Meet Kayla Collingwood...
Kayla Collingwood is a France-based contralto singer, classical music educator, and UX designer originally from New Zealand.
Combining her extensive experience in classical music with her passion for holistic practices, Kayla has developed "Voice/Stagecraft for Wellbeing" lessons and workshops, which use principles from music and theatre for personal growth and wellbeing, alongside “Classical Music Immersion” sessions that offer interactive and guided classical music listening experiences.
She holds a Master of Classical Voice from the University of Auckland and a Graduate Certificate in Theatre Studies from the University of Waikato.
In 2020, Kayla founded Sound Garden: Classical Music Immersion, a platform dedicated to engaging audiences with classical music through both online and in-person formats.
