I believe everyone can sing. Each person's voice is a unique instrument and it is a joy train, encourage and promote artistic expression. I love helping singers from all genres increase their power, stamina, vocal range, dynamics and enjoyment.

Vocal Technique (Pop to Classical)
Audition Preparation (Singers, Actors & Instrumentalists)
Music, Aural Skills, Sight reading
Over the last 12 years I have successfully trained numerous singers from various genres. My teaching focuses on each student as an individual and works towards empowering the student to sing the way they dream of. My technique promotes healthy, sustainable and adaptable singing. I work closely with students to formulate a focused plan for their singing goals. This empowers each singer to choose the way they want to sing. The possibilities are endless.

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Over the last year, Leva improved enormously in her singing confidence. The best fact, which is testament to Matthew's the great voice teaching is that Leva was accepted to Trinity Laban Conservatoire! A big thank you goes to you: Mr Ward!
Matt is the consummate professional: he is not only able to produce singing techniques that I immediately was able to apply - and what a difference it made - but also audition techniques. As an actor, I could not recommend him more highly and although singing is not my main career, have decided to continue with lessons as the lessons have helped in my general audition technique.
Matt is a gifted communicator, whose passion for voice and drama ignites an audience. I have previously organised and attended an intense vocal workshop training, in which the content and delivery was at an exceptional world class standard.
Matt the magic man!
Matt's rapport with the students and knowledge of his craft is always outstanding, and the pupils have benefited enormously... His philosophy of making the arts accessible to all students, has provided clear and positive outcomes for every pupil involved.
My greatest commendation of Matt is with regards to his ability to work with people of all experience levels, age and background. He possesses a beautiful humility amidst his considerable proficiency and has always led others on and off the stage with maturity, conviviality and respect.
