I have tried lots of teachers in Vancouver and so far Frederick is the best I've found for teaching how to sing Pop/rnb with the proper technique.

Every lesson is a wealth of invaluable information !

But I still felt like I don't know how to sing in the right way with the right technics, especially in pop. I am so glad that I found Courtenay. He pointed out exactly what my problems were. He taught me many effective practices that helped me to develop better singing skills and sing in an easier way. I didn't even know I am capable of singing like and sounding like that before I took the lesson with Courtenay. More importantly, Courtenay himself is SUPER talented and musical, I am having a lot of fun taking his lesson. He cares about his students and always check in with me before the lessons. Plus, he's SUPER kind and supportive which is extremely helpful for me when it comes to learning and practicing. Anyways, if you are looking for a highly professional and responsible vocal coach, Courtenay is the one you go for!

Was more than happy with his dedication to my personal singing journey. I'm in the category of anatomically gifted singing....when I was young. When my voice broke, so did all hell, I threw everything I could at my voice to get it to sound good, be in control and generally be of use. Lots of voice lessons, lots of singing and I believe lots of horrible habit implementation. Now, the majority of my money and career has been built on my voice but I've always known I needed to take everything back to square one if I wanted a truly healthy and lasting voice. After only the first few lessons with Courtenay I know he's the guy I can trust to help me break down and rebuild my instrument. Basically, this guy rocks.

I am seriously impressed with the excellence of instruction I am receiving at South Island Music Studio. I actually enjoy learning music theory and discussing the details of performing and songwriting with my knowledgeable and enthusiastic instructor. Practicing and doing recommended homework is not the chore it once was. You can tell when someone loves what they do, and all of the staff I have met at South Island Studio sincerely love music and teaching. Even when my instructor was sick, the instructor who covered for him held an in-depth conversation with me about the function and meaning of musical timing within a piece. I highly recommend this school for anybody of any age who would like to learn music.

My son preferred to play by ear and the teachers at South Island helped him to develop this talent to the point where he now writes and arranges his own music. My daughter, on the other hand, was anxious about the entire idea of taking lessons. Her teacher had such a gentle and fun way about him that after a few weeks of lessons, we never had to remind her to practice and she never wanted to miss a lesson. South Island Studio inspires kids toward a love of music! Now that we have moved away from Victoria we will be hard-pressed to find teachers of this caliber.

And great vocal and musical skills. Oh, and he's so flexible. What to try it with a guitar? No problems? Just change that key a little bit? Sure. I always wanted to be a torch singer in a big-time band. I can't see that happening, exactly... but...... after my experience of several weeks with Spencer, I honestly believe that he could teach anyone to sing -- and to love it. I can't put my finger on what it is that he has, that he does, exactly. Skill, experience, patience -- and an ethic of caring for his students. And he seems to be having so much fun at the same time. I'd recommend him unreservedly. Wendy, Vancouver
