I am a freelance opera, platform and choral singer (Roles include Tamino [magic flute] Nemorino [l'elisir d'amor] and Don Ottavio [Don Giovanni] alongside many world premiers). I can teach vocal technique, opera and concert repertoire and sight-reading skills for budding choral scholars and choral society members.

If you enjoy singing and want to improve some of your fundamental skills or impress other members of your choral society with your newfound ability and repertoire this course is for you.

I'm happy to teach regularly or one-off lessons, and will teach online during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Tailor-made sessions providing singers of any level with the tools to keep improving their vocal delivery and performances.

A freelance music and dance artist / performer by trade, I've delivered private lessons from my home in East London for the past 9 years, preparing happy students for auditions and exams amongst others.
In my work, I include :

Sound
Voice placement
Breath control
Vocal techniques (mainly pop & experimental, in accordance with student's voice and style)
Range
Body-mind preparation
Rhythmicality
Delivery
Performance
Songwriting (on request)

On top of my practical experience and personal research, I have trained with renowned teachers and vocal coaches such as Line Hilton (BAST), Mark De Lisser, Laurent Versini, Andrea Ainsworth...
With extensive experience as a busker, singer-songwriter and function singer as well as having sung with choirs such as London Contemporary Voices, ACM Gospel Choir, Some Voices, TGGG, Singology etc, my main singing styles are pop, soul, gospel and reggae.
I also use my background in movement and somatics to help prepare the body for the best singing performances.

Some students feedback :

« Marc is a great singing teacher. His presence is gentle and his instructions and feedback are precise, specific and simple. As a dancer the connection between the body, energy and the voice are from the beginning nourished. The body and voice get warmed up and released, energy gets flowing, connecting the body to the voice, proceeding to vocal exercises and finally the performance of a song, with personal corrections, suggestions and images for pitch, sound, tone and delivery. I highly recommend. » T.S

« Marc is a superb singing teacher. I felt comfortable even though I was a beginner. nice warm up and going through a song. It was fun and taught me how to sing a song that I wanted to learn, with details and suitable for my voice » Y.M

« Marc is very approachable and I felt very relaxed as a nervous singer. I felt at ease and always looked forward to my classes with him. » R.D

« Marc is a very patient and welcoming singing teacher. He developed my singing skills and techniques in ways that I found interesting and valuable, and personalised lesson content and the repertoir to me. Highly recommend Marc if you want a friendly and hard working singing teacher. » N.C

« Marc is an amazing vocal coach. Throughout our lessons I have learnt techniques to improve my voice control and projection. I loved working with him, I liked his professionalism and patience. » S.H

« The singing lessons are great for all levels as Marc has experience as a singer. What really helps is that he has a strong knowledge on how other elements other than the voice can affect one's singing, for example keeping the body relaxed and reducing tension. I've learned some great techniques to help me with relaxing while singing which is great for me personally as I have anxiety and get quite nervous when performing.
Marc creates a safe homely environment and has a great warm personality so it makes it that much more easier and enjoyable when attending the lessons. »
B.S

« Marc has given me some great lessons in which I feel have helped me improve my vocals a lot. He's given me some really useful tips in how to have a good technique, as well as working with me on reaching my unique goals. »

Songwriting is an essential skill in the production of any song.
Learn what it takes to write a great song that resonates with people. We will discuss the art of storytelling and discover how you can find your unique voice. Exploring how to create a strong melody and write a compelling lyric.
In this class, you will learn simple techniques on how to get the most out of your lyrics by skillfully matching the phasing and syllables with the notes of your melodies. We will look at the ways in which song structure can give your songs more depth.
I believe everyone can be trained in the art of skilled expression through songwriting.

I am very proud to be a keeper of the Russian Music School tradition, and also very proud of my musical and teaching legacy - my teachers’ line can be traced back to Beethoven himself!
I have vast experience in teaching classical piano to people of all levels, ages and backgrounds. In case you just don’t know where to start or want to get to know the basics of playing - I possess a very unique teaching method for beginners based on my teachers’ research and enhanced by my own experience (over 10 years), which allows you to get to know the piano and see how you’re feeling about it. If you are rather advanced and looking for expanding your knowledge - I’m ready to back you up with not just useful tips, but some history and more profound understanding of where the composer you’ve chosen (and maybe even this particular work you’re interested in) came from. My approach is very individual and well-rounded, so if you really want to explore what it is all about and how it works and have passion for that - so do I!

My name is Andrea, I have recently concluded my Artist's Master in keyboard instruments at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. My passion for music induced me to apply in the “Conservatorio Profesional de Música de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria” in the course of Harpsichord as my principal study. After 10 years studying music and obtaining the diploma of “Grado de Enseñanzas Profesionales” in the conservatory, I developed a deep interest for Classical and Early music for keyboard instruments.

Discovering a historical and musical universe, I decided to continue my performing and theoretical investigation studying the bachelor course in keyboard instruments including piano, harpsichord and organ. I had the amazing opportunity to obtain a scholarship and study at the "Conservatorio Tartini di Trieste", in Italy. Working with exceptional teachers, i was able expand my linguistic abilities and cultural appreciation for the expressive diversity of Keyboard music. I have discovered the magnificent variety between many composers all around Europe and the distinct features and techniques they utilized to improvise and to embellish their pieces. During this artistic journey, i have had extraordinary performance experiences as a soloist including playing at the Parlament of Brussels and the National Gallery in Bosnia. Recently, living in London has inspired me to take part in a wide variety of exciting projects such as performing as a keyboard accompanist in Opera Scenes and with the Guildhall Baroque Orchestra in the Milton Court Concert Hall.

I am a classically trained pianist with a Bachelor’s degree in Classical Piano and a Master’s degree in Musical Directing, bringing over a decade of experience to both performance and teaching.

With more than 12 years of experience working with adults and children, including those with special needs and learning differences, I have developed a teaching style that is both patient and structured. I believe that a strong foundation in technique opens the door for true musical expression, allowing every student—no matter their age or ability—to discover the joy of making music.

I am well-versed with the different examination boards such as ABRSM/Trinity/Rockschool

Whether I am preparing a student for exams, guiding beginners through their first scales, or encouraging creativity through performance, my goal is always to foster confidence, discipline, and artistry at the piano.
