Melody Matters
Vocal coaching in Cardiff, London & online.
Research informed singing lessons with award winning vocal coach Benn Willis. Build range, power, stamina and a balanced, tension free voice, whether you are starting out or already performing.
Real technique, not vague inspiration.
Melody Matters uses contemporary, research informed vocal pedagogy recognised across the industry. Instead of chasing “head voice” and “chest voice”, we work directly with how the two key muscle groups coordinate: the thyroarytenoid (TA) and the cricothyroid (CT).
With a stable, anchored larynx, you learn to balance those muscles across your range so your voice stays connected, strong and free of strain from the bottom of your range to the top.
Closure first, then air.

Trusted by Artists & Industry Professionals.
Benn is a truly great coach! If you’re looking to improve or fix your voice then he really is an excellent choice.
Not only does he have a superb vocal instrument but an incredible passion for what he does.
As one of the UK’s leading language & speech therapists we see a lot of problem voices. Anything singing related we refer them to Benn.
Benn really knows what he’s doing and teaches based on vocal anatomy rather than vague popular concepts.
I live in the US and I look forward to my weekly lessons. Benn has an uncanny ear for finding your vocal roadblocks and guiding you through them.
At 54, I decided to try something completely new and booked singing lessons. Benn made it surprisingly comfortable from the start.
Singing lessons: common questions.
How much are singing lessons in Cardiff with Melody Matters?
A 60 minute vocal coaching session is £75. Your first 45 minute consultation is free, so you can talk through your goals before you book.
Do you offer online singing lessons?
Yes. Benn coaches singers online as well as in person, with clients across the UK, Europe, the United States, South America, Asia and Australia.
Do you teach head voice and chest voice?
No. Head and chest voice are labels built on sensation, the idea that you feel your voice in different parts of your body. Sensation is unreliable. It changes from person to person and day to day, and chasing it leads to pushing, reaching and strain. What actually changes as you sing is the balance between two muscle groups in the larynx: the thyroarytenoid (TA) and the cricothyroid (CT). We train that balance directly, with a stable larynx and controlled air, so you aren’t steering your voice by feel. You become the vessel and let the voice work.
Are lessons suitable for complete beginners?
Yes. Benn works with everyone from complete beginners to Grammy Award winning artists, and every session is shaped around your voice and your goals.
Is there a minimum age?
Coaching is for singers aged 16 and over.
Do you offer 30 minute lessons?
No. All sessions are 60 minutes, which gives enough time to work properly on technique.
What is your cancellation policy?
Please give at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or move a session.
