Client Wins:
“First, I got into NYU, so yay!!”
Courtenay helped me to prepare for auditions at various performing arts universities in the States. The vocal technique he introduced me to was extremely effective, and easy to learn through his informed and clear teaching style.
My lessons with Courtenay have allowed me to sing more easily and with better technique, and continue to thoroughly prepare me for whatever route my vocal and performing arts career takes me in the future.”

Data-Driven Proof of Progress
Results and timeframes:
Get a clear sense of what results to expect and how soon to expect them before trying lessons.
These insights are derived from the custom CEVS progress database which currently contains progress data for over 100 singers and 1500 lesssons, along with (anonymized) recorded proof that these results actually happened.
Detailed progress logging:
Get your own singing progress tracked in detail. If you’re ever questioning your rate of improvement, we can discuss
What progress has been made
How your progress compares to other singer averages
If you are plateauing, what your best options are—even if this means e.g. trialing a different specialist who may have a more effective approach for what you may currently need.
I want to help you to get the results you want, and as fast as reasonably possible, regardless of who is best to help you in your journey.
More about data-driven results and progress logging soon, for now the best way to learn more is to book a free call.
