ANTON BROWNE

VOICE 

My ini a on in music began at a me when legends walked the

earth. The Swinging Six es had changed the face of Britain and in London at least, home grown brown faces were becoming a common sight. Rock & Roll had exploded and in its wake came... Jimi Hendrix, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, Bob Marley. The Beatles and The Stones, Joni

Mitchell, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Michael Jackson, David Bowie. The list goes on and on and on – legendary mes. Like aspiring musicians today I would go to concerts and copy my heroes as best I could; wear out my vinyls trying to ‘get it right’! The classic instruments of Rock, Blues, Country and Soul from Fender and Gibson started appearing on UK shores, it was an exci ng me. I was in various bands wri ng songs and playing guitar, keyboards and bass (not at the same me) and later singing. I would load my '76 Strat and ’79 Twin into my van and drive off to make music. I s ll do, with some 200 gigs a year. Early on, I got seriously into singing and studied at Goldsmiths College and then at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. I have been teaching at the BRIT School since it opened in 1991 and in universi es, conservatoires and colleges around London. There is more detailed informa on about my teaching and performing at the links below and I hope you will be able to make an informed decision as to whether I'm the right teacher for you. I do not teach Musical Theatre or Classical styles but most other genres are of my ken. I’m pleased that The BRIT School offers me the opportunity to:

Work with unique, mo vated and talented singers and musicians.

Enjoy my voca on with facili es that mean great music can be made in the classroom. The BRIT pianos, computers and audio interfaces, along with my own cu ng edge microphones and vocal processors, afford students a current and quality experience.

Savour a 20 minute walk from home ‐ hah!  www.thesingthing.uk Tutorial videos, singing exercise compila ons and much singing stuff ‐ there is sufficient here that you may not even need me as a teacher. www.antonbrowne.uk More about ‘yours truly’, along with videos of live performances and examples of original songs.
