Singing
Lessons
Your first singing lesson is always special to us as we discuss your personal musical goals, stylistic preferences, assess your vocal abilities and agree on a plan to turn your musical dreams into reality.
Overview
In your first lesson, your teacher will assess the range and timbre of your voice and engage you in a number of breathing and vocal exercises designed to maximise your tone, expand your range and improve projection and power
Being able to sing your favourite songs is, of course, our priority and your teacher will get started straight away, choosing the right key for your voice and accompanying you on piano. We are also heading for singing live on stage so your teacher will show you good microphone techniques. Your voice is an instrument like any other so your teacher will also show you how to read proper musical notation including rhythms, melodies, and arrangements.
Private Lessons
Private weekly lessons will introduce all of the essential skills in our proven teaching syllabus guiding you to success in your singing.

One to One Lessons
