Ben Lake is an award winning West End performer and internationally renowned singer. Now residing in Norfolk he offers singing lessons in all styles when not performing in concerts. Benjamin Lake studied ‘Voice’ at Trinity College of Music in London. His successes led him to being offered a scholarship enabling a second year of study. There under his singing teacher – John Noble, he worked on his craft. It was at Trinity, that he made his opera debut in the world staged premiere of Goldschmidt’s 5Beatrice Cenci’. As the ‘lead tenor’ role of Orsino, he received much critical acclaim in the national press. His success continued with his second Opera, Poulenc’s ‘Dialogue of the Carmelites’. After leaving college in 1999, he won a place on the ITV primetime show ‘Michael Barrymore’s ‘My Kind of Music’. He performed ‘Vesti La Giubba’ (On With the Motley), from Pagliacci. This was the big break he was looking for. He was spotted by the producer of the international dance show ‘Spirit of the Dance’ and was immediately whisked off to Reno, Nevada to open a new show – ‘One World’. There he became a featured solo artist and it was not long before the phone began to ring. During a 3 year engagement with ‘Spirit and One World’, Benjamin opened huge events in American and European arenas and stadiums. He opened the ’Rugby World Cup’ at Twickenham with the National Anthem and Jerusalem with a huge firework display backdrop. Then singing ‘Nessun Dorma’ closed the Bravo China 2000 celebrations at The Millennium Dome accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. He also managed to record his debut solo album – The Voice. This album sold many thousands of copies all over the world and continues to be a housewives favourite. On returning to England, Benjamin found himself a new agent and began auditioning. It was not long before he was offered the role of the serial adulterer – Dwight, in the new show ‘Jerry Springer – The Opera’ due to be performed at Edinburgh Festival. It was a huge success and soon transferred to the National Theatre. Due to his portrayal of Dwight – the writers gave Ben the ultimate accolade by giving him the additional role of ‘God’ and the wonderful ballad – ‘It Ain’t Easy Being Me’. Although very controversial, Jerry Springer – The Opera won every award going including Olivier’s and Critic’s Choice. Ben won ‘Best West End Newcomer of the Year’ for his work on the show. Later he toured with the show around Britain, To this day he remains as the cast member who performed the most performances of the show! Benjamin was also seen in BBC2’s Award Winning ‘Kombat Opera Presents’ series playing many varied roles in each of the 5 episodes. Ben was then cast as Piangi’ in the West End Production of ‘Phantom of The Opera’. This was a dream come true! He now has an exciting singing telegram business ‘Tenorgram’ which he runs alongside his concert commitments. He is also one half of ‘The Classical Duo’ which is gaining great success throughout the UK.

Fun and friendly singing tutor based in Norwich. I teach students of all ages and abilities, one-on-one or in small groups, both in-person and online. I always tailor my lessons to suit each student’s needs and interests. I can help you discover your voice for the first time, build confidence, prepare for auditions and performances, and progress through exams. I also teach beginner musicians how to read music and develop core musicianship. About me I am a classically trained soprano and completed my studies at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland’s Alexander Gibson Opera School. I enjoy a busy performing career and have appeared with Northern Opera Group, Pop Up Opera, Edvard Grieg Kor and Bergen National Opera. As an experienced tutor, I enjoy working with aspiring singers of all ages and abilities, helping you sing the music you love in the healthiest way possible. I am happy to work on a wide range of repertoire, including opera and classical pieces, musical theatre, pop and film music, jazz standards and anything in between. I can help you prepare for concerts and exams, and I teach the building blocks of music to anyone who would like to learn to read notation and grasp basic music theory. My pupils all sing for pleasure, but I have also helped many of them to attain qualifications at a high level. Many of my pupils have taken ABRSM singing exams, from Prep Test to Grade 8, with a 100% pass rate. I have also helped past pupils to secure choral scholarships at Oxford University and places at the BRIT School. I run a warm, neurodiversity affirming studio, and along with my work as a musician, I am also a fully-qualified ADHD coach. Lesson description Technical developmentLessons begin with physical and vocal warm-ups and targeted technical exercises. We pay attention to posture, breath support and a healthy, free production of sound. As every voice is unique, exercises are tailored to each student and are easy to practise at home between lessons. MusicianshipI teach novice musicians to read notation and understand basic music theory, and I help students develop their aural skills. When tackling repertoire, we focus on rhythmic and melodic accuracy and a clear understanding of structure and style. PerformanceThe fun part. We work on interpreting a song and making it your own. Together we hone artistry and musicality, explore approaches to storytelling, and develop a range of expressive vocal colours. I can help students overcome stage fright and nerves and build confidence and stage presence. Exams and resultsI prepare students for ABRSM and Trinity singing exams from Prep Test to Grade 8 and beyond. I have a 100% pass rate, and I have also helped past pupils to secure choral scholarships at Oxford University and places at the BRIT School.

Singing lessons: what to expect
Singing lessons near you
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.
Who singing lessons are for
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.
What you’ll learn in singing lessons
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 vs in-person singing lessons
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.
