Who can take part in private lessons?
Anyone from 6 years of age with an interest in mainstream/contemporary music; Pop, Rock, Indie, Country, Folk, Jazz, Blues, Soul, Gospel or Musical Theatre can participate. Lessons will suit the individual needs from beginner students to professional vocalists.
Lessons for under 12s are tailored to suit the needs of younger students, setting realistic aims and building up their vocal experience. Students 13 and over will experience a much higher level of training to push their development towards their future aspirations.
If you are looking for a hobby, lessons can be provided in a relaxing atmosphere, singing for fun whilst learning interesting facts and techniques about the voice and yourself.
How do I book a lesson?
Lessons can be booked by contacting Carrie by message, email or phone - head to Contact Us for details. We would recommend contacting at least 1 week before for a specific day or booking time. However, we will try to cater for students at short notice.
How do I pay for a lesson/session?
Lessons should be paid for by bank transfer before the lesson/activity takes place unless you request to pay through our Zettle card reader onsite. Check our T&Cs for more information or ask your teacher.
How do I cancel a lesson?
48 hours notice must be given to cancel a private lesson without charge. If you have an emergency which prevents you from being able to attend please inform Pro Vox ASAP and we will do our best to rearrange your lesson for another day/time in the same week, depending on the availability of the teacher. To avoid charge you must still have your usual lesson slot the following week. If you have any queries regarding the cancellation policy please check the T&Cs or Contact Us / email carrie@pro-vox.net.

Anybody who has been taking regular training for 3 months or more can take part in London College of Music Singing Exams. Carrie will assess students individually (alongside the student's singing teacher) and discuss genre/grade options for any exam seasons.
Who can take part in performances/events?
All Pro Vox students will be offered the chance to take part in performances and events. Please be aware that for smaller scale events, students who have been attending the longest and most regularly will receive first priority to the available places.
Are staff DBS Checked?

Can a parent observe a private vocal lesson?
Any new students 12 years or under are more than welcome to bring a parent into their first lesson. We often advise against this as younger students can be put off with a parent in the lesson. But if your child would feel more comfortable with you observing the first, please let us know during your booking enquiry.
