Gillian Parker embarked on her singing journey at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), where she earned a Certificate in Jazz performance before transitioning into the Classical Voice performance stream.
During her time at WAAPA, Gillian showcased her talents in various settings, from performing in a Jazz ensemble to gracing the stage in operas like “The Marriage of Figaro” with the Western Australian Opera Company at His Majesty’s Theatre in Perth WA. Notably, she portrayed the pivotal role of the Mother Superior in WAAPA’s production of “Dialogue of the Carmelites”.
Post-WAAPA, Gillian continued to share her musical gifts at special events before stepping back temporarily to prioritize raising her family. However, in 2010, Gillian reignited her passion for vocal arts, this time focusing on teaching rather than performing. In her quest to equip her students with the tools for excellence, Gillian discovered “The Institute for Vocal Advancement” (IVA).
IVA stands as an institution dedicated to empowering instructors with comprehensive knowledge of vocal techniques aimed at achieving a balanced, consistent sound across all vocal ranges, dynamics, and styles. This method emphasizes seamless transitions and effortless control, allowing singers to express themselves freely without noticeable breaks or shifts in tone.
Under Gillian’s guidance, her students experience rapid improvements in their vocal abilities, including tension release, increased stamina, smoother vocal passages, vibrato development, and enhanced vocal quality across diverse musical genres. Gillian has expanded her endeavors by founding and leading a vibrant community choir, which has flourished under her guidance. This inclusive choir welcomes all without auditions, providing a welcoming space for individuals to explore their love for music and singing while fostering strong community connections. Leveraging her expertise in vocal techniques, Gillian empowers choir members to discover and embrace their unique voices, all while enjoying the sheer pleasure of making music together. Being part of a choir not only brings joy but also enriches the lives of those involved, creating lasting memories and meaningful bonds within the community. Gillian remains committed to her own growth as a teacher, engaging in ongoing training and certification with IVA. Through this journey, she gains deeper insights into her own voice, ensuring that she can lead her students effectively by example. As Gillian aptly puts it, “You can’t take a person where you haven’t been yourself.”
