The virtue of patience has been gifted to me and it’s easy for me to nurture your voice, no matter how young or old, to achieve fine vocal skills, great stage presence and a solid confidence to boost.
As long as you practice, you will see weekly improvements. With your consistency in attending your lessons, you will reach your singing goals like so many of my other students.
I look forward to working with you and seeing you (and others that hear you) be amazed at your singing progress!

Houston is a great vocal teacher. When he is explaining something you can see that he has a passion for everything and he has helped me improve my voice immensely

Mr. Houston is a wonderful vocal coach. I'm how to control my breathing, lengthen my range, and vocal placement. It is truly wonderful. I have had many vocal coaches Mr. Houston is by far the best!!

He's a great guy! He really cares about what happens to your voice, and wants to make it stronger and healthier. He's already taught me so much, and I've only had a couple lessons.

Houston is a wonderful teacher!!
I’m 80 and took my first ever lesson after singing in choirs all mylife.
Houston communicates his ideas and methods beautifully and is a huge help in learning correct vocal techniques to produce better singing.
Thank you Houston.

Houston is really excellent as a teacher.
He’s extremely knowledgeable and conveys his methods enthusiastically and clearly. I am not a ‘singer’ and he’s very accepting and encouraging.
Also his teaching space is lovely

Mr. Simmons is an amazing person above all and a best-ever singing teacher. Thank you to support me, teach me and always for me all these years.

I approached Mr. Simmons for his expert assistance in the areas of Vocal Development and control. My main area of concern was Breathing. Mr. Simmons taught me the Four Step process from the book he wrote. Through his intense, no nonsense and laser like approach to this industry, I am able to develop the proper breathing controls which have greatly contributed to my ongoing success!I have If you are serious about the Voice business and are seeking an equally serious, understanding, patient, respectful, professional and encouraging Voice Coach, Mr. Houston Simmons is The Man!!

It’s always an amazing experience with Mr.Simmons. He’s not only very professional and technical but he’s also very knowledgeable about singing and music theory. He’s the perfect teacher to learn singing from because he’s very flexible about his approach and customizes lessons based on your current skill set and what you want to achieve vocally. He always touches base on how other aspects of your life influence your vocal health and emphasizes the importance of being healthy. You will not regret booking with him, especially because of the amount growth you will experience in such a short time frame.

Professional, talanted teacher and very nice person. Satisfied
