Voice Lessons / Vocal Intuition / Vocal Classes Melbourne

We might not be blowing any minds by telling you, but a singing teacher helps students sing and have an academic background in the study of voice pedagogy.  What may surprise you is the complicated difference between a singing teacher and a voice teacher. Think they’re the same? Think again.

A singing teacher focuses on a student’s technical use of the vocal cords and breathing physiology. They teach individuals and group lessons on how to improve their voice.

A voice coach goes beyond this in the emotional sense, they get you to connect with your song and the audience. A voice coach also helps students with musical style and performance. Usually relying on their experience in the music industry, a voice coach will also work on range, note accuracy, breath control, head vs chest voice and pronunciation. If that’s all a little technical we understand. In short, a voice coach helps a student make a song their own. At Rockability we are both, university qualified singing teachers also with vocal coach background and experience, giving you best of both worlds.

We specialize in voice training looking at both the technical side and the overall performance. We offer an intensive service between 5 and 8 weeks to help you or your band achieve your music goals. These are especially useful for established artists working with timelines or on goal based projects. Preparing for a tour? Recording your own album?

Our commitment to improving your microphone techniques and song interpretation ensure you leave our vocal classes the most well-rounded musician you can be.

Testimonials

Singing lessons with Katherine Dolphin are the highlight of my week. Over the last six months I have improved range, power and breath control among many other skills. I have been able to transfer these abilities to my job as a teacher, my vocation as a rap performer, my ambitions as a singer, and my speaking voice for my social life. I can’t recommend it enough!

I’ve been singing with Kath for at least three years now and she is just awesome! Her techniques have made my voice so much stronger, my range has grown unbelievably, and what’s best is that I have been able to develop my personal singing style in conjunction with the technical side of Speech Level Singing. Thank you Kath!

Solo Artist

I have been instructed by Kath for many years and I have found her ideas and methods very adaptable to the style of singing I perform. My band has used her skills for assisting with harmonies and voice production on many of our albums. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to other singers or band members who want to polish up their sound.

Lead singer of Bodyjar & Cola Wars

I have been coached by Katherine for over 3 years. During this time she has helped me become more professional with my singing and taught me how to look after the health of my vocal cords. Katherine is not only a great singing teacher but has been a mentor for me along my journey in the music industry. I don’t know what I would do without her!

Jordan Allen

Solo Artist

Kath is an exceptional vocal trainer that exceeds so many expectations when it comes to training and understanding YOUR voice. The experience i have had with Kath over the past 8 years of vocal training has been phenomenal. Kath has been able to help me achieve my goals and get my voice up to scratch and fit for casual gigs, recording and touring. The training is tailored to suit personal vocal needs and goals, whilst still maintaining an immaculate vocal technique. Even if you just love to sing Kath is your lady. I could not recommend her highly enough. I definitely feel as though i would be missing out on developing some serious vocal potential if i did not have Kath in my life!

Kath is hands down the best vocal coach I have ever had. Her training has had a huge impact on my voice. Previously I had years of training in classical music - both piano and voice - but didn't particularly want to sing in that style. Other singing teachers I have had were lovely but just didn't know how to craft a modern sound. Couldn't be happier with the results of training with Kath. Well worth the investment. Highly recommend.

Sarah Worboys

Kath from Rock Ability is amazing. I have been to other singing teachers but I found Kath to be the best by far. She made me feel completely at ease from the second I walked in and is extremely patient. She really listened to me and what I wanted to achieve and she was always coming up with new ideas and lessons for me to practice. She is extremely knowledgeable and talented and is just an amazing person. Each class was fantastic fun and I find myself excited about each new week. I can't recommend her enough to anyone wanting to either learn how to sing or to just refine their abilities.

Dannielle Collins

Easily the best vocal teacher I’ve ever had! Katherine has definitely taken my singing to the next level and is worth every cent.

Aiden Somerville

Kath is the most amazing singing teacher I have ever come across. I was literally tone deaf when I started with her and in such a short amount of time I had improved dramatically. She is a beautiful, caring and professional person who takes her time to make sure you get the best out of every lesson. I highly recommend her to anyone who is a complete beginner or super experienced and just needs some slight tweaking - she is a star!
