At Armstrong's School of Singing, we teach our professional singers healthy vocal development across all styles. Our lessons are designed to accomplish and maintain vocal freedom, putting an end to concerns about your range, reliability, versatility and vocal wellbeing. Whether you are a professional wanting to improve and learn how to keep your voice healthy and performance ready all year round, or if you want to work on your performance material, at Armstrong’s we can help you!
Equip you with the “tools” to make everyday a great singing day, ensuring your voice remains reliable
Put a halt to your anxiety over being able to make it through a week-long performance schedule
Allow you to end a season of singing or tour whilst still retaining that fresh voice

All students new to Armstrong’s cover an initial 10 vocal modules, irrespective of ability. Our singing modules teach you not just how to sing in a “safe” manner, but how to build your voice every day. These modules will also build upon your current skills helping with range increases, quality improvements (e.g. elimination of breaks & cracks), while preserving your distinctive voice.

The Armstrong’s School of Singing initial lesson plan is underpinned by the knowledge that quality singing is a balance between mind, body and emotion. For this reason, we feel it is important for students to be educated what, but how and why! The ‘why’ is what gives performers the ability to make improvements and developments for themselves, a skill that is imperative for the professional singer.
