Meet JR Vox
Live Your Dream
Welcome
Hello!
My name is Jane Ryall and I am an experienced singing coach, vocalist and published songwriter living in Sevenoaks.
Our unique singing and songwriting parties and workshops are specially designed for children aged 7-12 years and I love the inspiration I get from working with them!
Our parties are developed to inspire, build performance skills and are a truly unique and memorable choice for birthdays and special occasions.
** Children's singing parties Sevenoaks **
Singing parties are so exciting as often they really ignite a deeper understanding of how to really communicate a song to the listener.
We learn 'star singing essentials' as we warm up and then sing the birthday girl or boy's favourite musical theatre, pop or Disney song.
- We warm up our voices.
- harness our breath energy.
- song study (what is this song about?)
- perform a song using expression and dynamics.
- gain confidence performing in front of others in a positive, encouraging environment.
- learn to use microphone technique.
**Testimonials**

We start our song diary in our notebooks and have a reminder as to how to approach our songs with our star singing essentials sheet!
**Children's songwriting parties Sevenoaks**
Song writing is such a great way to process feelings and build self-esteem from creating our own songs.
- we warm up our voices.
- harness our breath energy.
- we write our song from scratch, start with a seed idea, water it with questions, and grow a tree of ideas!
- we collaborate throughout the process and create our song.
- we perform our song!
- use mic technique.
** Testimonials **

About Me
My passion is particularly vocal technique for contemporary music, I studied soul,jazz,gospel vocals at Goldsmiths University and have had experience developing artists/singers as a writer and I am happy to explore and improve your approach to songs, whether your goals are serious or just for fun. I love to do workshops for children and adults as I find they are a great introduction both for me and for those thinking of having private lessons.
Aside from singing and teaching, I am a songwriter. Working in a song writing team I have had songs published with Sony and one song on a platinum selling album for an Xfactor artist, another 'Connected' received an award from the New York based John Lennon writing competition judged by Fergie and Black Eyed Peas (amongst others), and another was released by a dance label within Ministry of Sound with me as the
artist.
I have studied vocal anatomy with BAST and am fascinated by different pedagogies and would like to think I embrace them all but select the best bits! I am constantly learning from other teachers and students.
Each teacher is different so I really recommend finding the right 'match' for you or your child. I like to think of us as a team working together rather than the teacher student dynamic. I highly recommend trying more than one, as my first teacher was very good but we sang aria's and the Classical technique had no bearing on the contemporary repertoire I was singing.
I have experience in contemporary, soul, jazz, rnb and blues genres currently singing in the acclaimed Mike King Collective, one of the UK's premier contemporary vocal groups whose captivating performances combine soulful vocals with rich jazz harmonies. Mike's arrangements are amazing, it's such a pleasure to sing in MKC.
MKC has recorded for BBC, performed live on Channel 4,sold out Edinburgh fringe and worked with some of the industries biggest names including Mark Ronson, Florence and the Machine,Lily Allen and Grammy world music artist Angelique Kidjo.
