Toroa Studio Members: Flying in to community and coaching
Toroa members are confident singers who want a space to connect with a singing community, perform for fun, and get some ‘top up’ or targeted coaching on specific songs. You can choose from a selection of performance/coaching packages across the year, based around the studio’s themed Karaoke/Concert Parties. We can choose the best option for your goals at your trial lesson.
In a nutshell:
- Performance-focused coaching
- Experienced singers
- Up to four themed Karaoke/Performance Parties a year
- Come to one, several or all
- Choose your own adventure coaching packages
- Coaching from 90€
“It gives me permission to sing, and to try to focus on ONE song at a time.”
Toroa, or albatross are native birds to NZ. They are known for their huge wingspan, allowing them to fly thousands of kilometres away from their breeding grounds to feed. Graceful and majestic, these birds have one of the longest lifespans among bird species. They can fly away from land for long periods of time, and only return for nesting during the breeding season.
Choose your own adventure!
How Toroa works:
1. If you’ve never worked with Georgia before, start with a Trial lesson. We’ll be able to make sure this offer is right for you, and that we’re a good fit to work together.
2. Book your Karaoke Party ticket(s). This will reserve your spot (limited places for each party, first come first serve!)
3. Book the coaching package of your choice. To perform, you must purchase at least one coaching session per Karaoke party. The coaching sessions will take place in the month before each party. (Check below that our schedules align!)
“The Karaoke Party was fun, sweet, young. I loved being exposed to new songs AND some of the funny commentary (supportive atmosphere, with those who "get" it)."
Start here: Karaoke Parties
Hone your performance skills in a really chill online environment and get some performance dates on your calendar.

“The Karaoke Party reminded me that singing is supposed to be fun! I really enjoyed watching everyone else singing along on mute. Plus, I’m in the comfort of my own home! The convenience!”
2024 Karaoke Parties will take place on Thursdays, 19:30-21:00 Paris Time (18:30-20:00 UK), on the following dates:

- 🏰🐭 Disney: 3 October Ready to wish upon a star? The Disney Party (and Pixar/Dreamworks too) is here to remind us of the magic and bring our childhood dreams to life.

PLEASE NOTE: To perform, you must also purchase at least one coaching session for each Party you wish to perform at. Coaching sessions will take place in the month prior to the the Karaoke Party. If you do not purchase a coaching package, you will only attend the party as a guest, not a performer.
