Styles We Teach

Contemporary Singing Styles

At Manhattan Music School, we specialize in modern and contemporary singing styles. Whatever genre speaks to you, we'll help you master the vocal techniques specific to that style.

Our singing lessons cover all contemporary styles including Pop & Rock, Soul & R&B, Jazz & Blues, Country, Metal, and Musical Theatre. Whatever style you're passionate about, we'll tailor your singing lessons to help you achieve that sound. Many of our singing students also learn guitar to accompany themselves.

Our Singing Lesson Curriculum

At Manhattan Music School, our singing lessons cover everything you need to become a confident, skilled vocalist.

Breathing & Breath Support

Proper breathing is the cornerstone of good singing. We'll teach you diaphragmatic breathing techniques, breath control and support, managing breath for long phrases, and building vocal stamina. Learn to breathe from your diaphragm and abdominal area for powerful, consistent vocals.

Vocal Technique & Range

Develop your voice through vocal warm-ups, expanding your range safely, mastering chest voice, head voice, and mixed voice, improving pitch accuracy and tone control, and developing projection and vocal agility. We'll strengthen your voice across your entire range.

Articulation & Pronunciation

Learn clear, powerful delivery through improved diction and enunciation, vowel shapes and mouth positioning, consonant clarity, and singing with expression and emotion. Use your mouth, palate, and vowel tones to create professional-sounding vocals.

Performance Skills

Own the stage with proper microphone technique, stage presence and movement, connecting with your audience, and overcoming performance anxiety. We'll help you develop the confidence to be a captivating performer.

Vocal Health & Care

Protect your instrument by learning proper vocal warm-up and cool-down routines, avoiding strain and damage, staying hydrated, and maintaining correct posture. We'll teach you how to care for your voice so you can sing for a lifetime.

VOCAL COACHING APPROACH

Our Teaching Philosophy for Singers

At Manhattan Music School, we believe everyone can learn to sing. While some have a natural ear for music, singing is a skill developed through proper technique, practice, and guidance.

Our vocal coaches create a supportive, judgment-free environment where students feel comfortable exploring their voices. We work at a pace that suits you while gently pushing you to grow.

Understanding music theory is also valuable for singers — many of our vocal students complement their training with piano lessons to strengthen their ear and musicianship.

All our singing teachers are qualified with AMEB, Rockschool, or ANZCA accreditations.
