Ricardo Panela, clássico e contemporâneo *Certificado* Professor de canto em Wimbledon e Londres (com QTS)

I started singing lessons with Ricardo 15 months ago and have found him to be such a supportive and knowledgeable teacher. As a beginner student he instantly put me at ease and has taught me so much already – all the time being so incredibly patient and encouraging.

Ricardo sees what you’re capable of and teaches you the skills you need to get there. It’s really rewarding to see how much my voice has improved since I first began working with him and the pieces I’m now able to sing. I really enjoy my lessons with Ricardo and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a singing teacher.

Ricardo became my regular singing teacher after trying a few others before. He is top rate: really knows music and true singing technique and a very attentive listener. Best of all is that you can tell that he enjoys the toil of teaching and problem solving.

After spending some time away from singing following University, I've greatly enjoyed the last few years of working with Ricardo to get my voice back in to shape. Ricardo is one of the few Vocal Coaches I've had the pleasure of working with where I have been actively challenged each lesson - not ever being allowed to fall back on bad habits because it "sounds fine to me".

Friendly and enthusiastic - I'd recommend Ricardo to anyone looking to actively improve their voice, rather than merely staying stuck with what they know.

I was referred to Ricardo after I became dissatisfied with my previous teacher. I now have been taking lessons from Ricardo for around 2 years, and I am very happy I made the switch. He is rigorous in teaching good technique, emphasizing breath control and vowel formation. At the same time, he is patient and encouraging. As Ricardo is a professional singer facing the challenges of vocal performance on a daily basis, his advice to me is highly credible and helpful, and he is able to suggest good repertoire suited for my voice and stage of training.

Ricardo is a great builder of voices, perfect for people who want to develop a reliable vocal technique in an Italianate aesthetic. I thouroughly recommend him.
