Iris Ferwerda Music School

Iris Ferwerda is the best singing teacher for my 8-year old daughter M. Sometimes M is defeated in her learning and Iris always manages to turn it around and positively re-ignites M’s love for singing. She is strict when it comes to technical work and keeping a good posture. She doesn’t miss any tiny and important details in M’s singing (even via Zoom). With an amazing voice, she inspires M to always do her best and reach for the star. M idolises her beautiful teacher.

Iris is an incredible teacher. She is extremely professional and organised, always well prepared and on time. Her musicianship is astounding, as she has a vast knowledge from the various other instruments she plays as well as voice. She cares for her students, always greeting them with a warm smile, and an encouraging nature. She has evidently prepared my daughter for classical voice VCE exams exquisitely, whilst pushing her to become more sophisticated in her classical technique. Iris goes out of her way to even send learning materials outside of her working hours. We vastly appreciate her teachings, and everything she does for her students.nn.

Iris is very professional, enthusiastic and talented vocalist and teacher. I can't recommend her highly enough. I am always looking for every opportunity to work with her.

Iris has been amazing in guiding grace through U3/4 VCE music performance. Iris was extremely organised and often came with prepared notes and pieces to lessons for Grace. Grace has improved significantly in the last year with Iris particularly helping her with her technique; specifically use of vibrato, mixed voice, and transitioning from chest to head voice.nIris is great teacher, as she gives plenty of constructive feedback and Grace has certainly grown in confidence. Grace has become a lot more comfortable performing and acting under Iris’ tutelage which she says was incredibly useful in the exam.
