Why do you sing? For personal pleasure, as a means of expressing yourself or do you want to be like one of the singing stars that people swoon over? When you decide to take a vocal course in UK, you should be clear in your own mind about your objectives. Ideally you should also make your position clear to your teacher/s. When you are all on the same page, then it makes it easier for your teacher to decide which kind of training will be most beneficial for achieving your specific goals. There is another aspect to this which should never be overlooked. Unless your vocal coach is supportive, the course you have signed up for will not yield very positive results.

A simple example is, suppose singing is a form of self expression for you, then the teacher should be able to understand that to teach you how to express yourself most effectively. On the other hand, suppose you are training to qualify for the local church choir, then it would be useless to opt for a course which includes techniques like growling and yodeling and teaches you how to record songs. Make sure that the vocal school in UK where you are training is actually capable of offering instruction in your preferred genre of music. Just as there are all kinds of people in the world, there are all kinds of music schools out there.

If you want to specialize in country and folk music, then you should avoid signing up at a school which specializes in teaching classical music. The techniques you really are going to need to sing country songs will differ quite widely from the techniques you will be taught for singing opera. Even the vocal quality required will differ significantly. You know you are approaching your goal when you can sing from the bottom to the top of your range without strain. After a period of training your voice should be stronger and louder, while you should have developed more stamina. Your singing should seem effortless.
