Singing is one of the most natural and enjoyable ways for children to make music.
It builds confidence, improves memory and concentration, and helps develop strong communication skills.
At Shropshire Music Service, our vocal lessons give pupils the chance to discover their voice, explore different styles, and gain the skills to perform with pride.
Lessons are led by our team of experienced vocal tutors who create a fun, encouraging environment for singers of all ages and abilities.
We focus on developing strong vocal technique and healthy singing habits that will support their voice for years to come.
Whether your child loves pop, musical theatre, classical, or contemporary songs, our tutors help them discover their unique sound and style.
We cover essential skills such as breathing control, posture, tone, and pitch, while also encouraging expression, confidence, and storytelling through song.
Lessons are relaxed, engaging, and tailored to each child’s age and experience – helping them understand how their voice works and how to use it safely and creatively.
For beginners, singing lessons are a wonderful way to build confidence and self-expression.
For more advanced pupils, our tutors can guide them through graded exams, auditions, or performance opportunities in school and county-wide events.
Lessons are available one-to-one or in small groups, allowing each student to develop at their own pace.
Every session is designed to be positive, creative, and fun, helping young singers grow not just as musicians, but as confident performers ready to share their voice with the world.
Singing also encourages teamwork and creativity, especially when pupils perform together in choirs or ensembles.
We offer many opportunities to take part in concerts, festivals and workshops, where children can share their progress and enjoy making music as part of a group.
Most of all, vocal lessons are about joy, helping children connect with music, express emotion, and experience the thrill of performing.
With the right guidance and encouragement, every child can find confidence in their voice and pride in their achievements.
Of course you may have questions that you would prefer to talk to us about.

Most children can begin singing lessons from around age seven, when they’re able to concentrate, follow instructions, and control their voice safely. For younger children, we offer early years music experiences that build confidence, rhythm, and pitch awareness in a relaxed setting and support for vocal activities in schools.
Our tutors tailor each session to the child’s age and development, starting with simple songs, breathing exercises, and rhythm activities before introducing more focused vocal work. As they progress, lessons develop to include posture, diction, tone, and expressive performance. Singing from an early age helps children build musical awareness and gives them a lifelong connection to music and creativity.
We teach a wide range of styles to suit every child’s taste and ability. Pupils can explore pop, musical theatre, classical, folk, or contemporary music, and many try several genres before finding the one they love most.
Lessons are flexible and designed around each pupil’s voice and personality. Tutors help children understand how different styles use the voice in unique ways, encouraging versatility and creativity. From performing their favourite songs to learning stage confidence, every lesson is about helping them enjoy singing in the way that feels right for them.
No previous experience is needed, just enthusiasm and a love of singing. Many children join our lessons having never sung outside school assemblies or on journeys in the car and quickly discover how capable they are.
Our tutors specialise in building confidence from the very first session, focusing on enjoyment and small achievements that help pupils feel comfortable using their voice. Over time, they develop skills in breathing, pitch control, rhythm, and musical awareness. For those already singing regularly, lessons provide the structure and feedback to help them progress even further.
Absolutely. We believe performing is a vital part of learning to sing. Pupils have opportunities to take part in school concerts, choir performances, and local or county-wide events throughout the year.
Performing helps children gain self-belief, learn teamwork, and experience the excitement of sharing their music with others. For those who prefer smaller audiences, tutors can arrange informal showcases or classroom performances to build confidence gradually. Many pupils go on to join our workshops or music groups, where they can perform regularly as part of a larger group.
Yes, when they’re ready. Our tutors can guide pupils through graded vocal exams with recognised boards such as ABRSM or LCM. These exams are optional but can be a great way to set goals, measure progress, and celebrate achievement.
Exam preparation includes learning set pieces, developing aural skills, and sight-singing, all taught in a supportive and encouraging way. Tutors make sure the experience is positive and pressure-free, focusing on building confidence as much as skill. For some pupils, exams provide valuable milestones; for others, performing or songwriting may be their preferred route – and we’ll support whichever path suits your child best.
