Vocal tuition in Middlesbrough
TVMS offers singing and vocal tuition for learners who want to develop their voice, confidence and musical understanding. Lessons can support children who enjoy singing, young people developing their vocal identity, and adults who want to begin or return to singing. Depending on availability, vocal lessons may take place in schools, colleges or through local music centre provision.
Over the last 25 years, TVMS has become well-known for its 'SNAPPY' singing performance programme at both Eston Sports Hall and Middlesbrough Sports Village - a highlight for thousands of children across Middlesbrough, bringing them together for unforgettable Spring, Summer, and Christmas events. Families treasure these special moments; often sharing how bittersweet it is when their children transition to secondary school and they can no longer attend.
What many may not realise is that the talented singing teachers from TVMS - some of whom are the vocal leaders for the live SNAPPY band - are dedicated to nurturing young singers every day in schools across Middlesbrough.
