They stroll into the room, sit at the piano, and whatever the session throws at them—they’re ready.
As a singing teacher, vocal coach or pop choir director, your piano playing isn’t primarily about entertaining an audience, dazzling examiners, writing a mega-hit, or mastering impressive classical repertoire.
You don't need to be an impressive blend of Herbie Hancock, Alicia Keys, and Lang Lang.
(And actually, impressive piano can get in the way.)
No… you simply need to be able to give your students the lesson of their life — so they leave happy, inspired and return for another session the week after.
And the piano is one of the best tools for helping you do just that.
Which means you only really need 2 things :
A specific set of piano techniques, based on YOUR teaching
The ability to play and listen simultaneously, without losing focus on your student
Once you understand this, learning the piano stops feeling like this huge mountain to conquer — and becomes something achievable.
You Need Two Things. That’s It.
World-Class Piano? Optional. World-Class Teaching? Essential.
It’s not about becoming the next concert star. It’s about becoming the kind of teacher your students never forget.
If you’re working as a singing teacher, vocal coach, or pop choir director, you don't need to be a dazzling blend of Herbie Hancock, Alicia Keys, and Lang Lang.
(And actually, impressive piano can get in the way.)
Because in real teaching? You don’t need world-class piano skills across the board.
You need world-class teaching skills—supported by piano.
Which means:
Carefully chosen set of piano techniques, based on your actual studio needs
The ability to play and listen simultaneously, without losing focus on your students
And that’s it.
Concert=pianist standard , jazz improv extraorinaire is not necessary.
Making your audience feel so strongly inside they remember both you and the moment long after it’s over is the ideal. And indeed a special thing to achieve.
Being able to listne and
You may not need to learn everything - just the stuff necessary for your music and your singing dreams.
Where to start? Have something to say and connect to your true self. And get a bunch of vocal tools embedded so firmly in your voice, your focus can be entirely on the song and the moment.
Give your audience the moment of their life - they’ll never forget you.

The Piano’s Useful. But Is It Worth the Agony?
Right now, you’re not one of those teachers who can just stroll to the piano and make magic happen.
(Not yet anyway.)
But you’d sure love to be!
And chances are, you’ve already had a go— with Piano lessons, YouTube videos. Maybe even a book or two.
And yet here you are.
Still feeling like you’re missing something essential.
Because learning piano for teaching singing is different from learning piano the standard way.
Same instrument. Different goal.
Most piano teachers (quite rightly) teach you how to play the piano—repertoire, touch, improvisation, chords.
You? You need something else entirely.
You need piano that…
☑ Supports your student's voice—not your performance
☑ Energises the room with rhythmic patterns, not heavy-handed playing
☑ Lets you listen and adjust without staring at the keys
☑ Sounds musical—even on that battered school keyboard with 6 dead notes
☑ Subtly guides melody, phrasing, and energy
☑ Brings out artistry and emotional confidence in your singers
☑ Moves easily through all keys—because warm-ups and pop songs won’t wait
☑ Feels authentic across pop, gospel, musical theatre, and rock grooves
☑ Makes your students feel like they’re making music—not just completing exercises
ou want to be able to look a song chart and draw out the in that moment song story from your student. Whether that be a meloncholy reflective narration on week 1 to match the colours and register arabuou have been focusing on.
FOMO 1 . And actually this is the wrong direction. You’re not putting in a piano recital. And many popular song put you in a box . You don’t want to be in a box. You want to be accompanying (a very different skill and mindset to playing the notes).
Y
Or next week a more spiritedly audience interactive speech quality phrasing brighter - shifting up a key. The pong is you’re a vocal coach not a piranha player. And the piano is meant to help you coach. And the limitations of tracks (I’m not against tracks at all!) but they put you in a fixed box. Where as in the prep stage . On the piano you can shift the tempo, the key, the mood and Instantly! And, if you can play without being piano focused ‘the talk test’ adding some guidance and coaching mid song. Allows you to a) draw out a very special song delivery for. The student and b) apply those technical techniques. THEAS are the things students will return to . Because they can upload and sing a long to a track at home. But helping them experience technical control MID song and connecting to story is tricky to do indepentlay. Thai making of music together is of invaluable for live performance skills.
(Not for- a true accompanist - notation, this is a longer road of study. And, piano lessons ARE. An excellent starting point. This is for working with popular song styles — gospel, pop, musical theatre, rock,
Or you have a handle on chord stapes. And theoretically they are accurate . But authentic for the style ? Questionable? Inspiring? Definitely not .
What you would love is to have a pick up and play spontentialtu. So when your student brings in that random chord chart printed online — you know a) what to lok for and b) how to make unit sound like the original song (even if the original song is guitar bass drums ) so you get that face lit up from your student as they recognise it both recognise the song and are super excited to sing it. THESE are the reasons students often stay. Although they understand logically that the exercises is great. Being able to bring it out in song IN THE SAFE EOACE of your singing g leson is super thrilling:
When you accompany students live—even simply—you can:
🎵 Shape their phrasing with subtle shifts in rhythm and feel
🎵 Encourage richer vocal colours by adjusting dynamics and pedal use
🎵 Highlight lyric meaning by how you shape and time the harmony
🎵 Loop tricky sections naturally until they land it (no clunky restarts)
🎵 Slow down or lift the groove when needed—without breaking the flow
Backing tracks can’t do this.
Only a human musician can.
You don’t need to be a cross between Herbie Hancock, Alicia Keys, and Lang Lang.
(And actually. Impressive piano skills can lead to overplaying )
You just need the piano to serve your real job:
Helping your students sound better.
Helping them feel more confident.
Helping them connect with their
You only need two things:
A specific, targeted set of piano techniques for your niche
The ability to play and listen simultaneously—without losing focus
That’s it.
No grand sonatas required.
No endless detours into dusty theory books.
Just the piano working for you—quietly, powerfully, and instinctively.
Once you understand this,
learning piano stops feeling like agony—
and starts feeling like the best decision you ever made for your teaching life.

There are 3 pathways inside the studio—depending on where you’re starting from and what you want to unlock:
Level 1: Piano + Patterns (£295) — Build musical warm-ups, simple accompaniments, and rhythmic patterns without needing full notation.

so you can actually support modern vocal styles.
✔ Develop your stylistic palette (pop, gospel, MT, rock)

✔ Learn to “speak” the music your students actually sing
② Songs + Styles (£450)

☑ You want to get away from “block chords” and bring groove, feel, and energy to your accompaniments
☑ You don’t want to over-rehearse pieces—you want to interpret them, like a real vocal coach
Best if: You’re already playing but want it to sound more professional, stylistic, and singer-friendly
③ Career Curation
This track is for singing teachers who are already skilled—but scattered. You can play, but you’re undercharging, blending in, or unsure how to stand out. We help you design a clear, signature identity, so your piano skills amplify your reputation, not just accompany your students. This is where confidence, clarity, and creativity finally align.
Includes Level 1 & 2

✔ Position yourself as a specialist
✔ Develop your signature approach
✔ Use the piano to express your teaching identity and open new doors
Everything is designed with your teaching reality in mind.

☑ You’ve got the skills—but not the clarity
☑ You play, teach, maybe even direct… but it’s all a bit reactive, underpaid, and invisible
☑ You want to reposition yourself with a clear specialism and a confident voice
☑ You’re ready to use the piano to signal your value—to clients, choirs, collaborators, and opportunities
Best if: You’re ready to stop blending in and start getting referred for the good stuff

We help you design a clear, signature identity, so your piano skills amplify your reputation, not just accompany your students. This is where confidence, clarity, and creativity finally align.

Is This the Right Fit for You?
Who This Is For
Classical Voice Teachers who are stuck when accompanying popular style song
Singing teachers from a dance or theatre background, new to piano
Singing Teachers who have tried — and abandoned — standard piano lessons and courses
Vocal coaches with little enthusiasm for the piano but can sense they are missing out
Vocal pedagogy experts who fumble through key shifts and are limited in patterns
Pop Choir Directors who have to bring in an accompanist or need piano to get a new role
Skilled teachers who get passed over and ignored
Departmental teachers, mortified when playing in-front of colleagues
If you’ve ever frozen at the thought of accompanying a student…
If you can technically play, but it sounds stiff, robotic, or too classical…
If you can get by, but you’re sick of feeling second-rate compared to more “musical” teachers…
If you want to sound professional and flexible, without spending hours every week practicing…
☑ Singing teachers, vocal coaches, workshop leaders, and pop choir directors
☑ Who want practical, stylish piano skills to support teaching — not pass classical piano exams
☑ Who are ready to slot creative piano challenges into their busy week (no fantasy schedules required)
☑ Who want to coach singers dynamically across styles, not just deliver set tracks
Slowing down a melody so a student can actually learn it
Adding that "Magnetic Hands" touch at the piano to match your vocal finesse
Switching up warm-up patterns mid-session
Bringing a sleepy group to life with a “bouncing bass” line
Sitting down and shaping a song on the spot—structure, rhythm, energy
Lead a warm-up creatively and professionally
Guide a song rehearsal musically, without hesitation
Shift keys, styles, and moods with ease
Who This Is Not For
🅇 You want traditional piano grades or solo classical piano performance skills
🅇 You don’t teach singing or work with vocal groups
🅇 You want a course focused on learning how to teach singing (this is about piano for teaching)
🅇 You’re a beginner singer looking for vocal lessons (this won’t teach you how to sing)
🅇 You don’t have access to a keyboard or piano at all
🅇 You prefer only in-person teaching and don’t like online learning (there is a Central London 121 upgrade option)
🅇 You aren't willing to practice even a little between sessions (this is an action studio, not passive learning)
In this unique "over the shoulder" training, you'll watch as I perform a total makeover of one of my private client's email newsletter.

Dear singing teacher
You probably already know that your email newsletter is the lifeblood of your business…
You probably already know that better piano would help you with your singing teaching
Its a way to connect with a
Its a way to independantkly marke your singing teac
It's how you communicate with your audience
It's how you demonstrate your expertise
It's how you stay top of mind
And if you do it the right way…
Your students will and you will establish yourself
It's your writing that turns your audience into diehard fans who naturally want to buy everything you sell.
But there’s a problem…
Most singing teachers go about learning the piano in the wrong way
they study pieces
they work on scales
They’re not interesting
Nobody remembers you in the inbox
Few people read to the end or click
They’re hard to read
Your personality doesn’t shine through
The result:
they STILL have to spend serious time practicing uo just one piece
they
lots of unsubscribes
low open/click rates
low sales
And they don’t feel like they now what they are doing
And you don’t make any money.
Oops.

I have
I've made a name for myself as an email specialist over the last 12+ years and made tens of millions of dollars from email alone.
And going to help you revamp your newsletter, so that:
you can play authentic
you cam make (an underated skill - for teaching, simple and musical beats flashy and out of control everby time
people see your name in the inbox and instantly click
your open and click through rates go through the roof
you teach unforgettable lessons that make people open every email you send
your inbox is flooded with replies
you create a buzz around your brand
When you have control over your playing — and have made intentional decosn around what you do and don’t want to do,, it becomes much clearer what yiur teaching specialist nicge is about
This means fellow teachers are more likely to refer you, the good-fit studnets are more likel to end up your way - and stay for longer. Building up meaningful relationship (it’s a two way thing after all(
When you write a great newsletter, your audience becomes intimately familiar with what you do.
This means that you teaching studio rarely has to advertise - they come to you
And thise interestin, invisible career opportunities and projects are more likely to cone yoru way
This means that when you come to offer products for sale, your readers want what you’re selling, and will often
Buy without even reading the sales page!
And I'm going to teach you exactly how to do this.
In Piano for Singing Teachers we show you how to do this.
How it works.
Here’s the deal…
Recently, I started working with a new private client whose email writing was in serious need of a revamp.
I subscribed to his list (as I always do with clients), read his emails, and wrote a huge long list of improvements to pass on.
But then I thought…
Why don’t I document the process?
So I created Newsletter Revamp, where you get to follow along as I perform a full makeover of my client’s newsletter:
How to choose what to write about in your newsletters (get this wrong and no one will want to buy anything from you)
How to make your writing more memorable (this keeps people reading and open rates high)
How to write with a “code” that convinces readers they need what you’re selling (this is the easiest way to increase sales)
How to use your personal story to create super fans (who also buy your stuff)
My secret “mapping” technique that makes what you teach in your emails unforgettable
The vital final step you must take before sending every email (skip this and your emails won't get read by 50%+ of people)
How to write in a way that makes readers feel “this was written for me” (this makes it impossible not to open your emails)
How to make personality ooze off the page so that the reader feels “I feel like I know you!” (this creates a strong bond with your audience)
What to include in your emails so that people read your emails, instead of your the competition (this is so simple, but most people don't want to do it)
What to say so people read to the end of your emails (this alone will skyrocket your clicks and sales)
How and why to use visuals in emails (hardly anyone does this, but people won’t buy your products without it)
There's a certain type of word you need to use more often. (I'll tell you what it is and what to do with it)
How long your emails, paragraphs and even sentences should be. (I shouldn't be this prescriptive, but I am!)
You’ll see the before and after — exactly how I would change every aspect of his writing.
But you’ll also hear my thinking and rationale — I’ll walk you through WHY I make the changes I do, so you can get inside my mind.
Lastly, I’ll also give you exercises to do the same thing for your own writing.
The result is called Newsletter Revamp, and it’s available right now…

How it works
This is a pre-recorded course and you will receive instant access when you join.
This is a challenge based
It comes in a series of “over the shoulder” videos where you will see me transform my client’s newsletter.

You’ll get lifetime access to the programme, so you can follow along, or go through it later — whatever suits you.
It’s a no-stress
You are also free to pass this on to your team, so they can learn to write great newsletters too.

Is This For Me?
This course is for you if:
you have an email newsletter and want to improve it
you want to learn how to write effectively for an online audience
you don't currently send an email newsletter, but know you need to start
you want to protect your personal brand in the face of the great AI erosion
It will help if:
You don’t know what you should be writing about in your emails
Should you be teaching or telling stories?
You want to sell, but how do you do it in a cool way?
You’re not a confident writer or worried about criticism
What This Is NOT
This course focuses on writing email newsletters that teach your expertise, build a deep relationship with your audience, and generate superfans who buy everything you release.
It is not a complete email marketing course, and will not cover:
product launch sequences
evergreen email funnels
writing sales email
What if…
instead of having to spend 3 weeks practicing up just ONE song
—and feeling totally overwhelmed at the thought of having to do that every time.
You could encourage your students to bring in new chord charts and song sheet music knowing that you could immediately play a musical and stylistically appropriate accompaniment
play a musical , supportive and stylistically authentic piano accompaniment on the spot. Changing the key if necessary, and getting your student to develop their song story and performance presence through experimenting with tempo, feel and arrangement.
What if you could sing magnificently, at any time, have the unshakeable confidence to back yourself fully as a singer, have a recognisable sound and style that makes others reach out to you instead of having to constantly push out, a voice that attracts collaborators, effortlessly builds an audience, and gives you a constant “I -love-your-voice” feedback from whoever listens to you sing?

You already know the piano is one of the most powerful tools you can have in your teaching studio…
It’s how you lead warmups and exercises
It’s how you teach musical phrasing and storytelling
It’s how you unlock real artistry and style — not just technique
And if you do it the right way…
It’s your piano playing that turns lessons from “good enough” into life-changing.
But there’s a problem…
Most singing teachers were never properly taught how to play piano for teaching.
They get stuck trying to:
Play from sheet music (and panic when the student wants a different key)
Sight-read complicated accompaniments
Stick to rigid patterns that kill musicality
Fall back on backing tracks when the piano would create a deeper connection
The result:
You feel restricted
Your students sound mechanical, not musical
You lose confidence in leading
And lessons feel more stressful than they need to be
Give Your Piano Skills a Full Makeover!
Over the past 25+ years, I’ve used the piano to teach singing — no perfection, no overwhelm — just the right kind of playing that brings singing to life.
And now, I’m going to show you how to revamp your piano skills so that:
You sit down at the piano and lead confidently
You create rhythmic, beautiful exercises (even with simple triads)
You show students how to phrase and groove — not just sing “correctly”
You adapt quickly, flow with the lesson, and unlock real artistry
You sound like the expert you are — not an uncertain accompanist
Because when you play the piano the right way for teaching…
You don't just run lessons — you transform singers.
And I’m going to teach you exactly how to do it.
So I created Piano for Singing Teachers — a step-by-step training where you get to follow along as I transform the way singing teachers use the piano:
How to think like a teaching musician, not a “proper pianist”
How to play musical warmups and exercises without overcomplicating
How to build stylish rhythmic patterns that make singing more alive
How to create quick, beautiful accompaniments for pop, MT, jazz, and beyond
How to adapt keys, tempos, and styles without getting flustered
How to groove and phrase so your students naturally sound better
How to use the piano to teach expression — not just pitch and rhythm
How to “cover up” mistakes and flow confidently (students don't need to see your panic!)
How to read chord sheets with ease and style
How to feel proud of your musical leadership at the piano
You’ll see exactly how I teach singing teachers — and why this approach works — so you can get inside my mind and apply it to your own studio straight away.
Plus, I’ll give you exercises to transform your playing lesson by lesson.
