From finding your voice to owning every song

Soul & Gospel Singing

Soul & Gospel Singing

Our  Soul & Gospel Singing Lessons are ideal for those who would like to explore Soul and gospel vocal styles and repertoire.

Soul music's roots lie in gospel and rhythm & blues - but it was artists like Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin who really made the world sit up and listen. By the 1960s the Tamla/Motown labels were releasing hit after hit from the likes of The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, The Jackson Five and many more. You will learn the fundamentals of gospel and soul singing and musicianship as well as understanding the history and origins of these vibrant singing genres. Each repertoire-focused lesson will pull the group together to create an authentic unified rhythm and blues sound.

Our singing classes are taught in a fun and supportive environment and most of the time you will be singing in a group, although occasionally you will have the opportunity to sing on your own to check your progress.
