 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely recommend Sam and City Vocal Coach for anyone looking to learn to sing. I came in with 0 singing experience and had about a dozen lessons so far, and I already feel so much more confident and a better understanding of my own voice. Something that I didn't think I'd be able to do, now feels possible.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Incredible instructors / coaches at CVC and an amazing community to be a part of. I have had lessons at CVC for 3 years now with Sam, Polly and song-writing workshops. I love the learning environment they create and could hardly believe the progress I feel I have made since joining. Could not recommend CVC more highly!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Natalie worked with my daughter, 13 over the summer. My daughter instantly connected with Natalie and throughly enjoyed her lessons and progressed through vocal exercises, preparing for an open mic and working through some song writing.  She is patient, engaging and most importantly, tailored the class to my daughter’s voice and interests. Thanks Natalie, wish you the best.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Malin’s lessons have been an incredible confidence boost! As someone who’s never had singing lessons before, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but she’s made me feel incredibly at ease and I’ve made real progress in our short amount of time. I’m looking forward to learning and growing more

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been coming to lessons with Natalie at City Vocal Coach for around 6 months after a 25-year break from singing, and am finding my voice better than ever with the exercises, tuition and song choices I have. I have already performed confidently since I began training here, and I’m looking forward to more. The training here really is exceptional, and Natalie knows exactly what I need to do to get the best out of my voice. Highly recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I initially contacted them to help find a vocal coach for my daughter, and they introduced us to the wonderful Natalie. I honestly couldn’t be happier! Natalie is so kind, lovely and encouraging, and has an incredible voice herself. She has such a wonderful way of guiding my daughter with her singing while also helping to build her confidence. My daughter absolutely loves her lessons and continues to have regular sessions with Natalie. The difference I’ve seen has been amazing, not only in her singing and vocal ability, but in her confidence generally too. It has been so lovely watching her grow and become more confident in herself. Natalie is incredibly supportive, patient and genuinely cares about bringing out the best in her students. I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a fantastic vocal coach for their child. We feel very lucky to have found her! ❤️

WHATS ON

Studio Open Mic, last Sunday of the month, Hoxton

Our monthly open mic night, hosted right here at our Hoxton studio. An intimate, invite-only evening for CVC students to perform, share and support each other. 5.30pm to 7.30pm.

Every student who gets up and performs at one of our events comes back to their next lesson having visibly moved forward. Getting up there doesn’t just show progress, it speeds it up.

A Singing Community

We have a really cool community here. We often meet up for student showcases and run open mic nights and workshops to share tips and stories with other students. So, even though you’ll have your own personal lessons, you’ll also make lots of new friends who love to sing too and have the support of our community to help you achieve your goals!

Our Studio

Our studio is comfortable and equipped with everything you need. Our teachers are passionate and experienced musicians who will guide you every step of the way. We believe in personalised learning, so your lessons will be tailored to your individual needs and goals.

“It’s more than just singing lessons- it’s about the experience; unlocking your voice’s true potential. When you immerse yourself in singing with us, you’ll develop far more than just vocal technique. You’ll build confidence, discover new passions and connect with a supportive community.”
