About us
The Singers Institute was created in 2019. The concept being that we would provide an acoustically pleasing space, with highly trained vocal coaches, who are industry professionals, with the current technical knowledge, outstanding talent, and a sympathetic and kind approach to coaching in a modern environment with no pressure on students, regardless of their age or their abilities.
We offer face to face, and online classes, 6 days a week. We try and cater for all budgets, with weekly and fortnightly classes available, and one off masterclasses, for working professionals, giving support and guidance to those going through the audition process.
The Singers Institute also has vocal and career mentoring online sessions with principal, Francesca Santamaria, to help clients navigate their way to the pinnacle of their chosen profession.
We train singers in all genres, from rock to opera and everything in between. Whether you want to be the next star of stage and screen, or simply sing away stress and anxiety, we have you covered.
No matter who you are, your voice is in safe hands with us.
