My name is Angus Munro and I’ve been a professional touring and session musician for over fifteen years. I specialise in teaching singing in a fun and relatable way where students can progress at any pace they wish to be it comfortable or more technically challenging. In my travels, I’ve been fortunate enough to sing alongside and open for some notable names including Tom Jones, Scouting For Girls, Corinne Bailey Rae and Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox to name a few. I’ve also toured internationally as a vocalist/solo artist and have made multiple appearances on national radio including live sessions on BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio London and BBC Radio Scotland. I've written and performed in shows at the Adelaide & Perth Fringe Festivals in Australia where I won multiple best weekly music awards and the "Voice Of The Fringe" award at 2024's Edinburgh Fringe Festival. However, if you are interested in learning how to sing for the first time or are seasoned professional wanting to tune up – I am more than happy to cater for whatever your needs may be with enthusiasm and a relaxed atmosphere.

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.
