Freddie Mercer

vocal & performance coach.

introduction

1-1 SINGING & PIANO LESSONS AT MY STUDIOS IN HERSHAM OR BOOKHAM OR IN YOUR OWN HOME. I CAN TRAVEL TO ALL SURROUNDING AREAS.

Freddie is a highly passionate and experienced singer and vocal coach. Having taught for almost 10 years, he's been constantly developing a system for unlocking the true, inner voice of each student that comes through the door and subsequently helping them to be the best possible version of themselves through focus and attention to their specific needs. The main goal is to maintain the best possible vocal function whilst developing how they WANT to sound and if they don't feel like they already know, setting a course for such an exciting discovery. He pulls from his extensive and constantly ongoing research of the voice, music and the art of self-expression.

If you are looking to practice for a scholarship, rehearse a musical theatre number, prepare for ABRSM grades, just have some fun singing the songs you love or start your first ever singing lesson to see if singing is for you, Freddie is looking forward to hearing from you.

testimonials

I've been going to lessons with Freddie for 5 years now. He is a talented coach who blends the discipline needed to strengthen and improve my singing with enthusiasm and encouragement. My power, confidence and technique have all improved consistently over the time i've spent with Freddie. He has a broad range of knowledge and repertoire from classical, choral, opera and musical theatre to pop and indie music. His own talent and enjoyment of singing shines through in his teaching and engagement with the subject.

Since I’ve started singing with Freddie, my singing has improved in many ways. I have learned to support my singing and how to warm up my voice without damaging it. I enjoy very much going there every week to sing songs that I love.

Freddie has taught my children, now aged 12 and 15, singing, guitar and piano for the last four years. Not only is Freddie incredibly knowledgable but he makes learning fun and he brings everything down to a level where they can relate. I would recommend him highly for anyone with a desire to learn at all levels. An inspiration - if only all teachers were as good!

About Freddie

To see singers take not just their voice into their own hands, but their mind and bodies too, allowing the process to invigorate and richen the rest of their lives… that’s inspiring. There’s magic in singing and how it helps us.

Having worked as a choral scholar at Downside Abbey and Westminster Cathedral, he travelled round the world in a select chamber choir singing the works of Faure, Byrd and Palestrina in some of the most prestigious buildings, from St Paul’s cathedral, Frauenkirche church in Munich to St Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican, Rome. Freddie then took his passion for singing into the world of opera and went on to study at Morley Opera School, Associated Studios and the National Opera Studio in Italian, French and German Opera and developed his love for language and acting.

It was at this point, Freddie wanted to expand his education and attended the Academy of Contemporary Music where he studied contemporary vocal performance, gaining a first in his BMus degree, and began to blend the best of the three worlds into his teaching.
