Hi, I’m Sam and I am a professional actor and teacher…

I’ve spent the last 10 years working professionally in musical theatre, performing in major West End productions including Les Misérables and Oliver!

Alongside performing, I teach singing, acting and musical theatre coaching in Henley-on-Thames for children (10+), teenagers and adults. I help students build confidence, develop technique and grow their performance skills in a supportive environment.

Singing, Acting &
Musical Theatre Coaching

  • I teach singing, acting and musical theatre to children (10+), teenagers and adults of all ages and experience levels. Whether you are completely new to performing or already preparing for auditions, lessons are tailored to your confidence, ability and goals. I also hold an enhanced DBS certificate for working with children and young people.

  • I offer one-to-one singing lessons, acting coaching and musical theatre tuition in Henley-on-Thames. Lessons can focus on singing or acting individually, or combine both disciplines for students interested in musical theatre performance. Every lesson is personalised to suit your experience level, interests and long-term goals.

  • Lessons take place weekly, helping students build confidence and progress consistently over time. I offer flexible daytime, after-school and weekend slots for children (10+), teenagers and adults, including retirees and those working from home.

  • I provide private singing and acting lessons in your home across Henley-on-Thames and the surrounding area. I am based in central Henley and can travel up to 20 minutes for lessons, making coaching convenient and comfortable for students and families.

  • My passion for singing, acting and musical theatre began when I was young, and the teachers who encouraged me had a huge impact on my development and career. Alongside performing professionally in the West End, I love helping others discover their own confidence, creativity and enjoyment through performance.

  • Lessons are one hour long and charged at a fixed rate of £66 per session. If you are interested in booking a lesson or would like to discuss your goals, please get in touch using the contact form below. I also offer a half-price introductory lesson for new students.

I work with children (10+), teenagers and adults looking to build confidence, improve technique and enjoy musical theatre in a supportive environment. Alongside learning for fun, students can also develop vocal technique and acting skills through personalised one-to-one coaching.

I specialise in drama school audition preparation, helping students prepare monologues, songs and acting-through-song material for musical theatre and acting courses. Previous students have gone on to train professionally and work within the industry. I also offer LAMDA coaching and can help students prepare confidently for upcoming examinations, auditions and performances.

For professional performers and advanced students, I offer mentoring and audition coaching shaped by over 10 years of West End experience. Whether you are preparing self-tapes, refining audition material, developing your rep book or navigating the challenges of the industry, sessions are designed to support your next step professionally and creatively.

  • "I had singing lessons with Sam from when I was 15 -17. I have now completed 3 years of training at Arts Ed and am now represented by a great agency (couldn't have done it without his guidance and support!). Sam taught me confidence, technique and professionalism and gave me the knowledge I needed to achieve! I really couldn't recommend him enough, go to him for great singing lessons."

  • "Sam has been teaching our 3 children to sing for several years. From the very first lesson Sam connected with our daughter in a trusting and professional manner and since then our children have grown into confident fabulous singers and performers. Sam brings immense enthusiasm and love for his craft, to each lesson. His experience in the West End and subsequent teaching jobs in acting /performing schools means that Sam achieves 3 times as much in a lesson compared to other singing teachers we’ve known. Also our kids have felt motivated to practice and use Sams simple techniques and recordings after each lesson to push on. Sam is a brilliant piano player too which means we’ve been crossing cover a little into Piano techniques and also acting with my son for various auditions. I could go on but whole heartedly suggest you give Sam a call and let him get to work. He been a fabulous valued addition to our family."

  • "Sam is a phenomenal singing teacher. He has a highly encouraging manner and perfectly blends technical instruction with confidence-building. Sam's passion for musical theatre is infectious and this shows through every cue and bit of feedback that he provides. Sam's guidance far surpasses singing instruction as he also shares invaluable tips and experience for those exploring a career in the industry. My daughter's technical ability has improved hugely with thanks to Sam's tuition. I can't wait to see how she develops as she continues her weekly lessons. For anyone looking for a singing teacher, I couldn't recommend Sam more highly."

  • "Sam is a great musical theatre teacher. He is really helping my 10 year old daughter develop her acting through song and her vocal technique. He is reliable and makes lessons focused yet fun. My daughter loves being taught by a real west end star!"

    —Alexandra, Parent of Singing Student

  • "Enthusiastic, talented and hugely encouraging, Sam is a brilliant singing teacher. Over the past two years he has taught my son Finn, and their lessons cover everything from Frank Sinatra to Elbow, via Neil Young. Sam has helped enormously with the performance element of GCSE Music and is now supporting Finn through A-level Music too. What makes a difference is that Sam's not just a teacher, but a working actor — seeing Sam perform in the West End was really inspiring. Most importantly, though, Sam’s lessons have given Finn a confidence and a love of singing that I think he’ll carry with him for life."

  • "Starting over as an adult student can be very daunting, but Sam's support and encouragement have already seen me through my first audition and show. Not only does Sam bring a wealth of experience to every lesson, but he is also a consummate professional, as well as being a genuinely lovely person."

    —Alexandra, Adult Singing & Acting Student
    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • "I have had various singing teachers over the years and not one of them comes close to Sam! Sam is professional, patient, clever, kind and so encouraging. Every single singing lesson I have with Sam I learn something new and feel like I improve more and more. There are songs I would’ve never thought I’d be able to sing due to a lack of range but Sam has taught me how I can sing them (sometimes I leave in shock at the things Sam has brought out of my voice!) I honestly don’t believe you will find a better singing teacher than Sam (and I used to work in the music industry so have met/worked with lots over the years)."

    —Sally, Adult Singing Student
    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • "Sam was an amazing singing teacher for my daughter. He is patient, warm, and engaging, while also being highly professional, creating a supportive environment that really helps build confidence. He genuinely cares about his students' progress, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sam to anyone who wants to discover where their voice can take them."

    —Kat, Parent of Singing Student
    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • "We found Sam back in June and honestly I wish we'd found him sooner, he is an amazing and inspiring teacher! Since starting lessons with him the change in my daughter's confidence and enthusiasm has been remarkable. He is incredibly supportive and clearly cares about his students. I can't recommend him highly enough."
