HappySounds Music

HappySounds is based on the Suffolk/Essex border and is run by professional performer and voice coach Nettie Osman.

Nettie has more than 40 years’ experience in the music industry, including touring and recording, session work and musical theatre, she writes her own songs and records her music on a regular basis. Having also worked as a training manager in the corporate world, it was a natural progression for her to train as a voice coach. Nettie runs two Community Choirs that perform together for charity, and still performs herself from time to time.

Since 2008 Nettie has regularly updated her knowledge by attending courses from top vocal practitioners including Vocal Process, holds certificates in the Estill Method, and has gained many CPD points in recent years. She started the HappySounds Community Choir in October 2018, after being approached by some very lovely people with breathing difficulties, to help them with some exercises. Soon, around 25 people were attending weekly, and when asked the question “do you want to be a proper choir as well as being a therapy group” the answer was a resounding “yes please”.

The rest is history – despite difficulties caused by the pandemic, the combined choir now boasts around 90 members and is going from strength to strength.
