Our Mission

Ingram Studios’ mission is to provide quality vocal training and creative development coaching to a local and global community of aspiring musicians and professional performers.

• We believe that a solid foundational training in voice technique and breath management is key to empowering our students to perform with confidence & ease, and without risk of vocal damage.

• We want to establish a life-long love of singing and music appreciation in all our students, which we create through an environment of safety, trust and mutual respect for each other individuality.

• Though our lessons, we want to empower, inspire and connect as many individuals as possible so they can live creative, passionate and warm-hearted lives as honest communicators and story-tellers.

• We recognise that our teachers are valuable role models, and that the continued development of their craft and pursuit of a professional music career is vital, because it inspires and motivates our students to be the best versions of themselves.

• We respect the backgrounds and beliefs of all, and welcome all POC and members of the LGBTQI community.
