About Anton

I’m a singer and songwriter, who also plays piano, guitar and bass. I teach singing & songwriting, keys, guitar & bass for songwriters, practical musicianship and recording. Basically what you need to get your singing and songs out there.

I have been teaching at The BRIT School since it opened in 1991, past work includes:

  • Vocal coach for BBC TV’s The Voice UK, Series 1 Tour

  • Professor of Jazz Voice for Trinity Laban

  • Co-author for the original LCM Popular Music Vocals singing grades

  • ACM, ELAM, Goldsmiths Uni, Roehampton Uni... I’ve been at it a while and my teaching and performing CVs are on the ‘Home’ page at https://www.antonbrowne.co.uk

  • I am pleased to be an online ‘influencer’ for Earthworks High Definition vocal microphones

The BRIT School offers me the opportunity to work with unique, motivated and talented singers and musicians and I feel that ‘creatives’ in the general pop genres are best suited to my style. I do not teach classical, opera or musical theatre but if these students want to learn pop styles then that works well.

The BRIT School has great facilities that mean good music can be made in the classroom. The pianos, computers and audio interfaces, along with my own microphones, musical instruments and vocal processors, afford students a current and quality experience.
