PC: How do you currently divide your time?
AF: Nowadays, we often hear the words ‘work-life balance’. For me, my work is my life; it is part of who I am. I have the privilege of meeting people of all ages, from all walks of life and being part of their musical journey for a period of time.
As a freelance vocal coach, the majority of my week is spent teaching and mentoring vocal students on a one-to-one basis. I am also a specialist tutor in performance at Queens University, Belfast, where I prepare students for assessments and recitals, and I have been a tutor at Ulster College of Music (where I am also Trustee) for over 20 years, working with music theatre and classical singing students. Weekends are for the rehearsals I have as musical director, for various organisations.
