Who are we
ChoirBLAST has been created in collaboration with A Touch of Musicality music school. Find out more here...
We opened our music studio at Soly's Mill in Godalming in September 2018, and have been providing lessons ever since! Our studio has three teaching rooms, where our amazing teachers offer music lessons for Singing, Piano, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Ukulele, Music Theory, Songwriting, Composition and more!
​
The definition of Musicality is a natural talent for music - it's one of the best compliments that a musician can receive. At A Touch of Musicality, we want to take that talent and nurture it to help our students improve as musicians. Our studio's acronym is 'ATOM' - the smallest particle that can exist. At A Touch Of Musicality, we want to take that 'ATOM' of Musicality and allow it to grow in every one of our students, no matter their age or ability. We tailor our lessons to each individual to give our students the best musical experience and help them achieve their goals.

Phoebe is the Director of A Touch Of Musicality and teaches Vocals, Piano, Songwriting and Music Theory. She also founded leads and writes all the arrangements for our choirs. ​
​
Phoebe started singing at a very young age, and music has always been a massive part of her life. She got her first taste of real singing when she moved to Singapore as a young girl and her music teacher told her she was really good at it. She went on to perform all over the country in bands and as a solo artist. Musical theatre was always a big influence in her life - performing in local amateur dramatic societies and school plays, but it soon became clear that Jazz music was her main passion. She went on to Goldsmiths University, where she graduated with a First Class Honours Degree before meeting her husband Matt in a band, and their love of music and teaching grew and grew. Teaching is Phoebe's true passion, she puts everything into it, and loves to see her student's progression. In her spare time, you can find her running the streets of Godalming and helping and fundraising for local charities.

Chiara is a University of Surrey student undertaking a degree in International Hospitality & Tourism Management. She has developed a passion for the intersection of tourism and sustainability.
Her passion and experience lend her hand as sustainability coordinator to ensuring ChoirBLAST is as environmentally friendly and socially responsible as possible.
​
Chiara’s life has always been infused with music, with a loud and proud musical family, endless instrumental lessons and choral performances as a child, to now performing in the Guildford and Farncombe Jazz Choirs.
Aside from music, her passions lie in reading and travelling; she’s often off on an adventure - solo, with friends, family, or her partner Tyler - and seeing how the world can broaden her horizons and, of course, taking endless pictures!
