About Me
Hi!

My name is Chris, and I'm a classical tenor who has a burning passion for his art.

Without a doubt, music is my purpose in life, and I'd argue it is in most people's lives. I'm devoted to my craft and always looking to further my knowledge every day.

Alongside my professional performing career, I thoroughly enjoy teaching my students and building up a strong relationship with them. When singing, we put ourselves in a vulnerable position. We are welcoming the audience into our musical world. Thus, there are no barriers between our deepest emotions and our listeners. Learning to sing is a very similar experience as the pupil puts their trust into the hands of their teacher. Trust is the most vital aspect of the whole experience, and I want nothing more than my pupils to flourish.

Many of my pupils have gone onto secure scholarships at leading musical institutions in the UK and regularly perform on national TV and radio.

Of course, this is just a tiny snippet of what I do; I don't just teach my pupils how to 'sing'. Instead, my pupils learn how to communicate not only with an audience but more importantly, themselves. We must learn how to control every aspect of our being when singing. However, this can only happen when we feel relaxed and comfortable.

Why do we sing? Simply because we enjoy it. This ethos transfers directly into my teaching philosophy. We must learn to sing through our enjoyment, happiness, and enthusiasm.

I welcome any interest from potential pupils, and I'm more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Chris

Music theory is an often daunting topic; this doesn't have to be the case! I'm confident that I can guide any pupil through from basic, all the way to advanced knowledge levels (grade 8+).

I promise to ensure that no part of my teaching will overcomplicate things. I will always give my students simple yet memorable tools to overcome any hurdles.

I know exactly how it feels to struggle with certain aspects of music theory as I have done in the past. I'm extremely friendly, calm, patient, and will always go over and above to help my pupils.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Did you ever ask yourself what your life would look like if you had more confidence?

With me, your goals and self-esteem are my #1 priority.

It’s estimated that roughly 85% of people worldwide have low self-esteem. This can lead to mental health issues such as anxiety and have a dramatic impact on our personal and professional lives.

To combat this, we must take special care of ourselves and I believe that working towards finding our individual voices is a fantastic way to do so. Working on a creative skill cultivates greater emotional health and builds our confidence as we improve.

I’m the right tutor for you if:
You’re ready to take action to build your confidence
You want to overcome fears around performing
You want to expand the range of notes you can sing
You want to discover your voice
You want to improve your vocal tone
You want to stabilise and strengthen your voice
You want tools to manage anxiety and become a better a singer through work on breathing techniques
You DON’T want to spend hours on scales or music theory

I wasn’t born a naturally good singer and have struggled with anxiety for as long as I can remember. I’m now a professional singer and singing coach, signed to a record label with over 3 million streams and although I still experience anxiety, I’m far better equipped to cope with it thanks in part to breathing techniques. It’s safe to say, I know how impactful the right guidance can be.
You can see it in the reviews from my students too - through my coaching, confidence blossoms alongside the voice.

Make this the turning point of your life.
Why not take the first step to building your self-esteem and sign up for your first lesson now?
You deserve to nurture yourself!

I'm a Leeds Conservatoire Graduate with a First-Class Degree in Popular Music - Voice Performance. Professional Singer, Musician, and Performer. My appearances include performing at the Royal Albert Hall, various Television broadcasts, 5-star luxury hotels & resorts, and high-end cocktail bars. Making me an excellent option if you want professional feedback and like to work with industry professionals.

Musical Background:
My relationship with music began at the age of 9, when I started piano lessons and soon joined my teacher’s children’s choir, quickly stepping into receiving solos. At 14, I began one-to-one vocal training, and within two years I achieved Trinity Grade 8 with Distinction, earning the Highest Mark of the Year nationally. In 2019, I completed ABRSM Grade 8 Piano, and in 2020, I was accepted with an unconditional offer to study Popular Music at the prestigious Leeds Conservatoire, where I graduated in 2024 with First-Class Honours.

My teaching technique and methodology are flexible and vary according to your learning style, aims, and goals. I have experience teaching a wide age range (6-70 years old), and I am adaptable and comfortable in teaching and tailoring lessons according to my students' experience, needs, goals, and aims. My existing students particularly highlight my communication and ability to effectively transfer knowledge, whilst at the same time having engaging, fun, and enjoyable lessons with me.

Curriculum:
I have been professionally coaching and teaching since 2023, working with over 100 students to develop their skills in singing, piano, music theory, and songwriting.

Until recently, I was part of a teaching team at a music school in the UK, delivering one-to-one lessons. However, earlier this year I decided to pursue this independently and build my very own music coaching business, offering a more personal and flexible approach.

My teaching style is modern and student-focused. That means I take the time to talk with you about the music you like, and we create lesson plans that are not only effective for your growth, but also enjoyable and inspiring, and make you actually want to continue.

→ No prior experience needed. We will learn everything & boost your confidence together.
