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.

Block pricing is published and reviews show five stars on Google from twenty-seven ratings. Our judgement: Purdey's Singing Academy suits singers wanting flexible one-to-one coaching, though no trading history or insurance details appear and the customer record rests on a single review source. Booking runs through the site with phone and email published, and the site lists lesson formats, fees and booking routes in full.

Our verdict

Our judgement: Purdey's suits you if you want one-to-one vocal coaching with a trained singer, in person in Telford or online [1] [4]. Published block pricing and a strong review record stand out [2] [3]. What counts against it is the thin public paper trail: no trading history and no insurance details appear on the site.

Strengths

  • You get a vocal coach with a BA Honours degree in Professional Musicianship and industry experience at PPL and PRS behind the teaching [4].

  • Lesson formats cover one-to-one sessions, group masterclasses, music therapy workshops, choirs and songwriting, in person and online [1] [2].

  • The Google record is 5.0 from 27 reviews, seen 4 September 2026 [3].

Limitations

  • No trading history is documented on the site, and no insurance details are published.

  • Only one public review source could be read, so the customer record rests on Google alone [3].
