I love and look forward to every singing lesson I have with Gareth, he has helped me so much with my voice over the years.

In the 8 years I studied vocal techniques with the school, I shaped the voice that has taken me from school boy, through gigging singer, studio vocalist, touring performer and now to roles in the West End

I have known Gareth since I was twelve. He recorded my first ever professional demos and helped me to get the very best, not only out of the recording process but also from my voice. He is also coaching me on how to protect my voice, which is a crucial part of any professional singers development.

I found myself achieving vocal ideas and styles that I never had the confidence to try previously
Yazz - Dance Music Legend
The results are wicked but I particularly love the fact that these guys take their work seriously, not themselves.

Junior Singers Vocal Coaching
Over the years that The Southern School of Popular Singing has been open, we have built an outstanding reputation for working with younger singers.
Whilst it is fair to say that the more intricate parts of vocal technique may be a little beyond toddlers, we have had students from 6 years old upwards and are very happy to teach young singers as long as their attention span will allow!
We believe the key to succeeding with younger singers is not to patronize them with “children’s” songs that don’t interest them, but to get them to sing the songs that drive them, but to sing them well and with good, safe techniques that will develop in time into a healthy basis for their adult voices.
All our vocal coaches are CRB checked and most have worked with our junior performance division, The E Minor Pop Academy.
