Sing The Easy Way
with Matt Thompson

"I've had a few one-to-one lessons with Matt, and highly recommend him. I've come to understand more about my voice through these lessons than I have with other teachers. He quickly puts you at ease, and if necessary will sing along with you to help with that, and yet he can still pick up on exactly what's going on with your voice. He works at improving all aspects of your singing: strength, range, tone, vibrato, style, performance… He is extremely perceptive in identifying the cause of any problems with the way you sing, not just what's going on with your vocal cords, but the way you shape your mouth or position the palate, how you control your breath, or simply the conviction you give to the words, amongst others. He makes you work hard but you don't realise because the lessons are fun. If you're thinking about booking a lesson, just do it!"

"I received 6 lessons for the 'beginners vocal workshop' as a Christmas present and must admit, really wondered what I was getting myself into on the first week. When I arrived at the studio, however, I was greeted by a very friendly, happy face (Matt) and there was no pressure to perform straight away, which made me feel more relaxed and made the session very enjoyable. The lessons were very helpful with a good balance between learning technique and singing some really good songs. I enjoyed it so much that I signed up for a second 6 week session. I feel I am confident enough to sing in front of a small audience, which was my initial goal. I'd recommend to people who are just starting out and want to build some confidence, and learn a little around the basic techniques."

"I have always had an interest in singing but despite having sung on and off when working as an actor in recent years I had let this slip and no longer felt very confident in using my voice. I found Arpeggio music on an internet search and went along to the group class. I absolutely loved it, not only did we learn valuable techniques to enable us to hit notes I would have thought were out of my range but it was also great fun and I found myself looking forward to each class. Matt makes the class lighthearted and informal and it was a fantastic opportunity to sing alone and with others, to try new things out in a safe environment and most of all just to have fun singing."
