With over 20 years musical experience, I work with singers of all levels — from absolute beginners to professional performers. What do all therse singers have in common? They’re serious about improving their voices. My clients know me as the “go-to vocal coach” in Nottingham for quickly resolving vocal issues and unlocking a healthier, more powerful sound.

“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 anyone who is considering singing for fun or professionally.”

YOUR SINGING LESSONS WITH MARK
Why should you pick Mark as your vocal coach?
Quite simply, we will achieve more in just one or two singing lessons than most singers have experienced in years with other singing teachers. Read what our clients say and see how their singing voices changed dramatically, after struggling for years with the wrong guidance.
Many singers arrive frustrated after training with multiple singing teachers, to not get what they wanted. Immediately, they find in their first voice training session with us that their singing voice was capable of much, much more. That’s the power of using the right vocal technique. We help you stop fighting your singing voice and finally unlock its full potential.
“…After just one singing lesson with Mark, my problems with breathing were solved by doing simple exercises which strengthened the tone of my voice…”
Mandy J, choir singer
Initial Consultation
In your first vocal coaching session, we start with a personalised vocal assessment. It’s like a vocal MOT for your singing voice. It helps us identify your strengths, limitations, and specific tendencies. From there, we tailor vocal exercises to fix all the issues you experience with our unique vocal technique, then apply that to songs that you want to sing.
Most sessions are split between vocal technique (50–70%) and real-world application of singing through song (30–50%). The structure flexes with your needs, but always prioritises results in your singing voice and enjoyment.
To maximally develop your singing voice, we combine structured vocal exercises with song practice. Carefully selected vocal exercises build coordination and control, while song work ensures you apply your technique where it counts most — in performance.
“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
Future singing lessons
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. Your future singing lessons will include:
- New, custom vocal workouts each and every session based on your ongoing development.
- A structured, evolving vocal plan built around your personal goals.
- Dedicated time to apply vocal technique to tricky songs you want to master.
- Exclusive vocal strategies from Mark to tackle problem areas and strengthen your vocal identity.
So 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-Person and Online Singing Lessons
While we’re based in Nottingham — working with singers from nearby areas like West Bridgford, Beeston, and Long Eaton — many of our clients travel from much further afield to work with us, from Derby, Leicester, Lincoln, and beyond.
Many are seeking expert training, a reliable vocal method, or simply haven’t found the right coach closer to home. Fortunately, the internet enables equally effective online singing lessons for those that cannot make it in person. In fact, many local clients jump between in-person and online sessions as their schedule permits.
Through online singing lessons, we work with singers across the globe — with vocalists from the US to Singapore, Australia to South America. All you need is a microphone, camera, and a stable internet connection. You can learn more about online singing lessons right here.
“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

SINGING LESSON PRICING
Here’s how our pricing structure works:
Initial Consultation
We recommend that new clients start with an initial consultation – you’ll be amazed how much we can get done in just one hour. That way we get a chance to get to know each other, and immediately start work on your voice. You can then see exactly the kinds of dramatic results we can achieve in your singing voice.
Session Packages
After that, should you choose to move forward working together, most singers move to session packages. These present a more cost-effective way for us to work together, and to begin on your personalised programme for developing and building your voice.
Bespoke Monthly Packages
Once singers have been working with me for a few of the session packages, and we’ve settled into a routine that works for them, most singers move onto a bespoke monthly package. This is the most cost-effective way to work together. It is designed from the ground up to fit your schedule and budget, and enables us to work together long-term on your voice. Please note that these can only be discussed in person with Mark, after a period of working together.
These options are presented below.
“Singing lessons with Mark are definitely worth it!
I’m always excited to return to my next lesson with Mark. Both to ask him more questions about my voice, and to work on my voice. Mark has saved me from giving up on my voice and has really given me hope to keep going with it!”
Rachel B, lead singer
