I am a classically trained singer from the Royal Academy of Music in London. I primarily work as a performer in opera and I very much enjoy teaching. I can help you with vocal technique, improving your breathing, interpretation, and general performance skills.

I can definitely also help with different genres like pop music, jazz, or gospel. I am looking forward to getting to know you!

In the singing lesson we look at breathing, vocal technique, language, expression and interpretation. I take much pleasure in watching a student grow and facilitating their development and helping them on their own path. The most important thing to me is that they enjoy using their voice and telling a story through music.

I have recently graduated from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance with a Master of Music degree with distinction. Through the developing of my private practice, I am becoming increasingly interested and deeply passionate about teaching singing and singing pedagogy. For me, music – and especially singing – is all about communication, between performer and audience, between composer and performer/audience, between teacher and student; it is about conveying a story and human emotions that people can relate to and that give us a sense of connection and belonging. This requires not only a deep understanding of technical skills, but also a sensitivity to the text and the way it is set into music, both melodically and harmonically.

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!

Tailor-made sessions providing singers of any level with the tools to keep improving their vocal delivery and performances.

A freelance music and dance artist / performer by trade, I've delivered private lessons from my home in East London for the past 9 years, preparing happy students for auditions and exams amongst others.
In my work, I include :

Sound
Voice placement
Breath control
Vocal techniques (mainly pop & experimental, in accordance with student's voice and style)
Range
Body-mind preparation
Rhythmicality
Delivery
Performance
Songwriting (on request)

On top of my practical experience and personal research, I have trained with renowned teachers and vocal coaches such as Line Hilton (BAST), Mark De Lisser, Laurent Versini, Andrea Ainsworth...
With extensive experience as a busker, singer-songwriter and function singer as well as having sung with choirs such as London Contemporary Voices, ACM Gospel Choir, Some Voices, TGGG, Singology etc, my main singing styles are pop, soul, gospel and reggae.
I also use my background in movement and somatics to help prepare the body for the best singing performances.

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. »

I am here to teach singing skills to younger children, in the lessons I can teach them how to warm up and sing songs that vary in ability as they get better. I have had experiance working either younger children in a different setting.
I feel its important for children to learn this as not only will it boost their confidence, it will give them something fun to look foward to and will be a good skill they may want to develop further as they grow up.

Making Music is one of the most rewarding activities, from making up your own tune to singing your favorite pop song. I would love to share how music can have a positive effect on your day-to-day life no matter your age.

My Name is Kristian, and I am a Cellist and Singer (Tenor). I have played and sung professionally for a few years now, at the age of 22. I have experience playing in orchestras and singing in operas and concerts.

In our Theory classes, I will be able to assist anyone with problems regarding theory exams. Theory can be challenging but worth it once understood!

Singing classes will be tailored to make sure you feel confident and comfortable singing! We can cover all genres and I will share my experience in how to warm up appropriately in order to be on top form.
