Trixi Field 

Jazz singer, composer, educator

What people have said.......

"One of the most resourceful teachers in the UK." (Andrew Claxton, Principal of the Oxford School of Music)

"Trixi has a lovely, patient style of teaching which is particularly well suited for the nervous or young student. Even so she is able to encourage students to high achievement, with a strong coaching aspect which is essential for performers. My daughter started jazz piano from scratch and had a Distinction in Grade 2 within 2.5 years! " (Peta, mother of former private jazz piano student, Oxford)

"Trixi has made my initial lessons both challenging and dynamic, but never pushing me out of my depth, and through all of this she has approached it with her great sense of humour and fun."
(Tim, former private student, Aston Clinton)



"Your unflagging enthusiasm and ingenuity have helped me move back into musical thinking. Were I young enough to have another family, I would certainly send them to you."


(Stephen, former private student and workshop participant, Oxford)


"Trixi was recommended to me by a friend and I went to my first lesson in trepidation. I had a serious singing hang-up from my earliest days at primary school, so much so that it brought a cold fear to me whenever Iwas in a situation that required communal singing, even if that would be just at a party singing 'Happy Birthday'.  Trixi was very patient with me and within no time at all I was really looking forward to my weekly lesson and a good old sing. She put me at my ease and was excellent at teaching me about my voice and getting me to use it without fear.  Trixi gave me confidence.  I have since joined a community choir and also a local folk group. I shall miss you Trixi, and will always be so grateful I had the courage to make that first telephone call to you!" (Ruthie, former private voice student, Hemel Hempstead).


"My daughters have been taught piano by Trixi for several years and have loved her lessons.  My older daughter has just passed her Grade 1 exam. She also had singing lessons with Trixi which she thoroughly enjoyed and went onto passing her Grade 1 exam in popular vocals.  Trixi is a lovely lady with a friendly, calming personality which her students love. We were sorry to lose her when she moved away!" (Catherine, mother of two former private students, Watford).


"I was lucky enough to attend one of Trixi's singing workshops, and I still remember it fondly. It was a drop-in format, where people could join and leave, but I stayed till the end - I didn't want it to finish! Trixi is not only a very well-rounded expert in her field - to which she's contributed with her own publications - but she's the most pleasant, humorous, warm, understanding, encouraging teacher you could wish for. Fear evaporates. You forget to feel self-conscious, and give in to enthusiasm and joy instead. Is there a more positive, promising basis than that, to obtain the results you hope for? Trixi's teaching is far from stuffy, notionistic or daunting. She uses materials she's developed herself, her explanations are wonderfully clear and she is sensitive to the wishes and needs of her students. With Trixi you're in safe hands.  Just relax, let her knowledge and experience guide you, her passion infect you and enjoy the learning process!" (Allie, former voice workshop participant, Wales)


"Trixi is unique - a few simple words, but she enhanced my enjoyment of life with her approach, enthusiasm, humour and subject matter knowledge." (Clive, former voice and piano student, Herts).
