I'm looking for a singing teacher for my almost 8 year old son. He's really into popular/chart music and would like to learn singing rather than a musical instrument. I'm keen to find someone that can teach him the fundamentals of music through singing, and the sorts of songs that he likes (rather than classical or through being in a choir). Ideally it would be a male teacher, but it doesn't have to be. We live in Sydenham and can't cope with travelling to far for lessons, so either someone locally or who can come to our house.


Any got any personal experiences or recommendations?


thanks

Nicky.

Thanks for that recommendation. I haven't heard of Musico South, but it sounds interesting. It's a pity there is an upfront fee of ?45, but as it's for the whole family and one-off, it could well be worth it, as I have 3 kids, and possible interest in myself brushing up my piano skills.
Choir singing is a lot of fun and you learn a lot of musical skills through taking part. Also, a good choir leader will be able to suggest further appropriate musical opportunities and probably an individual tutor. Also, they don't necessarily sing only classical repertoire. See this repertoire page of a great local children's choir for one example http://www.beckenhamjuniorchoir.co.uk/our-history.html?id=55
I don't disagree, i just know that i would find it hard to convey this to my son in order for him to agree to try such things. Plus, it's not easy fitting in and getting to these afterschool activities , especially if it's only for 1 out of 3 children. Thanks again, as i had not heard of that particular children's choir.

    • Defo, where are you based so I can collect?
    • There is no other way than to move out. I am in such a situation myself where our neighbours are complete assholes. They breached the Covenants and when we pointed it they said to take them to court if we want.  Unfortunately, they have made our life miserable and we have to move out.    What helped in our situation is having a calm conversation face to face. It only happened after they tasted their own medicine(i know it's mean but nothing else helps).   I know it's unfair but better move out and prioritise your mental health. 
    • Thank you so much for the reply. Jeffery turned up a couple of hours ago. I edited title to say found but somehow it didn't save. Thank you so much for going to the trouble of posting this sighting... even if it didn't turn out to be Jeff.  Jeff came running down the street like a bat out of hell and ran into the house. Never been so relieved. Mind you i've been up and down the roads shouting his name out all day. Even in Wingfield street. 🤗
    • I saw a smallish black cat outside 1 Wingfield Street just now.  I am not convinced it was Jeff, the eyes look a little different.
