Purdey's Singing Academy in short
Purdey's Singing Academy is the Telford vocal-coaching business of Purdey Nurse, a university-trained singer with industry background at two collecting societies, working with beginners through to professionals. Lessons run in person and online across one-to-one sessions, masterclasses, choirs and songwriting. Music theory and songwriting round out the vocal work for pupils who want more than songs alone.
The coach brings a university degree in Professional Musicianship with industry background behind the teaching. One-to-one sessions, masterclasses, choirs and songwriting cover beginners through to professionals. Block pricing runs beside the hourly rate, with an introductory session opening the door. The site lists lesson formats, fees and booking routes in full, with phone and email published.
Block pricing is published and reviews show five stars on Google from twenty-seven ratings, seen at the start of September: a strong record from Google alone, its only public source. The coach's degree and industry background sit behind the score. The online lessons carry the teaching beyond Telford postcodes. No trading history or insurance details appear, which the reviews cannot fill.
Our judgement: Purdey's Singing Academy suits singers wanting flexible one-to-one coaching with a trained singer behind it, in person or online. Published block pricing and a strong review record stand out. What counts against it is the thin public paper trail: no trading history appears and no insurance details are published.
