Biography
Jacinta Percy is a singing and music teacher, facilitator and performer. She provides private lessons and group workshops in Melbourne, Australia.
Jacinta’s love affair with the voice, sound and music began as a wee babe, with Richard Clayderman being the only medicine that would lull her to sleep. It was an inevitable journey with a piano-playing songstress for a grandmother and a great-great-aunt, dubbed “Queen of the Irish Song”, in her family lineage.
This calling and her deep love and passion for voice, sound and music have led her over the past fifteen years to perform and work with profound teachers in Australia, Europe, Israel and India. She is crisscrossing genres from Classical to Jazz, Folk to Improvisation, Dhrupad to Carnatic.
At the young age of twenty-four, Jacinta was invited to teach and guide others. She continues to follow this path. She is teaching privately at her music studio based in Northcote and facilitating group workshops in Melbourne, Australia. For all wanting to remember their true voice, sound and nature.
Her knowledge of her voice, her open heart and listening ear, allows her to assist with a gentle grace that enables others to uncover what they are seeking. Her belief that we all need to sing, sing with courage, sing with joy, sing to mama earth. To discover our greatness and shine forth our potential into the world. This belief is what inspires her to share her love and passion too all.
