Paul has helped me more really quickly to being ready for my Grade 8 singing exam. We get a tremendous amount done in regular lessons which focus on key issues and motivate me to practise. In only a few months of working with Paul I have already received compliments on my solo appearances.

I’ve been having singing lessons with Mr Cook since I was 11. He is a first class teacher. He tailors lessons to each of his pupils’ needs and makes them fun and engaging. His zest for music is infectious and it is because of him that I achieved a Distinction at 14 in my Grade 8 Classical Singing exam. He is a truly inspirational teacher.

Mr Cook has been my singing teacher for just over five years now. I am thankful to him for helping me to become into the confident singer I am today and and has helped me through each and every singing grade I have completed (with flying colours thanks to him). I passed my Grade 8 Music Theatre exam with Distinction and am now preparing to take a diploma. Anyone who starts singing lessons with him will truly flourish very quickly.

Paul helped me, not only with my singing and technique, but also my confidence. His support 100% got me into Arts Educational, Urdang Academy and Bird. Forever grateful.

I came away from every session with Paul as a better singer, so after receiving an offer to study Musical Theatre at Mountview, I am absolutely indebted to him.
