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.

Learning to sing can have quite an impact on many aspects of your life. Of course, it brings a lot of joy but it can also help with building confidence, help you relax and it’s also known to be beneficial to your health!

In my classes, I want to work on these things and help you become the singer you want to be. My music lessons do not necessarily have the aim to make you “better” but to guide you on your individual music journey. That is why we establish in the first classes what your style and your aspirations are and based on those I tailor a program to meet your needs.

My name is Jonas, I am a professional musician and singer and started my personal music journey over ten years ago. Initially trained from a young age in classical singing, I later moved on to do jazz and contemporary styles and then decided to move to London to study Music Performance and Production at LCCM.

Over the years I came to an important realization. Although music and singing technique is extremely important, the purpose of music is to convey emotion. I feel this is an aspect that is quickly overlooked but makes the difference in being able to make an audience remember you or not. These aspects of the authenticity of voice and performance I focus on in my classes.

It doesn’t matter which age or which singing level you currently are - everyone is welcome in my classes. I truly believe that anyone can sing and that everyone should experience the joy of singing.

Performance coaching covers many areas, from being in a band to public speaking and simply developing confidence in daily life.

I teach guitar and other instruments, singing, songwriting, song arranging, stage presence techniques ( yes it can be learned!) and many more aspects to bring out the best of each individual, tailoring each class to the specific needs and goals of the student.

Whatever you wish to achieve, whether it be learning a new instrument or skill to performing on stage or preparing for auditions, this unique approach to custom designed classes has been successful and it would be my honour to share my knowledge with 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.

Songwriting is an essential skill in the production of any song.
Learn what it takes to write a great song that resonates with people. We will discuss the art of storytelling and discover how you can find your unique voice. Exploring how to create a strong melody and write a compelling lyric.
In this class, you will learn simple techniques on how to get the most out of your lyrics by skillfully matching the phasing and syllables with the notes of your melodies. We will look at the ways in which song structure can give your songs more depth.
I believe everyone can be trained in the art of skilled expression through songwriting.

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.
