Had my first singing lesson with Wes. Very professional and made me feel comfortable right from the start. Very knowledgeable about voice health and singing techniques. Will definitely be rebooking.

I had a brilliant signing lesson with Wes! He was friendly, patient, and explained everything clearly, making the whole experience enjoyable and easy to follow... I’d highly recommend Wes to anyone wanting to learn from top-quality teaching and a genuinely great coach.

FAQ
What happens in a singing lesson?
During the singing lesson we will first start with a voice warm-up so your voice is working at it's best. Next we move on to vocal exercises, this allows us to focus on areas of your voice for improvement such as range or breathing. Lastly, we can then apply what we've worked on within the lesson on a song of your choice.
Do I need any previous singing experience?
No previous singing experience is needed! I welcome complete beginners and have worked with students who lacked confidence in their voice and helped them develop their skills, technique, and confidence as singers.
Where do your lessons take place?
Lesson take place in my home teaching studio based in Poole, Dorset.
Do you offer online lessons?
I primarily offer in-person singing lessons in Poole. Online lessons may be available by arrangement, depending on availability. Please enquire if you would like to discuss an online lesson.
How do you take payment?
Payment can be taken by card, cash or bank transfer. Card payments are processed securely via a card machine.
Do you offer songwriting lessons?
Yes! I teach how to write vocal melodies, chord progressions, lyrics, development of emotional tone and creative direction of a song. Songwriting lessons can help you turn your ideas into songs while developing your own unique style as an artist.
Do you offer block lessons?
Yes, I offer blocks of 5 or 10 lessons for both singing or songwriting. Click here to go to prices.
What happens if I’m ill or unable to attend my lesson?
I kindly ask that students do not attend if they are unwell or experiencing symptoms of a contagious illness. Singing while ill is not recommended, as it can place additional strain on the voice.
Please let me know as soon as possible if you are unable to attend, and I'd be happy to arrange an alternative lesson date where possible.
