What’s their secret?  Clearly, vocal quality doesn’t have to deteriorate with age.

They may change in quality and timbre to reflect a lifetime of experience, but some voices don’t wither and fade: they grow richer and more beautiful with the passing years.

It has been proved over and over that singing is good for our health: it benefits the immune system, combats Alzheimer's, increases wellbeing, it lowers the heart rate and blood pressure.

Poppy Holden uses a lifetime’s knowledge of teaching singers to develop a system for building and strengthening the voice. Having lost her own voice through ill health, and then painstakingly rebuilt it, she is well placed to help others with vocal problems.

Singing is immensely beneficial in terms of general health and happiness, and Poppy sees her students grow in confidence as their voices grow in strength and beauty. She works with older singers who have maintained vocal health and beautiful tone, sharing their wisdom with her students.
