What it's like to work with me.

Real feedback from students and clients: beginners, working professionals and touring performers alike.

"Thank you for all your help! I booked Coleman for an alternative band I'm managing, and I've seen massive improvement since the members started having vocal coaching with him. He was so professional with the delivery of the lessons that he even sent audio and PDFs of the exercises so we could remember what to do every day. Within two weeks of regular practice following his advice, the members who'd never sung before found their singing voice and could reach notes I would never have thought they could. The members who could already sing developed better breath control and a better use of mixed head and chest voice, giving them much more power. And all this with not many lessons. He's even helped them arrange their vocals and harmonies in some of their original songs and covers. Coleman is definitely a keeper!"

"Firstly, he's got a heart of gold. Second, he's got a beautiful soul. Third, it's so much fun to work with him! He's patient, and I love the way he teaches. He makes it so interesting that you want to listen to what he says, and it stays in your head too. I recommend him with my hand on my heart."

"I've worked with Coleman for almost two years. What makes him special is his approach to teaching, methodically rigorous, yet also fun. He's highly knowledgeable about both classic and modern songs, and has a great ability to understand each student's unique style and identify areas for improvement. I'd strongly recommend him to professionals and hobbyists alike!"

"It’s such a pleasure to work with Coleman. He has helped me so much with vocal safety and technique. He really knows what he is talking about and was able to listen to and acknowledge my personal struggles and work specifically to my needs. He comes with a really warm, friendly and non-judgmental attitude so I felt super comfortable and not afraid to make mistakes or get things wrong. He has given me many tools and exercises I can take outside of the lessons and use for my performance based work. I’d highly recommend."

"Coleman is a lovely guy and a fantastic vocal coach. He creates a safe environment for learning and tunes into how I learn best/ how I’m showing up on the day. He’s super knowledgeable, celebrates my wins and lessons are SO much fun. I always leave feeling super buzzed and excited to practice/learn more :)

We’ve only been having lessons for a couple months and I’ve noticed significant improvement in my ability and confidence. I’m excited to keep going with it! Couldn’t recommend highly enough!!!! :)"
