What you'll learn
Learn how to sing with our music & singing short courses in Sydney!
Do you love to sing and want to boost your vocal confidence and ability? This 8-week beginner singing course will help you build confidence and establish strong vocal foundations to enjoy singing even more! No prior singing or musical experience is required, just a willingness to explore and challenge your voice with others who share the same goal!
This course goes beyond simple sing-alongs. You’ll learn key vocal concepts and practice exercises designed to strengthen and coordinate the elements of healthy vocal production. These skills will improve your vocal efficiency when singing your favourite songs.
We’ll cover essential topics like breathing, posture, vowel sounds, jaw and tongue positioning, vocal registers, and performance skills. The course is designed to be inspiring and supportive, creating an environment where you can explore your vocal potential.
In each class, you’ll sing songs as a group, gaining confidence in applying the concepts you’re learning.
By the end of the course, you’ll have the option to perform a song in front of the class in week 8. While this is optional, it provides a clear goal for applying everything you’ve learned.

Chris said: Although I only attended 50% of classes, I found the techniques Luke taught us, his patience, feedback and positive encouragement excellent. The course was great and the class gelled wonderfully very much due to Luke creating an environment where we felt safe to sing. Unfortunately the room was absolutely freezing ... not a heater in sight.

Minh said: Absolutely fantastic, highly enjoyable and engaging. Was quite evident with student retention from start to finish! Has improved my vocal range and most importantly given me so much more confidence and motivation to practice and just enjoy singing. As suggested by the end of the class - we'd love a beginner's choir course to be facilitated by Luke, certain that we can easily rack up the minimum 6 count.

Monica said: Loved this course. Went in thinking I could never sing in front of an audience but finished with a solo performance. Who would have thought it! Luke was a great teacher. Just the right mix of theory and practice and lots of fun. He made it non-threatening and encouraged all students to do their best and gave constructive feedback to each of us. He is a very generous person both with his time and with his knowledge. I would recommend this course for anyone who just loves to sing for the sake of it. The class thought it would be good to follow this with a choir just for beginners, nothing too serious, just a chance to practice and have some fun. I understand there is already a college choir but it is by audition only and seems to be classical. I'm looking for something a bit less formal. I hope the college takes on this suggestion. Luke said he would be prepared to lead it if there was enough interest and the college was happy to do it.
