Singing Lessons for Pop, Jazz, and Classical Styles | Hoa Sen University

Hi! I’m Tom, a singer, songwriter, music producer, and dedicated vocal coach with a lifelong passion for the voice as an expressive, powerful, and deeply personal instrument. My mission as a teacher is to help every student unlock their unique vocal potential in a healthy, confident, and authentic way - especially within contemporary styles like pop, jazz, soul, R&B, folk, and pop rock. I’ve been singing since I was five. Over the years, I’ve explored many phases of vocal development- from formal training to self-taught exploration, from technical study to performing live and recording in the studio. These years of experimentation and learning taught me how to connect with my voice, and more importantly, how to help others do the same. In 2022–2023, I taught singing for children’s group classes, and in 2023–2024, I started offering one-on-one online vocal coaching for students of different levels. Now based in Melbourne, I’m pursuing my second Bachelor’s degree in Music Production at JMC Academy to deepen my knowledge of songwriting, music technology, and production. This path has given me not only technical vocal skills but also a well-rounded understanding of the music industry and the tools needed to guide aspiring singers—both artistically and practically.

My lessons are tailored to each student’s goals, vocal experience, and musical taste. I specialize in contemporary vocal coaching with a focus on developing both strong technique and expressive artistry. We can work on: + Breathing technique & breath control + Chest, head, mix register transitions + Healthy belting technique + Pitch accuracy & ear training + Tone shaping & resonance + Vocal agility (riffs, runs, flexibility) + Dynamic control & phrasing + Vocal styling for pop, R&B, jazz, soul, folk, and rock + Vocal effects like vocal fry, cry, vibrato, and intentional tone color + Performance confidence and emotional expression + Recording techniques for studio singing and mic work + Foundations of music theory & vocal anatomy + Whether you want to sing covers, write your own songs, prepare for gigs, build your voice for the studio, or simply sing with more confidence and ease, I’m here to guide you.
