Most singing schools and teachers want you to sing songs in their favourite genre or songs they are familiar with, NOT AT VSA!

All VSA students have full control over the genre and songs they choose to sing as long as the songs are in a suitable key for the students’ voice, vocal ability and can be sung with good technique and in a healthy manner.

VSA singing teachers will apply the techniques that you have learnt from your customised vocal scales work out directly into your songs. This is very similar, for instance for a football player who will directly apply the skills they learn during training sessions into the game on match day!

Your teacher will provide you with detailed instruction and notes to greatly help and guide you while you are practising away from class. These notes will be written on your lyrical sheet for the desired song, so you can follow our teachers’ instruction. At the teachers’ request, you will be required to bring your song choice back the following week to be reviewed by the teacher.

This is where you/we will see improvement if you have diligently practised and followed the instruction and notes documented on your lyric sheet by your teacher.

Singing lessons with VSA range from $35 to $80 per half an hour private singing lesson depending on the experience of the teacher.

Your Scales Workout

As a part of our vocal coaching and training, scales are an essential part of improving and strengthening your voice and vocal skills. Since 1993 VSA has carefully developed thousands of vocal singing scales that we guarantee will improve your voice if practice regularly and correctly. We understand that a one size fits all approach does not work as every singer is an individual and every singer is at a different skill level. Each singer and musical genre requires a different approach as does every voice.

All scales and duration of practice time are customised and tailored for every student’s personal needs, range, ability and music genre.

You will also learn pitch and ear training development exercises to ensure you are singing the right notes all the time.

Correct Breathing

Correct diaphragmatic support and breathing exercises will be given to all students. Your diaphragm is the engine room when singing. All your power, strength, projection, holding, support, vibrato, stamina and control ALL comes with proper diaphragmatic support and breathing. VSA will teach you how to correctly use your diaphragm for the maximum vocal benefit.

We will also work on V.B.C. (Vocal Breath Control) which is an advanced breathing technique invented by owner and director Peter Vox himself.

As you learn how to breathe properly through the diaphragm and abdominal area (The ‘V’ in the ribs), this breathing technique will enable you to control your vocal power as well as give you vocal strength and stamina to fully support every note you sing.
Breathing is a very important and essential part to a great singer.

Vocal Coaching

A Vocal Coach’s job or any coach for that matter is to keep you accountable. You will be reporting back to your teacher weekly regarding your singing and career progress. Also covering all aspects of vocal health and wellbeing. This will include your physical health, exercise regime, general health and diet. He will also include advice regarding performance stress, anxiety issues, voice and general anatomy, touring schedules and vocal regimes when touring, song choice and key preference, gig preparation and much much more!
