About.
Ella Veitch
Kia Ora! I’m Ella, and with 10 years of full time vocal training, I am beyond excited to share my knowledge with our new generation of singers.
My biggest goal for every lesson is that each student leaves feeling inspired and excited to sing and make music. Not only will you learn healthy vocal technique, you will also learn about musicality and how to discover your own storytelling skills to unlock your full vocal potential. Along with studying a Bachelor of Music and Performing Arts (Theatre), I am also the 2023 Waikato Young Singer recipient, and a Director for the National Youth Theatre Company, and Bold Theatre. Previous performance credits include; Casey (First Date), Hedda Hopper (Chaplin, Deller Productions), Woman 2 (Songs for a New World), Marty Maraschino (Grease), Kitty (The Drowsy Chaperone).
I am incredibly passionate about the science of the voice, and how we can use our muscles to achieve any sound we desire. My teaching and personal performances are heavily influenced by the Estill Voice Technique.
I believe that everybody can sing, and I want to be the person that shows you the way. Singing is so much more than ‘hitting the notes’. Its about passion, and journey, and fun!

Caitlin Morris (Voice)
My name is Caitlin and I graduated from a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Theatre Studies from the University of Waikato in 2023.
I've been lucky to be part of shows and concerts such as Hairspray (Hamilton Musical Theatre) and a few of the Hamilton Operatic Society ‘Downton’ nights. Currently I am also in Be More Chill with Bold Theatre and Firebringer with Wing Valley Productions!
I've also had experience in teaching musical theatre as I am currently a Tutor in the Stagecraft program at Riverlea Theatre and I really hope to help nurture young voices just like myself once upon a time. Growing up, vocal lessons were an amazing way of bringing me out of my shell and helping me find a way to express myself and what I loved doing

Honor Wilson - Parent
”Kyra has been getting lessons from Ella this year, but we had already met her and been involved in the National Youth Theatre with her in 2023.
I cannot speak more highly of Ella, she is everything you want in a music teacher, her knowledge and understanding of the voice and how to get the best out of her students is phenomenal, she is organised and ready with new challenges each week.
The greatest part as a parent, is how excited Kyra is coming out after a lesson, Ella encourages her to be the best she can and gives her the confidence to aim for higher notes or different sounds to improve the overall performance, Ella is an amazingly positive role model, I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to either learn to sing, or looking to improve their singing.”
