Singing For Beginners
Getting Started With Vocal Lessons
Do you like the idea of exploring your singing but have a few hesitations about it? Do you feel like you’re a million miles away from having a good voice? Do you worry about whether or not you’re good enough to have voice lessons or find the idea of high-quality vocal training intimidating? Do you feel so shy about singing that you’re not even sure if you can sing in front of a voice coach?
Don’t Worry. We Get It.
Many of the singers that come through our doors don’t have a lot of singing experience either. Afterall, there aren’t many opportunities in our modern lives for us to get these experiences, especially when we’re so busy with work and family. But if you’re anything like us, the urge to learn how to sing has probably overtaken you at some point, and you’ve maybe decided that now, it’s time!
We are proud to feature singing lessons for beginners in a friendly, supportive, but professional environment with our breakthrough system for learning singing.
Our beginners singing program was created to help beginning singers with their singing using the latest methods from specialized vocal coaches. We suggest:
- Get started with weekly lessons to start to keep you on track to your goals

- Drop-in on any of our free weekly group classes complimentary!
- Whenever you feel ready, jump in and perform at one of our performance classes and gain valuable feedback and performance experience.
- When you have a bit of confidence under your belt, register for one of our complimentary performances in an intimate, professional venue.

Am I Going To Feel Safe And Supported?
It’s hard to find a place where you feel both a part of a community and where you feel steady growth when working with rock, pop, or rnb with a voice coach. Many singers find that many coaches are great at teaching musical theatre or classical singing, but don’t have much experience with rock, pop or rnb styles. And if they do, there probably isn’t much of a community vibe that comes along with it so you can feel supported in the early stages of growth.
That’s where we come in. We understand what its like to feel like you’re starting from the bottom. And it’s no sweat. Most of our students find as soon as they walk through our doors that they feel like they fit in right away! That’s because we make sure that we keep a positive, supportive environment in our studio. Everyone feels safe and free to explore their voice without feeling judged or feeling like they aren’t good enough to be here. We know that everyone has something unique to bring to the world, and we’re committed to helping everyone find their own voice and have fun, no matter what level they’re at.

I Just Want To Have Fun
At Singer’s Edge, we understand how difficult it can feel to take the first step. However, we have a long track record of helping singers with busy schedules feel safe and comfortable to develop in their own time and their own way.
We have three things that we think you’ll love about us:
- The first is our positive, warm, nurturing environment that we’ve worked to create. Many singers feel as soon as they walk through our doors that we offer a space that is inviting and non-threatening.
- The second is our Singers Edge community. We have many ways to get involved with our studio and get to know everyone.
- The third is the range of our unique programs and method. When you arrive for your first lesson, you’ll get introduced to the full range of programs we offer that are available to every level of singer – yes, that includes YOU!
They are all designed to give you a safe, welcome place to grow – and probably introduce you to a few new friends while you’re at it!
- Do you get excited by the idea of singing, but don’t want to take it too seriously?
- Do you just wanna see what’s possible without the pressure of having to be perfect?
- Want to have fun, meet friends, and sing with no stress or string attached?
I Want To Improve My Vocal Sound
Not all vocal coaches and music schools teach the same thing. Different schools have different focuses that can make them great at delivering an overall general musical experience. But if you’ve tried singing contemporary music, you’ve probably discovered that it can be alot harder than most other instruments. There are many good reasons why this is so:
- singing involves tiny muscles in your throat that can be very difficult to develop correctly
- it’s easy to strain the voice, especially when singing high or low notes the wrong way
- contemporary music can be hard to sing well and sound good. Singing like this can require full voice, loud high notes, or it can involve lots of fast moving notes, known as riffs, or trills.
- it can be very discouraging to learn rock, pop, or rnb music without the right help.
- there isn’t a community where you can learn to sing solo in a supportive environment.
Still, you might wonder what else is involved with learning singing.
- Do you wish your voice sounded better when you listen back to it?
- Do you wish you could listen to your voice and enjoy what it sounds like?
- Do you sometimes feel like your voice is hopeless?
- Do you wonder how you can improve the colour and tone of your voice?
I Want To Be Great At Singing
There are four levels of our Singer’s Edge Program™ that progress easily from one to the next: 1) Foundations 2) Musicality 3) Vocal Style 4) Performance. Most students choose to learn the Singer’s Edge Program from the beginning, however, many choose to focus exclusively on the areas of singing that are most important to them. Still, some students prefer going through lessons without our program, in an ad-hoc, less structured format.
Our specialized and proprietary program will guide you through all the essential skills needed for singing so you can great no matter what song you sing!
- Do you dream of having an amazing voice that fills people with joy?
- Do you love singing but feel once you tackle certain areas, the sky is the limit?
- Do you want to work hard and develop your voice as much as possible?
- Do you want to be an inspiration to others – maybe your co-workers or family members?
- Do you want to be a singer that some people look up to?
Am I Too Young or Old For Singing?
Some students often question if their child is too young, or if they are too old for singing lessons. The truth is, music is innate, and natural for all of us. In fact, you can begin to learn music at ANY Age. There is much evidence that shows that those who learn music have more active brains, are more likely to live longer lives, and be happier!
- Do you relish singing, love the feeling of it, but also feel like you’ve missed your window of opportunity?
- Do you think the music industry prefers young talent, making you feel there’s no place for singers as adults?
- Do you feel you’d never be able to develop your voice to it’s potential because you’re voice is too settled in it’s ways?
What happens when you register for singing lessons? We will learn more about you, confirm a regular weekly time, and take payment. Then, upon arrival, you’ll meet our staff, take your first lesson, and explore the free group classes and performance opportunities available for you.

I thought the lesson was very comprehensive, and I liked how my teacher, Toby, was able to make a lesson plan that was consistent with my goals as a guitarist and singer.

Amazing Coaches, Wonderfully Skillful, Fun Teachers
If you’re looking for a fun and comfortable environment to learn to sing or to improve upon your singing skills, Singer’s Edge is your goal! Singer’s Edge has amazing coaches, wonderfully skillful, fun teachers as well as amazing staff. As a current student, Nevon and other coaches at Singer’s Edge, have taught me various vocal warm ups and technical exercises to train my voice. As a constant supporter and experienced musician, he truly tailors the lessons to the individual. If you’re looking to amp up your vocals, look no further.”
Best Training I’ve Ever Experienced!
Best training I’ve ever experienced! Within my first few lessons, I had accessed a whole other dimension of my voice that I didn’t even know existed. He has created an open learning environment where I feel comfortable trying new things and exceeding my limitations. He genuinely cares about the improvement of his students and provides incredible opportunities for them to grow. If an “Edge” is what you’re looking for… Singer’s Edge is the place to be.
Broadened Range, Corrected Pitch & Improved Intonation
My first voice lesson brought to light immediate results. He tuned in to my individual voice and was quickly able to tell me what adjustments I needed to make to improve my singing. Not only have the techniques I learned from Brandon helped me broaden my range, correct my pitch and improve my intonation, but the same techniques have helped me to sing safely through sore throats due to colds. Training with Brandon has greatly enhanced my enjoyment of performing full time. For this I am truly grateful.
I’ve Never Felt More Confident
I have to say that I am so so grateful for your help. I’ve never felt more confident as I did this morning when we were in Audio. He said I did a great job, and the Audio technician, whom I’ve worked with many times, and who is a very experienced musician, said that he thinks my lessons with you have made a big difference. He said “you have a new skill”. So thank you Brandon. My big bosses will be so grateful too, once they hear the difference.
I Have Referred Many Professional Friends
I have referred many professional friends to Brandon- and the list keeps growing. Every time I have referred a singer, they call me and thank me for introducing me to Brandon as he changes their lives by opening up their voices to reach their true potential. He continues to do this with me- always with a smile and open ears.
Improved My Range & Liberated My Voice
Brandon has helped me improve my range and liberate my voice.
More Than A School, This Place Is A Community!
Changed my voice for the better. More than a school, this place is a community! I have been singing since I was eight, I am in my twenties now and had no idea that I even needed proper training till I started with Brandon almost two years ago! His coaching made a night and day difference in my voice. My band members actually saw a drastic improvement in my voice after just two classes with Brandon. My friends, family and band members continue to express how amazing my voice has become in the past few years. It is only up from here! I’ve had such a remarkable 3 year journey with Singers Edge so far. My voice consistently keeps improving and I discover new capabilities with it on a regular basis! My critics, band members and friends now say I sound like a professional singer and I couldn’t be happier to hear that! If you want to be your best and make some amazing contacts in the local music scene, this is the place for it!
Gained That Elusive Confidence In My Voice
After trying many different styles and techniques I can finally say I found the way to good vocal technique. Brandon’s positive attitude and charisma, his in-depth know-how and energy are exactly what I was looking for. The studio is so cozy and the way the light comes through the window is so inspiring, the whole ambiance, amazing. I came to the right environment and the right person which will help me gain that elusive confidence in my voice. If I lived in Toronto I would be there have voice lessons every other day!
So Much More Consistency & Way More Confidence
For two and a half months before rehearsals started, I took voice lessons with Brandon and i can’t tell you what a drastic difference it made in my voice. I had issues with disconnectedness and tonal differences between head and chest and not knowing how to blend them… I came away from that short period of time of voice training work with Brandon, with so much more knowledge, how to practice, so much more consistency and way more confidence. I’m so happy with myself and my employers are really happier with me. Thank you Brandon SO much. Can’t wait to see you next summer.
It is with great confidence and expectation of success that I recommend Mr. Brophy
Brandon is an absolutely marvelous teacher… And he’s fast too! Mr. Brophy is an excellent musician and has over the years I’ve known him developed a vocal range that extends to well over 3 octaves. He not only plays piano well but is also very much aware of the various musical styles that different vocal performers use. His voice is free and has a large vocal range with a developed ability to sing with ease and fulfill the requirements within any style of music (pop, jazz, r&b, musical theatre). He shows a strong focus towards his voice teaching career and towards various educational capacities for the Speech Level Singing organization. I believe that he will pull into his voice training work the entire musical prowess experienced in his lifelong passionate focus towards his vocal application. He has the ability to combine not only his performance skills, but also his voice teachers mind for musical education. Being a complete musician he will accomplish success by achieving it himself and encourage and support his students in doing the same. Brandon is one of those peculiar pupils who is so in love with his craft that he wants to extend it towards others in anyway he can. It is with great confidence and expectation of success that I recommend Mr. Brophy. I myself have been teaching for 52 years, and I must say that Mr. Brophy is the kind of voice teacher that we should all be fortunate to be able to work with.

Conquered All The Obstacles In Singing I’ve Battled For Years
Brandon’s positive affirming spirit and brilliant understanding of music and the voice has helped me conquer all the obstacles in singing that I’ve battled for years. I have been singing principals in west end shows as well, something that has been a lifelong dream of mine. In just under 2 years of voice lessons studying with Brandon, I’ve made phenomenal progress, expanding my vocal range to 4 octaves, building strength in my voice, and giving me the ability and confidence to sing any song from opera to R&B. Brandon’s lively and friendly persona makes my every lesson a real joy to go to every week. Every voice lesson is fun and relaxing as well as enriching and inspiring.
