What happens in a lesson
- 01
Step 1: Warm up
A few minutes of easy breathing and gentle sounds, and then a song the student already knows.
- 02
Step 2: Work on one song
The teacher picks one thing to build: a phrase, a breath or a part to hold against another voice.
- 03
Step 3: Plan the week
The lesson ends with the song sung through and a short plan for practice at home.

Before you buy anything
A voice needs no instrument, and a lesson needs very little. Ask your teacher before you buy a keyboard, a tuner or a book of songs.
Sing a little, often. Short practice most days helps more than one long session on the weekend, and a quiet corner with a glass of water is enough to begin.
Not sure where to start?
A placement visit is the way to find out. A teacher listens, you talk, and we match you.
