Singing at Vocalocity

A Message From Amelia

Singing lessons and vocal ensembles at Vocalocity are all about learning exciting ways to strengthen and express your singing voice in an engaging, happy, supportive and relaxed atmosphere. I welcome singers of all ages and specialise in contemporary music styles such as...

Rock, Pop, Jazz, Soul, Rhythm & Blues, Contemporary Musical Theatre and more!

As a teacher, I am committed to ensuring I guide you to sing using techniques that are as efficient as they are vocally healthy. It's my hope that you leave the studio with a smile on your face, saying "that was FUN!".

"Singing is such a joyful and personal form of expression. At Vocalocity, we celebrate that every voice is unique. Like fingerprints, no two voices on this earth are the same." - Amelia Nell

Individuality. Creativity. Passion.

Performance Opportunities

Vocalocity has become known for its' flair for putting on sparkling events in the form of small intimate singing soirées and large Showcase Concerts. Performances have taken place both in-house and in beautiful external venues such as the Ballroom at the Carrington Hotel in Katoomba, in the Auditorium at the Orange Regional Conservatorium. Also, a Vocalocity event is not complete without our signature After Parties with celebratory food and drinks galore (and champagne and canapés for the adults!).

All Vocalocity singers are welcome to participate in regular performances dotted throughout the year. Our unique approach of conducting small masterclasses in the lead-up to a performance means that singers have the opportunity to workshop their pieces in a supportive environment along with other singers who are in the same boat.

Other performance opportunities include Eisteddfods, performances in charity concerts and invitations to perform at community events.
