About Wendy
The story goes that Wendy could sing before she could speak in the lovely lilting dialect of her native Aberdeenshire.
A deep love of the human voice, expressivity and creativity, and their capacity to move and develop people, are common threads throughout her life and work.
Wendy studied music and modern languages at Aberdeen University, and gained a Postgraduate Diploma with Distinction in Education from Edinburgh University.
She trained in voice coaching under Frankie Armstrong and at the Royal Academy of Music in London. Wendy has a wide range of personal and corporate clients, and runs voice workshops. She is a qualified Personal and Professional Development Coach.
A couple of years ago, encouraged by family, colleagues and friends, Wendy decided to focus more on where her heart lay and began performing in public professionally.
She has had a highly successful career in education, both in the UK and France, becoming a head of modern languages. Her department was featured on BBC2 'Newsnight' as a model of good practice, and was commended several times by HM Inspectors of Schools.
She is an Associate Tutor and Specialist Lecturer at Edinburgh University.
Frankie Armstrong, Singer and Voice Teacher'A rare talent. Her vocal flexibility, emotional range and ability to communicate make her unique. Her enthusiasm, mischievous sense of humour and intelligence are infectious. She moves her audience to tears, laughter, shivers and delight.'
