Canberra Vocal Development

About Us
Canberra Vocal Development is a specialist singing school offering high-quality vocal training in a supportive, relaxed, and joyful environment. Based in Canberra, we help singers of all ages and stages build confident, healthy voices across a range of styles, including classical, musical theatre, pop, jazz, and contemporary.

What Makes Canberra Vocal Development Different?
We’re Canberra’s only dedicated team of singing teachers who work together under one roof with a shared focus: voice. Unlike generalist music schools, our studio is built entirely around vocal training, and that means we go deeper.

All our teachers are university-qualified, and we’re passionate about staying at the cutting edge of vocal pedagogy. We draw on evidence-based methods including Estill Voice Training, Accent Method breathing, and Vocalab voice analysis to give every student the tools they need to thrive. We regularly collaborate, share ideas, and invest in professional development because great teaching comes from great learning.

Our Director, Elisha Holley, personally mentors the team and fosters a culture of curiosity, excellence, and care. We're not here to just run lessons. We're here to build voices that are strong, expressive, and sustainable for life.

What We Offer
Whether you're learning for fun, preparing for exams or eisteddfods, or dreaming of a professional career, we tailor your training to fit you. You’ll learn:

• Healthy vocal technique that supports any genre.
• Improved pitch, tone, range, and control.
• Performance skills and audition preparation.
• How to understand and trust your own voice.
• And most importantly, how to love singing.

At Canberra Vocal Development, we believe every voice has something worth hearing. Let’s work together to help yours shine.
