Vocal tuition in Stockton
TVMS offers singing and vocal tuition for learners who want to develop their voice, confidence and musical skills. Lessons can support children who are singing for the first time, young people developing their vocal identity, and adults who want to begin or return to singing.
Over the last 25 years, TVMS has become well-known for its 'SNAPPY' performance programme at the Thornaby Pavilion - a highlight for thousands of children across Stockton, bringing them together for unforgettable Spring, Summer, and Christmas singing 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 vocal leaders in the live SNAPPY band - are dedicated to nurturing young singers every day in schools across Stockton. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, experienced vocal coaches from TVMS are able to guide you every step of way.
Lessons take place in many Stockton schools (daytime) and at our base, Stockton's local music centre (evenings).
