Pop and Indie Singers
Learn to sing higher, stronger, and more expressively—all with greater ease.
Professional singers trust CEVS to keep them in shape for upcoming shows and recording sessions, as well as for technical and stylistic skill development.
How training works, here:
In an initial free consult, I’ll ask you about your musical background, what’s going on, now, and where you want to get, vocally and career-wise. I’ll also answer any questions you may have.
If we decide to proceed to a first lesson, I’ll then hear and work with your voice, and we’ll discuss possible best routes to achieve your goals.
Lessons are generally divided between individualized training, and voice technique, including applying better technique to songs you are working on. You can expect to feel a difference in the first lesson.

So many genres of pop and indie music:
From 2004-2016, I directed and performed with the widely-traveled Famous Players Band. This elite Vancouver-based cover band covered any kind of pop, rock, indie, and hip hop you can imagine, in places as diverse as New York City, Barcelona, and Bejing—so when it comes to your style, chances are I get it. Yes, I’m a voice teacher in Vancouver, but I’m a pro musician as well.

“Courtenay has an insight into precisely what my voice needs at a particular moment and – perhaps more importantly – is able to guide me to my goals lesson after lesson.
His understanding of the male registers has helped me blend through difficult ranges and hit high notes more confidently.
During my time with Courtenay, I’ve learned how to understand and explore my voice more than ever before.”
— Jordan Raine, Singer/Songwriter
