Frequently Asked Questions

Nobody is judged here. What you sing in the first few minutes does not define your voice, it just introduces it to me, and I will say that before you start. You are allowed to make mistakes, forget words and get it wrong. That is how lessons work. If being watched is the problem, you can turn your camera off and I will turn mine off too.

No. Adults who have never had a lesson, and adults coming back after decades away, are a large part of who I teach. The voice responds to good training at any age. The only thing that genuinely limits people is never starting.

Almost everybody who says this has been told something unkind by somebody who was not qualified to say it. In 25 years I have met very few people who genuinely cannot learn to sing, and a great many who had been convinced they could not. Usually something specific is in the way, and it can be found and fixed.

No. There is no hard sell in the consultation and you do not have to decide anything on the day. I would rather you went away and thought about it than signed up to something that is not right for you.

A link to your own lesson folder. Inside it is the recording of the lesson, a written summary of what we worked on, and a clear path telling you exactly what to practise next. The folder stays available, so nothing depends on you remembering or taking notes while you sing.

The opposite. I have ADHD myself and I teach in a way that does not depend on memory, does not pile on six corrections at once, and never blames you for not understanding an explanation. More on how I teach neurodivergent singers

I believe singing is a skill that can be learned, and that natural talent is far less important than most people think. Many people who believe they cannot sing have simply never had the real obstacle identified. Usually something specific is in the way, and it can be found and worked on. Singing is a skill, like driving or cooking. It takes practice, not magic.

Lessons are taught live and one-to-one on Microsoft Teams. You choose your option through Book Online, and we work together in real time. I can hear your voice clearly, see your technique, and give you feedback as you sing. Teaching online means no travel time, and you can warm up in your own space before the lesson.

Just three things: a reliable internet connection, a device with a camera (phone, tablet, or laptop) that can join a Microsoft Teams call, and a quiet space where you can sing without worrying about disturbing others. No special equipment is needed. If you are using a phone or tablet, a simple stand helps so you do not have to hold it, but it is not essential.

I offer three options: a 30-minute consultation for £25, a single 60-minute lesson for £85, or the Development Programme of ten structured lessons for £700. The consultation is where I diagnose what is actually holding your voice back, with no obligation to continue. All lessons are one-to-one on Microsoft Teams and include a recording of the session for you to practise with.

We'll start with a chat about your goals and any previous singing experience. Then I'll do a brief vocal assessment — listening to your range, tone, and any particular challenges. From there, we'll dive into exercises tailored to your voice and work on a song if you're ready. By the end, you'll have specific techniques to practice and a clear idea of what your voice can do.

Everybody is different, so I cannot promise a fixed timescale or outcome. Some singers notice a change in how something feels quite quickly once the real issue has been identified, but lasting change comes from consistent practice over time. I will give you clear things to practise between lessons so the work carries on outside our sessions.

I teach all contemporary genres: pop, rock, R&B, soul, gospel, funk, blues, jazz, and musical theatre. Whether you want to belt like Adele, riff like Stevie Wonder, or nail those musical theatre high notes, I can help. The fundamentals of good singing — breath support, vocal health, range extension — apply across all styles. We'll adapt the techniques to whatever music you love.

My coaching is one-to-one, because the work is built around your individual voice. I occasionally run group workshops. If you are interested in group sessions, please get in touch and I can let you know about any workshops that are planned.

Cancellation periods are set out in the Terms: 24 hours for a consultation and 48 hours for a lesson. Cancellations within the notice period may be charged in full, as set out in the Terms. Rescheduling requests are treated as set out in the Terms. Please contact me directly if you need to cancel or reschedule.

I work with students aged 12 and up. If your child is under 12, please get in touch before booking and I can advise whether lessons are suitable. For teenagers and adults, you are welcome to book.

Yes. Some of my favourite students are complete beginners. I have a lot of experience working with nervous beginners who have been told they cannot sing. We will start from the basics, move at your pace, and build your confidence step by step.

Click any Book Online button on the website, choose your option (consultation, single lesson, or Development Programme), and complete the booking form. If you would like to ask a question first, please use the contact page or email me directly.

Cancellations, no-shows and refunds are set out in the Terms, and the Terms are the policy that applies. I do not offer a money-back guarantee. A booking cancelled before the notice period (24 hours for a consultation, 48 hours for a lesson) is refunded as the Terms describe, and the Development Programme is covered by section 4 of the Terms. If you are unhappy with a lesson, please contact me directly at matt@singtheeasyway.com so we can talk it through and put it right personally.

Yes. I can work with you on your audition songs, vocal technique, performance presence and managing nerves, and help you present your best self. If your audition is for a specific project or production, please get in touch so we can talk about what you need.

Lessons are taught live online, so you can join from outside the UK. Available times are shown when you book through Book Online. If you are in a different time zone and cannot find a suitable time, please get in touch.
