One-to-one singing lessons
Your voice is already in there. Let's find it.
Adult singing lessons in London, taught one-to-one by specialist vocal coaches. Whether you’re a complete beginner or ready to perform, we’ll meet you exactly where you are.
Most people think they can't sing. Most people are wrong.
What holds people back isn’t talent. It’s never having had someone show them how their voice actually works. Singing is a skill. Like any skill, it responds to good coaching, consistent practice, and a teacher who listens.
At City Vocal Coach, we’ve taught over 1,000 adults in London. Some came in barely able to hold a note in tune. Others were already performing but felt stuck. What they all had in common: within a few lessons, something shifted. The voice they’d always had started to feel like theirs.
Inside A Session
An hour built entirely around you.
Every lesson starts with your voice. Where it is that day, what you’re working towards, what’s been on your mind. Your coach will warm you up properly, not just to get you ready but to teach you how your voice functions and why.
From there, we work on the songs you want to sing. Real songs. Not exercises for their own sake, but technique applied to music that means something to you. Whether that’s a West End ballad, a Radiohead deep cut, or something you’ve written yourself.
By the end of a session you’ll have made audible progress. Not in six months. That day.
What we work on: Pitch and tone · Breath control and support · Vocal range · Resonance and power · Performing with confidence · Song interpretation · Your own material

More than lessons
You're joining something, not just booking sessions.
A lesson at City Vocal Coach isn’t just an hour in a room. From the moment you start, you become part of a community of adult singers in London who are all working on the same thing: finding their voice and actually using it.
What’s included with every singing lesson:
Performance opportunities We run regular student showcases so you can take what you’re learning and put it in front of an audience. In a room full of people who get it.
A private student community We can add you to our WhatsApp group, where students share wins, support each other, and stay connected between sessions.
Free workshops and meet-ups Regular events, open to all students, covering everything from songwriting to stage presence to just getting together and singing.
Vocal pod access Practice between lessons in our soundproofed vocal pod at Hoxton Works. Because progress happens in the hours between sessions too, (subject to availability).
Discounts on group courses Students get priority access and reduced pricing on our Open Mic Ready course and Songwriting course.

None at all. Many of our students come to us having never had a lesson in their life, and some haven’t sung since school. We start from wherever you are and build from there. If you’re a complete beginner, our Foundation lessons are built exactly for you.

Once a week is ideal for steady progress, but we work around busy lives. Fortnightly lessons work well for a lot of our students. What matters most is consistency over time, not frequency.
It’s a free 15-minute call with the coach you choose. You’ll tell them what you’re hoping to achieve, they’ll ask a few questions, and between you you’ll work out whether lessons are right for you and which path suits you best. No singing required, no hard sell, no commitment.
Yes, completely. You browse our coaches and book your discovery call directly with the one who feels right for you. If you’re not sure where to start, book a Foundation or Advanced call and we’ll help you find the best fit.
Foundation lessons are with a coach who specialises in getting people started, perfect if you’re new to singing or coming back after time away. Advanced lessons are with our senior coaches for singers who already have a foundation and want to develop their technique, style, and performance. Many students begin at Foundation and move up as they grow.
Foundation lessons with our beginner specialists are £80 an hour. Advanced lessons with our senior coaches are £105 an hour. Not sure which is right for you? Start with a free 15-minute discovery call and we’ll help you choose.
Yes. Online lessons are available via Google Meet for students who can’t make it to Hoxton in person, at both Foundation and Advanced levels.
We ask for 48 hours’ notice for a full refund. Cancellations inside 48 hours are charged in full. This protects your teacher’s time and keeps things fair for everyone.
Ready when you are.
Lessons held at Hoxton Works Studio, 128 Hoxton Street, London N1 6SH. Online lessons available on request.
