Music Lessons

Lessons with Cal

Explore your voice, develop your sound, and discover confidence through music. I offer one-to-one coaching in singing, guitar, and songwriting — online or in-person in Guildford.

🎙️ Singing Lessons

Whether you’re just starting out or refining an advanced technique, my vocal coaching is designed to meet you where you are. We’ll focus on confidence, vocal health, range, resonance, expression, and your unique style — with space for artistry and emotional connection.

Lessons are tailored to your goals, whether that’s gigging, recording, auditioning, or singing just for the joy of it.

🎸 Guitar Lessons

Learn acoustic guitar in a way that supports your voice and your creative flow. We’ll build strong rhythm, chord transitions, fingerpicking, and song-based playing. Perfect for singer-songwriters, beginners, and those looking to accompany themselves more confidently.

Whether you’re learning covers, writing originals, or just playing for pleasure, these lessons are supportive and adaptive.

📝 Songwriting Lessons

Explore your own creative voice through songwriting. Whether you’re processing something personal or crafting lyrics for performance, we’ll look at structure, storytelling, melody writing, and emotional delivery. You don’t need to be able to play an instrument — just bring your ideas and curiosity.

Teaching Methodology

My teaching approach is Student Centred learning. Music is a discovery, not an end goal. Together we will find your authentic musical self.

Exploring many aspects of music, we’ll move through:

• Building: Creating a solid technical and musical understanding and foundation focused on comfort and ease.
• Balance: Continuing with balancing technical abilities with expressive and stylistic elements.
• Exploration: Playing with colour, tone and musical authenticity with extreme and advanced singing such as belting and distortion from a place of balance and vocal heath.
• Play: Performance coaching with sole focus on expression, connection and emoting in studio and live environments.

To best support you on your musical path, I would recommend the following:
