About Rhianydd Beaumont
Rhianydd Beaumont is a very versatile singer. After studying piano to Grade 8, she began to sing and never looked back.
Rhianydd studied at Bretton Hall in Wakefield before joining the national touring production of ‘The Phantom of the Opera.’ After this she went to Berlin, Germany where she joined the cast of Disney’s original production of ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’ (Der Glöckner Von Notre Dame) as a swing, performing 9 roles in German. Rhianydd then joined the UK national touring production of Disney’s ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ where she played Belle.
Rhianydd has also performed with Opera North (West End Production of Carousel), National/European tour of ‘The Sopranos’, Gilbert and Sullivan Opera Company National Tour and in The Thursford Christmas Spectacular. As a soloist Rhianydd’s recent performances have been Handel’s Messiah, Mozart’s Exsultate Jubilate, Bach’s Cantata 147 and Bach’s St John’s Passion.
Rhianydd has studied voice with Yvonne Seymore, Patricia Hamilton, James Morgan, Rachel Nichols and Peter Savage. She is also a qualified primary School teacher gaining a ‘first class honours degree in arts and education.’
Rhianydd has been a singing teacher for over 20 years and considers teaching her students as rewarding as performing itself. She teaches students from 7+ to adult (her oldest student being 78!)
She also takes workshops with groups and individuals, recently taking a group of 500 children for a sign and sing workshop in the Huddersfield Town Hall for the Mrs Sunderland Performing Arts Festival.
Rhianydd also coaches voice at several musical theatre schools locally and also at Huddersfield New College. She has recently worked in Calderdale’s Voice Clinic with the leading ENT and SLT specialists as a vocal consultant.
“The most important thing is that music should be fun, exciting and make us feel wonderful. Singing can increase confidence, help with breath capacity and aid general wellbeing. Some students want to perform, others come purely for enjoyment. This is a happy, safe space to sing, where children and adults can learn at their own pace. At the Beaumont Music Academy, taking good care of your voice is of the upmost importance, making sure you are singing safely, especially for developing voices. There is a saying on our wall which says ‘This is our happy place’ – we all find this to be true.”
“My daughter has been coming to Rhianydd for nearly 10 years now. Rhianydd has seen her through huge changes in her voice and managed them with expertise and patience. As a result, my daughter now has a 2 1/2 octave range and is confident singing in lots of different genres. I can’t thank Rhianydd enough for her care, persistence and support over the years.”
“I started going to Beaumont Music Academy a few years ago as an adult singer. Rhianydd always makes lessons fun and enjoyable. She is such a lovely person and so talented. I’ve now gone from what I thought was an Alto, to a Soprano, even singing in Latin & Italian. I’m not going to give up as I enjoy it so much.”
“My daughter has been having singing lessons with Rhianydd for 7yrs. Evie really enjoys her singing lessons with Rhianydd. Her expert tuition and guidance has seen Evie develop into a mature and confident young singer. Her lessons are full of enthusiasm and encouragement and Evie really looks forward to them every week.”
