Testimonials
Chris has been coaching my son for a couple of months now. During this time, his confidence has increased 100%. He has enjoyed the lessons and always looks forward to going. Chris has a unique method of teaching, making it fun and yet informative. I would recommend Chris to anyone wanting to expand their singing technique & knowledge of music.
‘As a very talented tenor, Chris ‘can do’ as well as teach. My daughter, now studying for her DipABRSM, has been having lessons with Chris since September 2020. Lessons are both in-person and online during the pandemic. Chris has a good understanding of the technical side of singing and delivers flexible lessons, tailored to his students’ needs. His teaching style is challenging, sensitive and enjoyable. Chris is very supportive of his students and exhibits a great deal of pride in their achievements. I highly recommend Chris as a vocal coach.’
