Hi, I’m Chloe Payne, a vocalist, songwriter, and singing teacher based near Reading/Basingstoke. My background in music began with musical theatre training when I was at school and college, I remember being super inspired when I watched Les Mis in the West End and deciding to take singing lessons! Alongside my training I performed in many local productions including playing ‘Nancy’ in ‘Oliver’, ‘Rizzo’ in ‘Grease’, however over the years I began to lean towards contemporary music. I pursued my passion at Queen Mary’s College on the BTEC Music Certificate course, and then at the Academy of Contemporary Music where I graduated with First Class Honours. Throughout my degree, I studied under Jono McNeil (The Voice Vocal Coach, Paloma Faith) Brian Henry (Soul II Soul, Lalah Hathaway, Omar), and Helena May (Heather Small). During my time at university, I gained a wide range of experience in live performance and gained the technical skills to become a versatile and confident vocalist, specialising in pop, rock, and soul. I completed a module on music education where I got a lot of experience of one-to-one teaching! I also learnt about recording at home and in a studio, as well as important business elements to the industry. Since graduating I have been writing and recording lots of original music, as well as collaborating with other musicians on their projects! I have experience of teaching full bands of children in primary schools (Rocksteady Music School), one-to-one singing lessons to various age groups and experience levels, as well as knowledge of music theory, songwriting, and creating vocal arrangements (Rock Choir). I would love to help students of all ages and abilities to improve their skills as a singer in a fun and relaxed environment either online or in-person! I’m happy to work with you towards music grades, audition prep, or just for fun- so please get in touch as I’d love to work with you!

My name is Rachel and I’m a professional singer offering singing lessons for all levels and ages. I have over 10 years experience performing and started teaching others to sing over a year ago. I’m also available to teach music theory (LCM or ABRSM) to various levels. Singing can be the most uplifting, self-rewarding journey and I’m here to help guide you! Whatever your goal, whether you require vocal coaching and performance guidance right through to beginners who’ve always wanted to learn to sing. I tailor each lesson to the student as every voice is unique. I am constantly researching the voice and growing as a teacher to make sure I’m bringing you the best advice possible. My own career has taught me so many valuable lessons, both when recording and performing live, and I love helping singers of all abilities to find the confidence they’re looking for. Some of my past experience includes: Backing vocal credits on a Grammy-nominated album Performances at venues such as The Roundhouse, Scala, St Pancras Old Church, Manchester Academy & The Tempodrom (Berlin) Work in some of the UK’s top studios, such as Assault & Battery, Middle Farm & The Visconti Studio 10 yrs touring & live experience both in London and abroad Grade 8 ABRSM classical singing Lessons are online via Zoom.

Singing lessons: what to expect
The best singing lessons near you aren’t just about distance — they’re about a coach who helps you build your voice safely and consistently. Search by location to find in-person singing lessons, or choose online lessons to access specialist vocal coaches for pop, musical theatre, rock, classical, and exam preparation.
Singing lessons are for complete beginners through to experienced performers. Lessons can be tailored for children, teenagers, and adults — whether you’re learning for fun, building confidence, joining a band or choir, or returning to singing after a break.
Most students work on breath control, pitch, tone, range, vocal agility, and song interpretation. A good vocal coach will also help you practise effectively, warm up safely, and build vocal stamina — so you improve without strain.
Online singing lessons can be highly effective for technique, consistency, and flexible scheduling — especially with an experienced coach. In-person lessons can feel more immersive and are great if you prefer face-to-face feedback and hands-on guidance.
A simple learning path for singing
A good teacher will tailor lessons to your goals — but here’s what progress often looks like.
Learn healthy breathing, posture, warm-ups, and simple exercises to improve pitch accuracy and reduce strain while building confidence.
Develop stronger breath support, resonance and tone control, smoother transitions between registers, and start expanding your usable range.
Improve vocal agility, dynamics, phrasing and expression, build stamina for longer songs, and develop performance skills — tailored to your style and goals.
Getting started: what you need
Keep it simple at first — your teacher can help you choose the right setup.
- No kit required: you can start with your voice, a phone recorder, and a quiet room.
- Hydration and warm-ups matter more than volume — good singing is built on consistency, not pushing.
- If learning online: headphones and a stable internet connection make lessons smoother.
Styles & goals your teacher can support
Choose a direction — lessons can be tailored around what you actually want to play.
Pitch, tone, breath control, runs, stylistic choices, and building confidence for modern pop songs.
Clarity, projection, character, stamina, and audition prep — combining technique with performance.
Healthy power, grit and intensity (when appropriate), safe belt development, and avoiding vocal fatigue.
Foundations of technique, resonance and diction, musicianship, and structured preparation for exams.
