Vocal and Instrumental Coaching

Premier Teachers

Holistic Approach

Proven Results

Led by head vocal coach, Alisha Gartland, the House of Voice provides specialist training for all singers, musicians and songwriters, from complete beginners and aspiring musicians to established professionals. We are delighted to offer premier training, with a team of teachers all exclusively trained at Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) and Melbourne University which are proud premier musical institutions for the musically elite within Australia.

Despite our accreditations, it is our philosophy of holistic training which we are most proud, recognising that to move past musical blocks we need to be trained out of habits which inhibit us in both mind, body and performance. We align singers and musicians to their true voice (whatever the instrument) through holistic and specialist methods unique to The House of Voice.

HOV Coaches

We believe in fostering supported learning, where you and your teacher are in a team with a common goal to transform your musical expression. We go out of our way to make learning a safe space which you can grow and develop knowing that you are an important member of the HOV collective and that your teacher is by your side every step of the way.

We offer training in AMEB (Australian Music Examination Board), ABSRM, Trinity and ANZCA exam preparation in all instruments as well as VCE 1-4 preparation.

The House of Voice is proud of our proven results, with Distinction-Credit averages in AMEB for over 13 years, A+/A Tertiary results for Final University Examination Recitals for all students completing their Bachelor of Music and training at HOV, A Averages in VCE 1-4 examinations (Voice). Our director has also trained singers up to being signed to major record labels, who tour the world, and have been featured in Rolling Stone, SXSW tours as well as well as in Major Musicals across Melbourne.

I have been coached by Alisha for the past few years. In that time she has given me a great self awareness and an implicit understanding of my own voice. She not only helped me improve mg technique, but she has showed me how to recognise the process involved in being aware of how my voice works and how I can achieve the goals I set. She has gotten to know me and my instrument personally, and can always see what I need to work on and give me ongoing strategies to develop my singing. She is amazing!
I have been training with Alisha for years now, and she has been one of the best teachers I have ever had. I have a big singing voice and without Alisha's training I would have been tearing apart my vocal chords. I can definitely hear and feel the improvements I have made and adapt my vocal range; from soul to musical theatre. It has been one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Nathan has a very patient approach to teaching piano. He's encouraging and clearly displays his passion for piano. When I started with Nathan, I hadn't played piano for a long time and was apprehensive about picking it up again. However, with his guidance I was able to rediscover my love for playing piano and also my confidence.

If you want coaching for singing or songwriting, but you want to do it properly (whether you’re very experienced or you’re brand new), stop looking, shut Google, contact the House of Voice.

Adam
Phoebe carries a wealth of experience as an established artist, and really helped me understand the craft of songwriting! Her lessons are catered for your individual growth and are filled with fun exercises that unleash your creativity, insightful advice and explores different approaches to songwriting. Phoebe is so genuinely kind and creates such a comfortable environment to develop as a songwriter/artist!

The House of Voice has done so much for me on so many different occasions and has really taught me that sky's the limit and that there's no end when it comes to improvement. I'm so incredibly grateful for that, and I look forward to the years to come.
