Mel Toy Music - Vocal Coach / Singing Teacher

Mel is a superbly supportive singing teacher / voice coach. She builds confidence, extends ability, concentrates her boundless energy on encouraging one to "have a go" at pushing boundaries and trying something new (which may be difficult or demanding but, one finds, is never impossible). Mel makes every lesson fun. She ensures that one concentrates on technique so that one can enjoy making the best sound possible. She explains, clearly and interestingly, what the voice can do and how best to...

I decided to take regular private classes with Mel after a few one to one sessions. Mel is very enthusiastic and passionate about what she does and she really goes out her way to understand her students and to help them achieve their vocal and performance goals. It's an extremely comfortable learning environment as she not only motivates but she also educates her students. She knows exactly what she's doing! To describe in 3 words she explains, educates and inspires! You rock Mel!

Mel is an amazing singing teacher! After just 3 lessons I can sing notes I never thought I could with the resistance and strength I never thought I had! She gives you amazing techniques to work on exactly what you need to improve and makes you feel comfortable every step of the way! She's fun, knowledgeable and passionate! Thanks Mel!

I've had Singing Lessons with Mel for 2 years. Over that time my Confidence has increased immensely, along side a greater understanding of not only the mechanics of Singing but also an understanding of Performance Anxiety (something that I had struggled with for a long time) . Every lesson is unique, fun and relaxed but also informative and educational. I always feel like I have breakthrough moment at some point during every lesson. I highly recommend. TW.
