About Marleen

Hello! My name is Marleen. Originally from Estonia, I have spent the last six years immersed in the UK music industry, honing my craft as a vocal mentor, songwriter, and producer. I hold a Master’s degree in Popular Music (Vocals) from the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM) and a First Class Honours BA in Creative Artistry from the Academy of Contemporary Music (ACM). My teaching background is highly practical; I have delivered one-to-one lessons at various schools across London and taught singing in Manchester to adults and children.

Having written dissertations on vocal anatomy for both degrees, I bring a science-based approach to the voice. I combine this anatomical knowledge with my deep understanding of songwriting, arrangement, music theory, and production to help you bridge the gap between learning music and actually creating it. Alongside teaching, I am an independent artist and freelance musician. This hands-on experience in the music industry means I understand exactly what it takes to bring a raw idea to life. Whether you are finding your voice or finalising your own songs, I am here to guide you with industry-standard expertise and a highly supportive approach.

About the lesson

My lessons are tailored entirely to your goals, focusing on the bigger picture for singers who want to expand their creative toolkit beyond just vocal technique.

Depending on your vision, we can work on:
* Improvisation & Ad-libs: Finding freedom in your voice and confidently exploring spontaneous melodies.
* Science-Based Vocal Technique: Using an anatomical understanding of the voice to safely and effectively execute your toplines and creative vocal ideas.
* Songwriting & Composition: Starting fresh concepts, finishing stuck ideas, and exploring instrumental arrangement.
* Vocal Arrangement: Building lush backing vocals, structuring harmonies, and finding your unique sonic placement within a track.
* Lyrical Performance & Delivery: Connecting emotionally with the lyrics and translating that feeling into a captivating vocal take.
* Techniques for Recording & Beginner Production: Learning the essentials of capturing your vocals at home.
* Overcoming Creative Blocks: Practical exercises to get you out of a rut and back into a creative flow.
* Constructive Track Feedback: Professional, supportive review and creative feedback on your existing unreleased songs.

Having had my fair share of one-to-one lessons as a student, I know exactly how intimidating that first lesson can be, especially when sharing your original ideas and creative artistry. I strive to provide a deeply encouraging, judgement-free environment where you can feel completely safe to experiment, make mistakes, and craft your unique sound.
