Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this platform for?
Anyone who wants to sing! Whether you’re a total beginner, a passionate shower singer, a school choir member, or preparing for auditions – these lessons are designed to support and challenge you at your level. Most of our students are in secondary school, but all ages are welcome.
How does it work?
It’s simple. Once you subscribe, you’ll get instant access to a growing library of video lessons and resources. You can watch them whenever you want, as many times as you like. Think of it like Netflix… but for your voice.
Do I have to follow a schedule?
Not at all! The lessons are designed to fit your life. You can log in and learn anytime, anywhere. Go at your own pace – pause, rewind, repeat – and revisit any lesson whenever you need a refresher.
What kind of singing will I learn?
The platform covers a range of styles and skills from vocal warm-ups and breath control, to performance tips and style-specific techniques. While Rich comes from an opera background, the lessons are genre-inclusive and focus on helping you build strong, healthy techniques you can apply anywhere.
What do I need to get started?
Just a device with internet connection – and your voice!
Will I get personal feedback?
Yes! Symons Studio isn’t just about following the Training Videos. You can also send Rich a recording of your singing through the platform, and he’ll reply with tailored advice. Think of it like having a mini one-to-one lesson in your pocket — perfect for polishing a solo line, sorting out a tricky technical point, or getting that extra boost of confidence before a performance.
Is this platform right for me if I’m shy or nervous about singing?
Absolutely. In fact, this is especially for you. Rich’s teaching style is all about building confidence and helping you feel good about your voice – no judgement, no pressure. Just support, encouragement and real growth.
Can this help with school or choir singing?
Yes! Many students use the platform alongside their school music programmes, choirs, or drama clubs. It’s a great way to boost your skills between rehearsals or prep for auditions and performances.
Can I use this if I’m not in the UK?
Definitely! Lessons are available anywhere in the world – all you need is internet access and a love of music.
Do you offer face-to-face lessons?
Rich currently teaches in person in both Cambridge and Harpenden. If you love what Symons Studio offers but feel you’d learn best face to face, just get in touch — we can chat through options and see what might work!
