MARY HAMMOND - Vocal Coach

Following her training at the Royal Academy of Music in both singing and piano, Mary spent 25 years as a singer with an almost unique range of styles, from opera at Covent Garden to stadium gigs with groups including Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd and Roxy Music.

She has also worked extensively for TV and radio recordings, (film scores, TV series, live broadcasts, BBC Big Band and Top of the Pops) and now television companies and record producers frequently use her as a vocal trouble-shooter and singing consultant. She enjoys using her experience in the pop industry to teach up and coming young bands along a diverse mix of international chart-topping artists. Working as a vocal coach and advisor with the first casts of more than 20 West End shows.

This variety and experience has led to a life-long interest and passion in the research and practice of voice science and vocal techniques, and in 1993 founded the Musical Theatre postgraduate course at the Royal Academy of Music, the first of its kind at a music conservatoire.
