Adult beginner singing class at Sydney Community College with group vocal practice

Singing Lessons for Beginners


Learn how to sing with our music & singing short courses in Sydney!

Do you love to sing and want to boost your vocal confidence and ability? This 8-week beginner singing course will help you build confidence and establish strong vocal foundations to enjoy singing even more! No prior singing or musical experience is required, just a willingness to explore and challenge your voice with others who share the same goal!

This course goes beyond simple sing-alongs. You’ll learn key vocal concepts and practice exercises designed to strengthen and coordinate the elements of healthy vocal production. These skills will improve your vocal efficiency when singing your favourite songs.

We’ll cover essential topics like breathing, posture, vowel sounds, jaw and tongue positioning, vocal registers, and performance skills. The course is designed to be inspiring and supportive, creating an environment where you can explore your vocal potential.

In each class, you’ll sing songs as a group, gaining confidence in applying the concepts you’re learning. By the end of the course, you’ll have the option to perform a song in front of the class in week 8. While this is optional, it provides a clear goal for applying everything you’ve learned.
