My name is Monika and it’s a pleasure to virtually meet you. If you have landed on this page, I assume you are interested in singing and perhaps looking for guidance to perfect your vocal skills. If that is the case, then I hope to be joining you on your singing journey very soon. My own adventure with music has begun many years ago when at the age of 6 I discovered my love for the piano and soon after that I realised I could also use my voice to accompany the songs I played. However, whilst I was able to stay in tune and produce a reasonably pleasing sound, I struggled with sustaining notes, breath control, and achieving smooth transitions between my chest, middle and head voice. Back then I obviously didn’t know what the problems were, but I could certainly tell my voice needed coaching. Singing both intrigued and annoyed me at the same time. I loved how I could sing a melody to accompany the piano, but didn’t like how the sound wasn’t always exactly what I had envisaged in my head. So, to explore the subject of singing mechanics in greater detail, and with the hope to improve the way I used my voice, I joined a local church choir. There, I learnt a lot about important basics such as posture, breathing techniques, pitch, tone, dynamics, and performance, and all of these skills formed a solid and important foundation for all my future singing endeavours. My adventure with music perhaps never would have begun if it wasn’t for my love of Queen and Freddie Mercury, who had become my ultimate role model in regards to singing and performance. It was my utter fascination with him that inspired me to move to the UK from Poland in 1997. Since then, I have performed with a number of great bands and musicians and not only developed my vocal skills further but also acquired valuable experience in performance, which I now hope to share with you. The majority of my singing students take a lesson once a week, with a few taking lessons every other week. The frequency and the length of our lessons are completely up to you. For younger students under 12, I have found that half hour singing lessons each week work best.

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.

Weeks 1–4: Breath, pitch & confidence
1

Learn healthy breathing, posture, warm-ups, and simple exercises to improve pitch accuracy and reduce strain while building confidence.

Months 2–3: Control, tone & range
2

Develop stronger breath support, resonance and tone control, smoother transitions between registers, and start expanding your usable range.

Months 3–6: Style, performance & stamina
3

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.
