Singing Lessons in Nottingham, Midlands & Worldwide via Zoom

Mark JW Graham: Singing Lessons Nottingham

Hi, I’m Mark — a certified voice coach and the Midlands’ leading singing teacher. I offer expert singing lessons in Nottingham as well as online sessions to clients across the UK and worldwide.

Mark JW Graham: Singing Lessons Nottingham

I work with singers of all levels — from absolute beginners to professional performers. What unites them? They’re serious about improving their voices. My clients know me as the “go-to guy” for quickly resolving vocal issues and unlocking a healthier, more powerful sound.

Whatever your genre or vocal background, I can help you develop your voice faster and more effectively than you ever thought possible.

Let me show you what we can do for you and your voice.

HOW DO LESSONS WORK?

Whether you’re a total beginner, a seasoned performer, or somewhere in between — we’ve got you covered.

Our studio welcomes a wide range of singers, each with their own goals, styles, and vocal challenges. We work with:

  • Choir members and musical theatre performers
  • Gigging singer-songwriters and acoustic acts
  • Amateur dramatics singers and weekend vocalists
  • Lead vocalists in touring stage productions
  • Casual singers who want to feel more confident

Whatever your vocal background, you’ll benefit from our battle-tested vocal technique. Together, we’ll use proven methods to help you reach your goals with clarity, control, and confidence.

Every Lesson is Tailored to Your Voice

Each session is custom-built around your unique voice. Whether you’re working on range, power, or stamina, we’ll design effective, enjoyable lessons that push your voice further — without strain or guesswork.

Using our Speech Level Singing-based technique, we target the root of vocal challenges and build your sound from the ground up.

Most students notice significant improvements within their first few lessons. While long-term vocal development takes time and dedication, the benefits start showing quickly — and the journey is well worth it.

Whether you’re prepping for a tour, an audition, or just want to sound better singing in the car — you’ll be amazed by how far your voice can go.

“Since working with Mark, my voice has massively improved in a very short period of time, and EVERYONE can notice the difference – the improvement has been shocking! Mark makes lessons fun, and makes it clear as to what you’re being asked to do. Mark has even been able to help me with my guitar playing! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mark to any beginner who is considering singing for fun or professionally.”
Jamie L, beginner singer and guitarist

 

Looking to level up your technique?

Whether you’re dealing with stubborn issues like vocal breaks, range limitations, or fatigue from heavy singing, we’ve got the tools and strategies to help you unlock new levels of performance.

In your first session, we’ll conduct a focused vocal diagnosis — no matter your level — to uncover the specific causes of tension, inconsistency, or vocal instability. From there, we dive straight into targeted exercises to help smooth out transitions (like the flip between chest and head voice), build strength, and restore vocal balance.

Just like an athlete needs a coach to stay in peak condition, regular voice coaching helps protect your voice for the long haul. Whether you’re prepping for an audition, tour, or just want to sing with more power and confidence — this is where we fine-tune your voice.

Online Singing Lessons

Online Singing Lessons

Not based in Nottingham? No problem. We work with singers across the globe — from the US to Singapore, Australia to South America — using online video calls that are just as effective as in-person sessions.

All you need is a microphone, camera, and a stable internet connection. You’ll receive the same expert coaching in real time, with the added convenience of zero travel. It’s ideal for busy performers, professionals on tour, or anyone who prefers to work from the comfort of home.

LEARN MORE ABOUT ONLINE SINGING LESSONS

 

“Having wanted to get singing lessons for years I found Mark and decided to take the leap. I was very nervous at first, but Mark made me feel completely at ease and assessed my voice strengths and weaknesses. His knowledge of the functional implications of each sound and how to tailor them to my voice is second to none. I can feel and hear the difference in every lesson and my confidence builds with this. Mark has not only improved my voice but also given me the knowledge to identify my own tendencies and improve on them!”
John J, lead singer and guitarist

 
 

WHAT HAPPENS IN LESSONS?

 

Diagnosis:
In your first session, we start with a personalised vocal assessment. This helps us identify your strengths, limitations, and specific tendencies. From there, we tailor vocal exercises to build technique, troubleshoot song difficulties, and—where relevant—discuss gear or equipment that may support your goals.

Structure:
Most sessions are split between vocal technique (50–70%) and real-world application through song (30–50%). The structure flexes with your needs, but always prioritises results and enjoyment.

Exercises and Songs:
To fully develop your voice, we combine structured exercises with song practice. Exercises build coordination and control, while song work ensures you apply your technique where it counts most — in performance.

As We Progress…

In the beginning, we’ll focus more on vocal development through targeted exercises. As your coordination improves, we’ll shift toward deeper application within songs. This song-focused work is where your true vocal identity emerges.

WHY CHOOSE TO STUDY WITH MARK?

 

Our students are serious about their voices — and they choose us because we deliver measurable, lasting results session after session.

If you’re looking for transformative progress and expert guidance, I’m confident you’ll find what you’re after here. But if you’re simply price shopping, I may not be the right coach for you — because we focus on value, not shortcuts.

The Bottom Line

We often achieve more in just one or two lessons than many students have experienced in months — or even years — elsewhere. Read what our clients say and see how their voices changed dramatically after struggling for years with the wrong guidance.

Many singers arrive frustrated after training with multiple teachers, only to find in their first session with us that their voice was capable of far more. That’s the power of using the right technique — we help you stop fighting your voice and finally unlock its full potential.

Our consistent student success has earned us a reputation as one of the Midlands’ top voice coaching studios — and we’d love to help you experience the same.


 

 

The Breakdown

“Mark immediately diagnosed what I was doing with my voice that was causing the fatigue and giving me an inability to use my voice to it’s full extent and potential.

The relief I felt when he told me, provided me with exercises that would have me singing correctly and the feeling of singing with ease was like nothing I had ever felt before! From that moment I knew I could conquer it.”
            Lorna S, gigging pro
