Friendly and supportive singing lessons
“Matt really knows his stuff and is able to break it all down for a beginner such as myself. One of the things that I was worried about as a beginner was what the coaches might be like. I thought I would find myself very intimidated by such experienced singers. With Matt that impression was shattered right from the first lesson. I am beginning to notice a difference in my singing.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Explore the answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about our piano lessons below:
When on the search for a voice teacher, there are many things to consider such as: How much performance experience do they have? How much actual teaching experience do they have? Are they skilled at teaching in-person as well as online voice lessons? Are they friendly, and warm and do you feel comfortable in their presence? Also, do they offer you performance experiences to get on stage and sing in front of people? Do they have supportive environments where you feel safe to grow? What kind of system do they use when teaching? Is it their own, or one that is established and systemized? Do they provide recognition for your successes and achievements as you progress through your lessons?
At our academy our teachers come from a great variety of teaching backgrouns and styles. All our teachers have professional backgrounds. Some of our teachers specialize in jazz, who can teach you the phrasing, the technique and the drills necessary to perform with a jazz band or sing your favorite jazz tune for friends and family. Some specialize in classical voice, that can prepare you for a musical audition or just teach you how to create that exciting sound without amplification for your own enjoyment. Lastly, we have teachers that experienced at Pop singing, who specialize in the little nuances of singing with a microphone that can help you navigate through the challenges of the style and can make your voice ready for a performance or recording. Each one brings a wealth of professional and academic experience in just the right balance to really help you explore your potential in a safe, productive environment.
Our voice teachers are the perfect match to help you explore these time-honoured and fascinating genres of singing. We have many singing teachers (both male and female) between both locations, so we most definitely have a teacher that will be the best fit for you. Whether you're interested in auditions, festivals, or recording your own music, we have the best teacher match for you.
All of our voice teachers were hired not only because of their extensive skills, but also because of their friendly, warm, and caring personalities. You will feel that they genuinely care about your experience and development at our school. Our teachers are also selected above all the others in Toronto for their extensive educational and/or music industry performance experience. They are also familiar with the best voice development systems available today to find the right one for you. Many of our voice teachers specialize in pop, rock, R&B, soul, or classical voice styles.
Get ready to fall in love with our voice lessons from our amazingly supportive, and talented voice teachers!
Most of us learn about singing from the moment we come into the world. Singing surrounds us our parents and teachers singing us nursery rhymes, and the singing we hear on the tv, radio, and online. Singing is such a cornerstone of every culture that it’s nearly impossible to avoid it!
So it’s not surprising then that many children love to sing! We see many schools featuring choirs of young children as part of their education very early on. The readiness of children to start voice lessons will vary from child to child as to whether they demonstrate a higher than average interest for singing, and their ability to stay focussed and attentive for the length of a private lesson. We’ve had some students start voice lessons as young as 4 and 5 years, while some students feel more ready between ages 6 and 8 years. At our academies, most of our students take 30 minutes lessons, and we find that this is the perfect for them to learn new skills without getting overwhelmed.
The voice is a fascinating instrument that is still often misunderstood, even after centuries of research. While the voice may sound easy and seem simple (and in many ways it is), much like any other instrument, the voice is a system of many relatively small pieces working together at the same time. Singing starts with air pressure leaving from the lungs, setting in motion vibration of the vocal cords, then producing sound waves that resonate through the spaces inside your throat and mouth areas.
Unlike other instruments which exist outside of ourselves, the voice is contained within our own bodies. This causes some distortion to the way that we perceive our own voice. For instance, we are often surprised when we hear our own voices played back to us through voicemails and audio recordings. This is because the voice we hear as a result of vibrations inside our own heads, are different than the voice that is experienced outside of ourselves. So it’s important to remember that the voice we think we hear, isn’t necessarily the voice that others hear.
Some people tend to think that “either you have it or you don’t”. And that’s just not true. Everyone can learn to sing better, no matter how "bad" you think you sound. We are often our own worst critics, though, which is a shame because we often give up on our learning before we've even had a chance to learn anything! We tend to be very hard on ourselves, especially when first learning something new. So be easy on yourself when just starting out singing.
Remember that just like anything, learning to sing well takes time - for anyone. Give yourself time - a year of voice lessons even - and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how much more you will enjoy the sound of your own voice singing!
Classical singing tends to use rounder, darker, and more richer tones overall, with vibrato on almost any held note. Popular styles of singing on the other hand tend to be more thin in tone, and closer to patterns of regular speech, with unique and interesting ways of producing the same note. This may have become standard as many singers in popular music never had as much rigorous training as those in classical music, causing the popular singing style to value uniqueness or uniformity of sound.
We often get asked if learning singing provides the same benefits as learning other instruments. And our answer is unequivocally, absolutely, provided that you practice singing, as much as you would any other instrument. With that said, many singers who take the craft of singing more seriously do choose to learn how to play another instrument as well, usually guitar or piano. Many of the world’s most successful and popular singers are able to play at least one other instrument at a basic level. By being able to play another instrument, it enables you to become a more dynamic songwriter. Also, being a self-accompanist makes you more independent, so you don’t have to rely on other musicians to accompany you.
Although you don’t need to purchase an instrument to sing, some students love the idea of having a microphone and amplifier in their home to practice with. Although not necessary, having a microphone does help you to hear your voice better when you sing, and also gets you used to holding and singing with microphones, which you can expect to be doing if you intend to pursue singing more seriously in the recording studio or on stage. However, most singers can make significant advances in their singing without purchasing these items.
One of The Singer’s Edge Program's key ingredients is the lesson books that accompany the program and the online practice scales. The books and online scales make learning singing super easy and understandable so that you can measure your progress after each and every lesson - and your homework is already laid out for you. You don’t have to worry about what you should focus on to start learning - all you have to do is follow along, and you will make great strides!
It’s not too difficult to take good care of your voice. Even just basic hygiene such as getting enough sleep, staying optimally hydrated by drinking fluids throughout the day, and not screaming or abusing your voice, is enough to keep your vocal cords healthy and ready for singing.
Nevertheless, it's also important to remember that singing imposes many more demands on the voice than just regular speaking. In speaking, we usually only use the lowest notes of our voice, and rarely might we go into our higher notes when speaking. But in singing, you will likely engage both your low and high notes much more frequently, and for longer periods of time without rest. If your voice is not conditioned or accustomed to doing this, it can take its toll, and you could tire the voice, or possibly damage it over time. That means there is an element of risk that comes along with singing, just like playing any other instrument.
With singing, therefore, it’s important that you are diligent about doing vocal warmups before you sing songs, and make sure that you’re not using vocal strain, or excess tension, in trying to reach notes in your vocal range. With training, and in time, you will learn how to use correct breathing, along with the correct air pressure, vocal cord usage, and vowel shaping, so you can learn how to sing across your full vocal range for longer periods of time safely and easily.
We don’t want to scare you from learning singing, but yes, it’s possible you can hurt your voice singing the wrong way. This is why it is important to find a good teacher who will show you how to protect and nurture your voice gradually over time, rather than push your voice too hard too soon, causing a vocal injury. While vocal injuries are rare, they can be serious, and have lasting consequences, so you do want to make sure the vocal teacher you choose is experienced with teaching safely.
The most important thing to remember when singing is not to strain your voice to reach certain notes. If a note feels uncomfortable for you to sing, you shouldn’t force it, and push harder. This is the most common cause of vocal injuries. Instead, growing singers must be patient, as it takes time and patience to learn how to sing all the notes in your vocal range. Until you get there, you may need to change the songs your singing, or limit the ranges of the songs you do sing so you don’t hurt yourself.
To learn to sing the right way, you must gradually build your skills one thing at a time. The most important thing is to learn how to access easily your low and your high notes, without reaching too much with one or the other.
The most important thing when starting out learning singing is to learn the differences between your low voice, and your high voice, as these feel substantially different in the beginning. This causes many singers to hold on the feeling of the low, or the high voice, as they try and sing different notes in their range causing issues of vocal strain. But learning to effectively transition between your low and high notes gives you much ease, power and control as you continue to grow in your vocal development, and sound better and better.
It’s important when learning singing in the beginning that you don’t tire your voice out from trying new things your voice has never done before - especially when you’re practicing on your own with no teacher present. In the beginning of your learning, we suggest keeping your practices short - say 5 minutes of singing or so at a time every 20 minutes. This allows your voice time to recover after trying new things that you may not yet know how to do well yet easily. As you gain more experience and conditioning in your voice, you can extend your practice time to 10 minutes, and eventually longer. But remember, if and when your voice begins to feel fatigued, you should let it rest until you feel sufficiently recovered and vocally relaxed again to continue.
Contrary to popular belief, great singing is most often learned through practice, and is not something you are just born with.
No matter what your age or experience level, we suggest getting onstage ASAP. If you’ve never performed before, we encourage you to register for ALL our performances. Each one is free for our students only at our schools!
We provide wonderful, supportive experiences to perform in real, beautiful venues at no extra cost to you, and it’s worth it to start building that experience now. And if the idea of performing terrifies you, it’s ok! Everyone feels that way at first. It’s all the more reason to get started sooner than later, so you can overcome those fears.
We make performances easy! We will work with you to cut down your performance piece so it’s short in length so you don’t have to worry about forgetting words, or getting lost in the music. Our goal is to make your first experiences of performing fun, and exhilarating, so you never feel overwhelmed.
Do you relish singing, love the feeling of it, but also feel like you’ve missed your window of opportunity? Do you hear about the music industry’s preference for young talent that makes you feel there’s no place for you as an adult? 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?
It's Ok. We Understand Why You'd Think That Way
This kind of thinking that learning singing is only for teenagers, is ubiquitous. But let us enlighten you a bit to drive a wedge in this kind of thinking right now: There is no age requirement to developing singing skills. The vocal police are not going to find and charge you for exploring and exploiting your love of singing because you're no longer a teenager.
Singing has always been a part of the human experience for all ages. There are many opportunities that will open to you when you choose to explore your love of singing. You might start to connect with your own authenticity more deeply. You might become more expressive and confident than you have been before. You may feel invigorated by the challenges and mini-successes you achieve on the path of your vocal development.
Feel the need to perform? Why not? Anything is STILL possible. You might find new friends and find your niche song that you kill everytime at karaoke. Don’t you think there are older audiences who want to see someone just like them be successful on stage? Everyone needs inspiration. You may find others in your age bracket who want to be in a band performing at local venues, with you as lead singer. In fact, when you make the choice to follow that which inspires you, you inspire others to do the same.
Just remember that Tony Bennett and Ella Fitzgerald have been known to sing beyond their 80th birthdays! And while they may sing more “safe” as they age, the enjoyment and passion of singing never fades for anyone. Also, you might be interested to know that many of our students at Singer’s Edge have just as much, or more, life experience than you. So, you will always feel like you’re coming home here.
The Problem:
When you look at the songs playing on the radio today, it’s easy to think that the world only wants to hear teenage songs by teenage voices. But when you look deeper, you begin to realize that though young audiences might be buying up pop songs, you can feel assured that more mature audiences will always long for songs with more sophistication and class. So don’t be fooled into thinking there is no place for you. There are many songs for you - you just have to take some time to find the songs that are right for you.
Can You Improve Your Singing Tone?
Are you wondering how to improve your singing tone? 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?
We understand what its like to struggle with the sound of your voice. Many singers come into our studio unhappy with the quality of their voice, and unsure of whether or not it’s something they can improve, nevermind whether they will ever be able to ever actually enjoy the sound of it. While it may seem far off, developing a nice, pleasing vocal tone is possible for everyone with the right tools, the right coach, and practice. You can develop your voice for singing and enjoy the process no matter where you are with your voice.
Don't Worry. We Get It!
There can be many, many issues at play that can cause your voice to not sound it’s best. This is part of why learning singing is much more complex that learning other musical instruments. We may want to rule out any medical issues such as hayfever, allergies, or other issues. Often, some singers experience a voice that isn’t able to work efficiently simple because of a lack of adequate sleep, or because of too much alchohol, caffeine, or foods which could be triggering acid reflux.
Other common sources of vocal tonal issues could come from foreign accents which make singing in a particular language seem unnatural. It may also be that one’s confidence, musical or vocal development isn’t sufficiently strong enough to keep the voice consistently on pitch and rhythm when singing songs.
Find Your Own Style
While it’s desirable to develop your voice to it’s maximum potential, we also want to be careful to ensure that your voice maintains it’s natural quality, without sounding forced, or over-controlled. Making sure that your coach understands you, the areas where you are weakest, and have a proven system to guide you out of your challenges is essential.
Every voice has it’s own unique character, and no two voices sound alike. That’s the thrill of singing! The most important thing is to separate what parts of your voice are able to be adjusted and improved through correct technique, musicianship, and personality, and which aspects of your voice are part of it’s inherent natural character and how you can capitalize on that. Honing in and empowering the unique timbre of your own voice is essential towards making your voice sound great!

Many of our students come to our studio just to get away from their busy working lives and explore singing in a fun, pressure-free environment. There is lots to do in our studio, and you are invited to take part in as much or as little as feels right for you. There’s no expectations to go any further than you’d like to.
Although we feature an innovative vocal program that instills a strong, balanced voice in any singer interested in developing it, we recognize that many of our members just want to have fun. Singing has always meant to be fun. So we love that! And we have a spot in our program just for you.
Warm, Friendly Community
There’s not alot of places where you feel can go to feel welcomed, have fun, and feel a part of a community. Learning singing is great, but wouldn’t it be nice to have also have a fun environment to explore your singing in while making steady, consistent growth?
Our community, fabulous vocal techniques, and optional unique Singer’s Edge Program™ means that as soon as you are beginning to feel comfortable with the studio, our coaches and your growth (we know that you might feel nervous about coming, but trust us, feeling comfortable happens quick) you can quickly move into learning tricks and technique that will really boost your singing ability and help to feel more confident, and feel more positive about your voice than ever. All of this is meant to support your enjoyment of the studio so you can have a blast!
Comfortable first lesson as a complete beginner

Reaching For Greatness
The path to becoming one is often long and hard, and requires support from the right people if you are going to survive it and be successful. We’ve worked with many singers work from the bottom up with their voices, helping them build a unique and powerful voice that has been the source of inspiration for those around them. Furthermore, all of our coaches are singers too. And we love sharing our secrets with those would like to learn and work hard.
The path to becoming an amazing singer can be challenging. If you are serious about growing you skills as a singer to your highest potential, you need a support system of coaches and mentors to guide you without wasting your time and/or money. The problem is, there is much to learn. So much, in fact, that it’s easy to get distracted, or spend months or years learning skills which may not be useful in the development of contemporary singing skills. Or worse, you discover these things too late.
Everything You Need
There are many good resources available for singers, but you want to make sure that you find the right tools that are relevant and appropriate for you. Also remember that there’s more to a great voice than just the physical voice itself. Your ability to develop as a musician, and as a creative, confident human being all play a hand in your ability to be great at singing. It’s happened to some of us where the wrong advice can set you back years, or even stunt your growth entirely.
The secret to our success in working with singers to be great is our Singer’s Edge Program. We assess you in each of the 4 areas of the path creating a clear strategy for your growth efficiently and quickly. We lay out a series of short and long term goals which will support your development as a singer and setting you up the with the right resources you will need to be successful.

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.
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. If you need any further information, please see my website www.sethriggs.com.
Results In Such A Short Time
I am so impressed with the results you’ve had in such a short time I’ve begun giving out your number to some of my clients.
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.
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!
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!
Improved My Range & Liberated My Voice
Brandon has helped me improve my range and liberate my voice.
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.
Bataclan Michelle
Awsome environment and awesome teachers! The techniques they teach are unbelievable. You really notice how much you progress in so little time.
Jsin Sasha
I’m there multiple times per week and look forward to each visit. It’s an awesome environment to learn.
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.
Vikki Jin
All the staff are super friendly, helpful and welcoming! All the coaches are extremely knowledgable and supportive!! I met lots of talented and inspiring local artists through the school. Love everyone here!! I would definitely recommend it to everyone who loves music and singing <3 <3 <3
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.
Veronica Sabah
The best music school I’ve been to! Amazing people and I always feel excited to attend my lessons !
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.
You really take the time to find out what the needs of the student are.

I’ve also been in the background vocals class since I started, and love that I get to take that class for free along with my lessons.

given me the best kind of gift, and that is the gift of freedom with my voice
The Vocal teachers at Singer’s Edge have given me the best kind of gift, and that is the gift of freedom with my voice and ensuring its longevity in my music career. This is the place to get trained if you want to be a great singer and have a long career being one.
Felt comfortable from walking in to walking out and I could hear it in my voice too.
Hard to describe the feeling of not being able to sing in-front of someone who you don’t know. It’s like a lump in the throat that just doesn’t go down. I had my first session with Nevon and the lump was not there. The equivalent to singing in the shower. Felt comfortable from walking in to walking out and I could hear it in my voice too.
Caring for your students and prompt service.

very comfortable environment for me to sing and express myself.
My teacher (Nevon) seemed very invested in my learning. When he recommended songs for me to sing or gave me notes to take home, it felt like he was actually listening to my voice and thinking about what I needed to grow as a singer. The staff and other students made it a very comfortable environment for me to sing and express myself.

As an intermediate level guitar player, playing both rhythm and lead, I decided after many years, on a whim, that I wanted to sing with the various ‘fun’ bands I played in. Playing Blues, Rock, 60’s to 2000’s. Anything we liked. I tried some backup vocals at first, and then soloed while playing my guitar. It was a lot harder than I thought. However, over the last few months with a great instructor, and challenging Practice Modules, I have found my ability to both sing and play the guitar together getting, far easier, in so many ways. I feel I’ve only scratched the surface, and am motivated to continue.

Everyone was super kind and welcoming. It helped me not be so anxious about trying to do something I have always wanted to but never did because I was self conscious, especially being that I am older. You are never to old to try! 😊

For anyone seeking a better singing voice I would highly recommend this place and I would highly recommend Christian to teach you. All the staff are very friendly and communication was very easy.
Steve B
I highly recommend this place! I have been cursed with a terrible voice, but always had an overwhelming desire to sing. I am very happy I started to take lessons after resisting for 30 years. After some extended time focusing on developing my vocal skills, I ACTUALLY got better and can sing in pitch/key. I feel the 1.5 year investment I’ve made so far has given me gift 1000% worth the investment and is something I know will be engrained as part of the rest of my life.
For reference, my music teach is Matt – he’s great! Tatiana & Katie at the front desk are super nice too! 🙂
If you’re considering lessons and have a fire for signing, DO IT and stick to it. A couple times I felt I didnt have progress, but some of that was just in my head and it’s worth working past that…out of nowhere you may find yourself pleasantly surprised at what you can do. Suddenly you may find yourself surprised about how much you’ve developed.

Coaches and staff are always supportive, friendly, and helpful. A relaxed yet highly informative learning structure which moves at the student’s own pace. Singer’s Edge has helped me so much in my musical and vocal development; I highly reccommend aspiring musicians to give it a try!
