Singing & theory lessons online/SE LONDON for children, beginners and music lovers of all ages; delivered by classically trained soprano.

From 39.84 Fr /h

Whether you want to sing for fun, be coached through the ABRSM graded singing exams, or brush up your understanding of music through theory lessons, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Singing Ethos:
My belief is that everyone can learn to sing when taught properly and holistically and can experience the joy of discovering the unique qualities of their individual voice. This is a joy which I share with my students and why I find teaching so rewarding. My experience is predominantly (but not exclusively) with children and I love to watch as their love for their voice grows.

What you can expect:
I believe it is important to teach with an emphasis on technique and vocal health, so from the first few lessons students learn about the body and the way the voice works. I address this through exercises and breathing techniques as well as songs appropriate to age and stage; (usually based around the appropriate ABRSM Grades). I strive to create a fun, nurturing environment where learning and confidence can be optimised.
I currently study with Sophie Grimmer, a highly respected and accomplished vocal teacher based in London who has performed at venues across Europe and London such as ENO. Therefore everything I teach my own students is informed by the world class tuition I am lucky enough to receive, (but of course adjusted so that it is age appropriate). This ensures that the tuition I give is always current and reflects the ever evolving industry standards for vocal tuition.

I look forward to hearing from you!

About Me

I am currently in my final year of study at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London having previously studied at Chetham’s School of Music in Manchester. I hold a vocal performance diploma making me an Associate of Trinity College London and have been teaching part time for almost four years. Recently I spent six months abroad, firstly studying in Italy learning the Bel Canto method and secondly in Switzerland performing operatically with Berlin Opera Academy.
My training started when I began lessons at the age of nine and as I grew older I recognised the significant and invaluable impact this had on me as a child and why I feel strongly that children deserve to learn music. Through music lessons children can build discipline, sensitivity and confidence. Through properly developing the voice we have the ability to liberate our means for personal expression, story telling and communicating. It also gives us the opportunity to explore our authentic self and celebrate our differences, since there can be no voice quite like yours. Such skills are often overlooked, but teach us plenty about the essence of being human.
My favourite saying is: I don't sing because I am happy, I am happy because I sing.

I am a freelance opera, platform and choral singer (Roles include Tamino [magic flute] Nemorino [l'elisir d'amor] and Don Ottavio [Don Giovanni] alongside many world premiers). I can teach vocal technique, opera and concert repertoire and sight-reading skills for budding choral scholars and choral society members.

If you enjoy singing and want to improve some of your fundamental skills or impress other members of your choral society with your newfound ability and repertoire this course is for you.

I'm happy to teach regularly or one-off lessons, and will teach online during the COVID-19 outbreak.

I am an orchestra performer with more than 15 years of experience. I offer instrumental tutoring both on violin and on viola, as well as music theory lessons.

I currently have a nice group of private students and most of them have decided to continuing their lessons going through skype and zoom in these challenging times.

You'll learn how to play confidently and with enjoyment, supported by a strong technique. The lessons will be held weekly, I'll give you directions on what books to use and when needed provide for learning material.

Music forms a great soundtrack in this journey called life, and as a passionate musician and a versatile music teacher, my aim is to inspire others to develop their talents and appreciate the joy of music.

With over 15 years of experience, I teach singing, guitar, music theory, and music production to students that are eager to learn and broaden their skills. My main goal is to create tailored lesson plans to match the needs and ambitions of every student, as we are all different and most importantly we learn in different ways.

Whether you’re a beginner or you already play and sing and want to refine your skills, I will teach you the basics all the way through to mastering what’s needed to become an accomplished player and musician. I will guide you through the areas that you need to improve while also showing you how to make the most of your talent.

My lessons are customized to your objectives so why not get started the first lesson. This enables us to get to know each other and figure out the next steps in your musical journey. Please get in touch and hope to hear from you soon.

Some students feedback :

« Marc is a great singing teacher. His presence is gentle and his instructions and feedback are precise, specific and simple. As a dancer the connection between the body, energy and the voice are from the beginning nourished. The body and voice get warmed up and released, energy gets flowing, connecting the body to the voice, proceeding to vocal exercises and finally the performance of a song, with personal corrections, suggestions and images for pitch, sound, tone and delivery. I highly recommend. » T.S

« Marc is a superb singing teacher. I felt comfortable even though I was a beginner. nice warm up and going through a song. It was fun and taught me how to sing a song that I wanted to learn, with details and suitable for my voice » Y.M

« Marc is very approachable and I felt very relaxed as a nervous singer. I felt at ease and always looked forward to my classes with him. » R.D

« Marc is a very patient and welcoming singing teacher. He developed my singing skills and techniques in ways that I found interesting and valuable, and personalised lesson content and the repertoir to me. Highly recommend Marc if you want a friendly and hard working singing teacher. » N.C

« Marc is an amazing vocal coach. Throughout our lessons I have learnt techniques to improve my voice control and projection. I loved working with him, I liked his professionalism and patience. » S.H

« The singing lessons are great for all levels as Marc has experience as a singer. What really helps is that he has a strong knowledge on how other elements other than the voice can affect one's singing, for example keeping the body relaxed and reducing tension. I've learned some great techniques to help me with relaxing while singing which is great for me personally as I have anxiety and get quite nervous when performing.
Marc creates a safe homely environment and has a great warm personality so it makes it that much more easier and enjoyable when attending the lessons. »
B.S

« Marc has given me some great lessons in which I feel have helped me improve my vocals a lot. He's given me some really useful tips in how to have a good technique, as well as working with me on reaching my unique goals. »

New to the bass, or maybe experienced in the ways of the pocket? Either way, I can make you better!

I'm a jazz student at Trinity Laban Conservatoire going into my 3rd year- with extensive teaching experience ranging from preschool to pension, I have helped people to ace grades 1-8 and pushed long-time musicians to take fresh strides in understanding the bass.

I can teach the early stages of how to play your first tunes, and help with grade exams if that's the route you choose to take. I'm also equipped to help in passing theory grades.

If you're at a later stage, I can teach slap, double-thumbing, linear and two handed tapping, harmonics and beyond! I'm also very knowledgeable about music tech, recording, effects and gear!

Go on, give me a call!

My name is Luke and I am a 24 year old, multi-award winning guitarist from Greenwich, London.
I am an experienced and enthusiastic teacher and am adept at all varieties of guitar playing, including, classical, acoustic, electric and bass.

Regarding my previous experience in tutoring, I have given 1000's of hours of guitar tuition both privately and in school settings. These experiences have given me a keen sense of how to motivate students and offer them concise and useful advice. I have worked at many excellent institutions in the past, including Streatham and Clapham Girls' School (one of the top private girls schools in the country), Orpington Music Studio, The Royal Arsenal School of Music and Canada Blanch Music Academy.

I have found over my experiences of being taught and then eventually teaching that the best method for getting the most out of a student is to listen. If the tutor is acutely aware of where their student needs help and where they are already confident, they can tailor classes carefully to make the best use of the time allowed and to get the maximum potential out of them. This philosophy leads to classes being student-oriented, in that the student leads the tuition. The tutor acts as a supportive crutch, first working through problems together, then allowing them to explore it themselves with the tutor to lean back on.

In my first years of training, like many others, I completed grades. Because of this I have a very good knowledge of what it takes to move along this system. However, the grade system should not be seen as the only way to learn an instrument. The same achievement can be gained through simple discussion between student and teacher and the correct prescription of pieces and studies to work on. I am more than happy to walk down whatever avenue they wish to explore.

I would love to hear from you in the future. Thank you.

Learn how to draw out the best qualities of your voice through good breathing techniques, support, and intonation. Learn how to grasp melody and rhythm using the Vocal Insight Method which encompasses learning about how the voice works, and provides you with the tools to free your natural voice with an embodied and resonant sound. Learn how to overcome vocal tone issues and gain confidence in using your singing voice to perform!

As a professional performer and sole trader of private voice practice, Vocal Insight, I have gained a wealth of experience in one-on-one and small-group vocal coaching and live performance. As a voice practitioner and emerging voice pedagogue, I would now like to utilise my skills and experience to benefit the learning process, experience, and development of aspiring voice novices. My practice is based on one-on-one sessions, which incorporate bodywork, breathing exercises, and voice work. The exercises also focus on vocal health and well-being as well as efficient singing techniques which adhere to a holistic teaching approach. The piano is used as an instrumental aid during vocal exercises and to also support and enhance the aural and vocal training experience for the student/client.

I am a classically trained pianist with a Bachelor’s degree in Classical Piano and a Master’s degree in Musical Directing, bringing over a decade of experience to both performance and teaching.

With more than 12 years of experience working with adults and children, including those with special needs and learning differences, I have developed a teaching style that is both patient and structured. I believe that a strong foundation in technique opens the door for true musical expression, allowing every student—no matter their age or ability—to discover the joy of making music.

I am well-versed with the different examination boards such as ABRSM/Trinity/Rockschool

Whether I am preparing a student for exams, guiding beginners through their first scales, or encouraging creativity through performance, my goal is always to foster confidence, discipline, and artistry at the piano.
