Mark has been my voice coach for over two years now. I first approached him as I recovered from CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) and I had lost all power in my voice. I am a yoga teacher and I love chanting mantra. Despite loving singing since I was a child and being classically trained in music, I felt I lacked confidence and skill, I did not believe I could sing and that made me very self-conscious about my voice. I arrived very nervous to my first class with Mark, but very soon he put me at ease as he was treating my voice in such an objetive way. He quickly identified some technical issues and showed me the way to address them straight away. My voice literally improved after the first session. I soon regain my love and enjoyment for singing and I started incorporating jazz songs as well as sacred and medicine song into my repertoire. After two years my voice keeps improving with every single session. I am able to sing songs I never dreamt of and sometimes, when I feel my voice recorded, I can't even believe that I did that! I don't only sing all the time at home and with friends :-) but I also use my new voice skills professionally as I offer sound and chanting meditation classes and events. Even my speaking voice has improved, which is great for a teacher! I am forever grateful to Mark. I never thought I could learn to sing so fast and he's opened a world of possibilities with my voice that I am looking forward to keep pursuing. If you are serious about your voice, don't waste your time with other teachers, contact Mark straight away. I can't recommend him highly enough. More...

I am a full-time professional singer and musician performing between 170 - 200 shows per year across huge range of styles, not only as a solo acoustic wedding/corporate performer but as a hard rock/heavy metal frontman. I've needed a really rock solid vocal technique to make sure that I'm on my game every single night.My sessions with Mark JW Graham have been instrumental in maintaining and improving my performance standard. He is the only singing teacher I've ever worked with to actually deliver results and focus intensively on improving my voice. I have invested in cheaper voice coaches in the past but, while they offered some general singing advice, never actually helped in the long term - what sets Mark apart is that he was eager to get to work on my voice with minimal preamble and was able to identify straight away precisely what I was doing wrong and started giving me the steps to rectify it. A good 75% of my very first lesson was spent singing with him at the piano, and I felt the results almost immediately.As a result from regular sessions, I've been able to really trust my voice again. It's injected the joy back into my performance work and meant I've rediscovered the creative process, and I can't put a price on that.In short, save up for a lesson with Mark instead of spending the same amount of money on multiple sessions from a cheaper voice coach ;) More...

I am delighted with my experience of singing lessons with Mark. It was a leap of faith, I am not a performer but I love music and just wanted to try to sing for my own enjoyment. It has changed my life !
Thank you Mark

I have returned to singing and writing after a long break, and to extend my range joined a Gospel Choir. Being asked to sing a full-on screaming lead piece I found my throat being torn apart at every performance so went to Mark for help. He has not only shown me how to belt out Gospel without damage but is patiently showing me how to develop a much fuller and stronger voice. I recently finished a recording session with old bandmates that I do twice a year and they were astounded by how much more powerful and accurate my voice was becoming. A big thank you to Mark.

Can really recommend Mark for singing lessons. My daughter has only been receiving lessons since end May and has significantly improved. Mark makes the lessons fun and engaging and you can take away a recording each week to continue your learning until your next lesson. We can’t forget to mention the weekly emails which Mark sends with useful articles and information - always lovely to receive! You’ll not regret booking lessons with Mark .... you absolutely get what you pay for! And lastly .... I can only describe my daughter as “buzzing” after every lesson. More...

Mark is at the top of the game both in his breadth and depth of knowledge, and, in his customer service. It's rare that any business or individual are able to perform so well in both arenas!

Mark is a refreshing tonic to the stoic singing teachers I have had in the past. He is honest but such a positive encouraging teacher the past two years have seen my voice become loads more confident and given me faith in my ability TO sing. I may not be Beyonce but he has made me trust my voice and that it IS good. Highly recommend! More...

I remember my first lesson with Mark very well, I was super nervous and had zero confidence in myself as a singer. Mark has been working really hard with me, not only with my voice but also on my confidence! Fast forward 1 year and I'm now due to sing at my brothers wedding.He is worth EVERY penny! More...

Mark is an excellent teacher, delivering noticeable results seemingly instantaneously. I'm far more confident with my voice than I was when I started lessons with him just under a year ago but that's just part of the package that Mark brings to the table. From selecting the right key for a song, to building in tasteful riffs, Mark doesn't just teach you how to sing, he shows you how to make the song work for you, how to take advantage of the natural sweet spots built into your voice and really make songs come alive. Combine the rapid development of your vocal ability with the knowledge of how to tailor a song to exploit your strengths and you'll be itching to come back for another lesson time after time. Mark also is a very personable guy. You will feel valued as one of Mark's students, safe in the knowledge that he wants nothing more than for you to succeed in your goals. Good news then that he also is able to help you to reach them! More...

I first started singing lessons with Mark in September having sung regularly in church for the last 15 years but with no vocal training. I enjoy the sessions and particularly the extra depth in my voice that I got when practicing regularly. I am very aware that there is a sweetness in my voice that hasn’t been there before. I know for sure that the vocal coaching is making a big difference. More...
