Pop & Rock Singing

Our Pop & Rock Singing Lessons are ideal for people who have some understanding of singing techniques and wish to further their development. This fun contemporary course covers a broad range of Pop and Rock material from artists such as Prince, The Beatles, Adele and Amy Winehouse. Students will be introduced to a number of techniques and approaches to achieve a good quality pop sound.

Our singing classes are taught in a fun and supportive environment and most of the time you will be singing in a group, although occasionally you will have the opportunity to sing on your own to check your progress.

What will be taught on Pop & Rock Singing Lessons?

The course will cover a range of carefully selected material to ensure it is challenging, varied, and above all, enjoyable.  

Course content will include:

  • Application of a range of vocal techniques and approaches to further develop range and improve tone.

  • Opportunities to sing solo pieces throughout the course, where students are encouraged to sing solo within the ensemble songs
  • Exploring a wide range of pop and rock songs
  • Developing increased vocal confidence in technique and performance.
