Diagnosis and clarity
We identify habits, pressures and patterns affecting the voice. The aim is for you to understand what is happening, why it may be happening and what needs attention.
Development Programme
Stop guessing. Start building the voice you actually want.
Most singers do not need another exercise. They need a plan.
The Development Programme is for singers tired of repeatedly fixing the same problems. You may have watched videos, tried exercises or had lessons, yet still hit the same wall.
Range that disappears. Confidence that comes and goes. A voice that works one day and feels unreliable the next.
Ten structured one-to-one sessions give us time to identify the actual blocker, work on it properly and build change into something more reliable.
One ten-session commitment: £1,400 paid in full upfront. Sessions 1–9 are 60 minutes; session 10 is 75 minutes, including a 15-minute progress review and next-step plan. Live on Microsoft Teams.
Who the Development Programme is for
- You know your voice is capable of more, but progress has stalled.
- You improve during a lesson and then lose the improvement afterwards.
- The same range, tension, confidence or consistency problem keeps returning.
- You want a clear plan rather than disconnected lessons.
- You want accountability and continuity.
- You are prepared to work between sessions.
The programme is available from age 16. For a 16- or 17-year-old, a parent or legal guardian must purchase the programme and accept its terms. The programme may not be necessary if you have one isolated issue to work on; Private Vocal Coaching may be the better option.
Why singers stay stuck
Range, confidence, breath, pitch and performance difficulties can be symptoms rather than the underlying cause. Repeating generic exercises may not address the particular blocker behind a recurring problem.
The programme makes space to look at what is happening in your voice, then work on it in the music and situations that matter to you. There is no guaranteed transformation; the work is specific to the individual singer.
What happens over ten sessions
This is a guide, not a fixed curriculum. The structure is adapted to your individual voice, goals and songs.
Building new habits
We work to replace recurring patterns with more useful ones, using your own voice, goals and songs.
Applying it under pressure
We test changes in real music, including demanding songs and difficult notes, and in relevant recording or performance situations.
Long-term consistency
We consolidate the work and identify what helps you maintain progress.
Progress review and next-step plan
The final session includes a 15-minute progress review and a plan for your next steps, tailored to the work completed.
Lesson notes and materials
Where the automated note service is used, Microsoft Teams transcription supports personalised lesson notes and a practice plan. Transcription is required for that service; lesson recording is separate and optional. Materials may be held in Microsoft 365 and private lesson folders. See the Privacy Policy for details.
What the programme is designed to develop
These are aims for the work, not guaranteed outcomes:
- Greater vocal consistency.
- A better understanding of your individual voice.
- More confidence applying changes in songs.
- Reduced reliance on guesswork.
- Clearer practice direction.
- More dependable technique.
- Progress towards your individual range, performance or recording goals.
Programme commitment and scheduling
The Development Programme is one ten-session commitment, not ten separately purchased or separately refundable lessons. The £1,400 fee is paid in full upfront.
The programme is valid for six months from the originally booked first-lesson date. Weekly sessions are strongly recommended; fortnightly sessions may work where necessary. Approximately two hours of independent practice each week is expected.
Sessions are completely individual and live through Microsoft Teams. There is no generic curriculum and no guaranteed result. The programme is personal and non-transferable.
Programme questions
Why choose the programme instead of Private Vocal Coaching?
Choose Private Vocal Coaching for one focused issue. Choose the programme when a problem keeps returning, progress has stalled, or you want a structured body of work with consistent follow-through.
Can I start with a consultation?
Yes. The £25, 30-minute Consultation includes an initial vocal assessment and recommendation and is not credited against another service.
Is the programme suitable for beginners?
Yes, if you want structured development. The work starts from your voice as it is and is adapted to you.
How much progress should I expect?
Progress varies by singer, the issue being addressed, attendance, practice and how established existing habits are. There is no fixed result or timetable.
How long do I have to use the sessions?
The programme is valid for six months from the originally booked first-lesson date. See the Terms.
Progress built over time
I’ve been working with my Matt for the past 18 months to improve my vocals and the progress I’ve made in that time has been incredible. Matt’s lessons are always supportive, encouraging, and tailored to my goals. I’ve gained so much more confidence in my voice, improved my technique, increasing my range and I genuinely look forward to every lesson. Matt creates such a comfortable and motivating environment, which makes learning both enjoyable and effective. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting to improve their singing, whether you’re a complete beginner or more experienced.
Matt was recommended to me from a good friend when I was struggling with confidence and anxiety on stage. His unique method of teaching is inspiring and patient yet encouraging. I felt fully supported as he pushed me out of my comfort zone and onto stages and then into song writing. His skills help you break down song structure and work on breathing techniques and vocal drills to improve your voice. 12 years later I still turn to Matt for support and guidance when I have performances coming up :)
