Dr. Kelly Pecina

Young Voice Expert

Hi, my name is Kelly and welcome to Full Voice Studio. I’m a singing voice expert specialising in the development of young female voices aged 8 to 25 years. I have a PhD in vocal pedagogy and have over 24 years’ experience teaching at some of Sydney’s most prestigious girls’ schools including Abbotsleigh, Ascham, Meriden, McDonald College, and Wenona.

In addition to my private teaching, I also lecture at Western Sydney University in the School of Education. I have enrolled over 200 students in AMEB singing examinations (Distinction average) and I’m highly experienced at preparing students for HSC examinations, with six of my students receiving ENCORE nominations.

As one of Australia’s leading young voice experts, I am regularly invited to present at conferences and workshops both locally and internationally.

Teaching young voices to sing is very different to teaching an adults voice. To start, the young female voice continues to grow and develop until around the age of 15, with the biggest changes occurring between the ages of 12 to 14. Secondly, young girls often become more self-conscious and anxious during this age.

With this front of mind, I take a holistic approach to teaching young voices. Not only do I ensure students are given expert singing instruction that is tailored to their vocal phase and goals, I strive create a safe and supportive space that allows them to explore their voice and confidence without fear of judgement.

Contact Kelly today to book an individual or group lesson. Lessons start at $65 per 30 minutes.

“Kelly was a wonderful singing teacher during the time I learnt from her. She was kind, patient, always positive and encouraging. She took the time to get to know me, learn about what kind of music I wished to sing. I walked out of every lesson feeling happy!”

“Our daughter has learned singing with Dr Kelly Pecina at Full Voice Studio in Pymble for the past seven years. From the age of 10 Kelly has helped shape our daughter as a singing performer, her voice development and love of singing. I can't thank Kelly enough for being in our daughters life, she has been a major part in compassionately guiding our daughter through teenage'hood, and continues to nurture her love of singing.”
