SINGING LESSONS
Lessons are taught one to one, in person, at my studio in Virginia Water. I do not travel to private homes. Lessons are available on Tuesdays, 10am to 6pm, and Thursdays 10am to 6pm, with some flexibility on request.
I teach children from age 12 onwards. If your child is younger than 12 I can recommend a teacher in the local area.
To book, you can use the online form, or email me on ca-spencer@outlook.com.

While I am classically trained, I do not subscribe to a single vocal 'method'. I believe in an efficient vocal technique, where everything your voice is able to do is at your command. What you can expect from your lesson:
Every vocal lesson starts with a warmup based on posture, breathing and gentle work on the vocal cords. If you are nervous, I will always happily sing with you, and I will never ask you to do something I won't demonstrate first myself. I am equally happy teaching complete beginners, those who have been told they can't or shouldn't sing, or those who have lots of experience and just want to find their way to a more efficient technique.
If there's a particular song you want to sing please let me know in advance of the lesson so I can source the music. If you are new to singing and don't know where to start, have a think about the kind of music you like and what you'd like to be able to sing - this might be pop, music theatre, jazz, even opera. I have a large collection of sheet music and can help guide you towards a suitable starting point.
Can't read music? Not a problem. You don't need to be able to read music to enjoy singing, but if you want to take exams then learning to read the dots and squiggles will be of benefit to you.
CONCESSIONS AVAILABLE UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.
