My name is Victoria Bourne. I’m a professional singer and teacher based in Bristol UK. I am musically educated to Masters level at the University of Bristol and a qualified teacher who completed and passed a two year post graduate teaching qualification in higher education from Kings College London. (Post Graduate Certificate in Academic Practice) as well as holding with distinction the Associate of Trinity College London (ATCL). I am a member of the Musician’s Union and Association of Teachers of Singing and have completed the NSPCC Child Protection Course.

I have 25 years of vocal teaching experience in theatres, music shops, universities, schools in community based workshops (DBS checked) and privately. I am comfortable teaching a wide variety of musical styles (including jazz, blues, music theatre, classical, pop, flamenco, rock and much more) and am also happy to teach the theory of music. 

As a vocalist and composer I have studied with leading contemporary sopranos Rosemary Hardy, Jo Morton and Sarah Walker as well studying with the jazz singer Carol Grimes in London. I have performed as a soloist with the New Music Ensemble, performed my own electronic compositions at BBC Radio 4‘s More Than Words Festival and on BBC Radio Bristol. My electroacoustic composition ‘If you hear me here’ and installation ‘The Warden’s Survey’ were featured at Bristol’s Elektrostatic Festival at Colston Hall. I was a member of Quadelectronic in Leicester and I also organised and performed in the  concert series 2012 in Bristol.
