooses the sort of music she enjoys (Olivia Rodrigo, etc). And she helped my daughter get her DofE.&#8221; <strong>Sam Rowbury, September 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>&#8220;Lisa was charismatic and friendly. She pointed out how I could progress and gave me freedom to choose my own songs and adapted her approach to my choices.&#8221;\u00a0<strong>Chloe Thomas 2021<\/strong><br><br>For Fred Luppi\u00a0(7 years old)<br><br>&#8220;Fred immensely enjoys his guitar lessons and the exercises\/songs that Lisa picks and provides for him. Lisa is extremely helpful with additional advice, flexible with dates\/times, and goes at a good pace, enabling Fred to progress really well, especially with his fingerpicking and melodies. Fred has benefitted remarkably from his one-to-one lessons, and very much enjoys learning online in the comfort of his own home.&#8221; <strong>Grace Luppi 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I bought a ukulele during the first lockdown,&nbsp;as I wanted a distraction from my hospital job. Having seen Lisa&#8217;s poster in the neighbourhood, I started Zoom&nbsp;lessons with her. Lisa is such a positive and bright person, and always makes me feel enthusiastic about&nbsp;playing ukulele. She always selects the perfect songs for me to learn, so that I am challenged to grow and improve whilst not overfacing myself. Lisa has been really flexible in making sure the time and lengths of the sessions suit me. I look forward to her humour and encouragement in my lesson each week, and I am steadily improving and enjoying the ukulele.&#8221; <strong>Vicki Aiken&nbsp;2021 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2021 Interview with Vanilla Magazine about my online music lessons <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanilla-magazine.co.uk\/lisa-redford-online-music-lessons\/\">here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lisaredford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Vanilla-Mag-8474775.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"726\" height=\"539\" src=\"https:\/\/lisaredford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Vanilla-Mag-8474775.png\" alt=\"vanilla-mag-8474775\" class=\"wp-image-11847\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lisaredford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Vanilla-Mag-8474775.png 726w, https:\/\/lisaredford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Vanilla-Mag-8474775-300x223.png 300w, https:\/\/lisaredford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Vanilla-Mag-8474775-404x300.png 404w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 726px) 100vw, 726px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cLisa has been an amazing vocal coach to my daughter Breeze. She has been having lessons for over 2 years and worked wonders with Breeze\u2019s confidence, performance, breath control and vocal ability. She\u2019s guided her through difficult songs and different styles while being constantly supportive and encouraging as well as regularly sending exercises and backing tracks. She has provided invaluable guidance and support for when Breeze has had major auditions in London and across the UK and Breeze recently won the Pre Teen Award at the prestigious national Teen Star competition at Birmingham\u2019s NEC. Lisa has also been teaching Breeze guitar and she is already on her way to playing lots of songs. Thank you Lisa.

She is calm, funny, friendly and very talented. My lessons are tailored to me, at my pace, at my level and to suit me. Times of lessons vary to suit me as my work schedule is varied; she is flexible. I thoroughly enjoy the lessons. The music we play is to my taste \u2013 she knows what I do not like! I learn something new every lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever your age, ability or music destination, Lisa is a patient, fun and musically gifted teacher. She is also based near Unthank Road in Norwich, which, for me is great.\u201d<br><strong>Rachel Lunness<\/strong> (age 51)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs others have said, Lisa has a really patient and flexible approach to teaching. We had been meeting regularly at her home for ukulele lessons and then I moved! Now, we have lessons via Facetime and that really works for me. I\u2019ve been able to continue learning without having to leave my sofa! But no, it\u2019s really nice to have the consistency. I like Lisa\u2019s bespoke take on content and she always makes sure to send any lesson material via email, ahead of time. She\u2019s full of ideas and has a great \u2018can do\u2019 attitude. Lessons with Lisa are always really enjoyable!\u201d <strong>Heidi Secker<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">\u201cSince having singing lessons with Lisa, I\u2019ve noticed dramatic changes in my voice, for example I always used to sing from my throat and I\u2019d run out of breath very, very quickly. Lisa has sent me vocal exercises and backing tracks to practise at home, which I find very useful in preparation for the next lesson. It\u2019s a great hobby, and it\u2019s something that I look forward to doing each fortnight, which is quite funny because I actually have a singing phobia, but Lisa\u2019s teaching style puts me at ease. <strong>Ann Marie Harrison<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLisa has really helped me with my vocals and given me so much more confidence with my singing. She has shown me some great vocal techniques which have really improved my singing.\u201d <strong>Kate Yuill<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBefore I started having singing sessions with Lisa, I didn\u2019t feel confident anymore at my ability to sing. Since having the sessions with Lisa, she has helped me to gain my confidence back, she is friendly and approachable. She has shown me how to strengthen my breathing skills and support my core vocal ability and head voice. Sharing her vocal warm ups and techniques to attempt some challenging songs\u2026Lisa is helping me to prepare for a big audition and thanks to Lisa the song I have chosen is broadening my vocal ability to a higher standard, Lisa is being patient and providing me with some really supportive feedback to progress further.\u201d <strong>Rachael Francis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy 10 year old daughter, Saskia, has been having guitar and singing lessons with Lisa. Within weeks of starting she went from not being able to play a thing to singing and playing many of her favourite songs. Since then she has gone from strength to strength. Lisa has been a real inspiration to Saskia. She knows how to connect with children. She\u2019s vibrant and fun but at the same time nurturing and attentive. It\u2019s a real pleasure to hear my daughter perform. Thanks Lisa.\u201d <strong>Kerry Williams<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have been attending vocal lessons with Lisa for about a year now, as a student at Access To Music I was looking for some extra support with my vocals. Lisa is honest, patient and understanding of my vocal needs. I have learnt what my voice is capable of, breathing technique\u2019s and warm up exercise\u2019s. All of these contribute to my new found confidence with regards to my singing. I would highly recommend Lisa for all your vocal needs.\u201d <strong>Karl Moore<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lisaredford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screen-Shot-2023-03-07-at-08.57.42.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"299\" height=\"421\" src=\"https:\/\/lisaredford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screen-Shot-2023-03-07-at-08.57.42.png\" alt=\"screen-shot-2023-03-07-at-08-57-42\" class=\"wp-image-12160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lisaredford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screen-Shot-2023-03-07-at-08.57.42.png 299w, https:\/\/lisaredford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screen-Shot-2023-03-07-at-08.57.42-213x300.png 213w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 299px) 100vw, 299px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lisa Redford \u2013 Vocal Coach, Guitar and Ukulele TutorLearn Now In Person or Remotely Warm, encouraging and supportive, I am a professional vocal coach and guitar\/ukulele tutor.
