I've really loved having lessons with martin and my improvement has been huge.
He is a very caring person who always pushes me to the greatest of my abilities,
is always positive and kind, and his style of teaching proves very successful whilst
providing a lot of fun and laughs at the same time. I have had a number of singing teachers, both at school and privately, and Martin has been by far the best. He always teaches unique, original and challenging songs whilst helping improve technique and style. I recently made a CD with Martin and the technology he has is amazing and the final product was so professional, i would recommend it (and him) to anyone. I love Martin's lessons and always look forward to them all the time, he makes me feel confident and completely at ease when i'm singing. He is more than a teacher, he is a friend and someone i can trust. My fantastic music career will be entirely owed to him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) Kara Wenman

My 10 year old twin girls have been singing with Martin for six months and have never failed to come out with a smile on their faces.  As well as teaching them to sing, he makes them feel extremely relaxed and their confidence has improved no end.  Would recomment Martin to anybody.  If you are thinking of putting children into singing lessons he is your man!!!!   Annie Downes (mum to Melanie & Jodie)

My daughter Sally has been attending Singing lessons with Martin for 2
years, and during that time, her voice has become much stronger, and her
range has increased considerably. Martin has managed to make her feel at ease and confident in her own ability, and Sally has very much enjoyed producing her own recorded CD with him. Gill Thomas. Mum

The singing lessons Martin provides are fun and informative with him able to offer the opportunity to record your singing or backing tracks (something which many tacher do not) which allows you to carry on practicing and learning even after the session has ended. This has allowed me to learn the technique i require and keep my voice trained over longer periods than i used to be able to, with it often losing power in between lessons prior to this. Martin has helped me to build up stamina in my voice and so has trained me to the level where i would be happy to sing for long periods without any strain on my voice. overall the atmosphere is relaxed, which in turn helps you to relax and creates a pleasureable learning environment. - Ben Jamieson

...I could commenton many things about Martin; his technique, skill,musical
diversity, technical wizardry, vocal knowledge (that is, the "mechanics" of
the voice and singing). And all of this is true. In my varied experience of
30+ years of training and performance, I know a good teacher from a
mediocre. But Martin is more than just the sum of all these skills--he is an
artist who has made me a better singer than I have ever been, bringing out
from my soul the singer I always dreamed of being. That is, after all, what
a good coach does. And he is the best. I consider it the highest privilege
to work with him. - Catherine Scoggins

Martin is easy going, relaxed and caring yet very professional and always pushing you to be the best you can be! Singing with Martin is a pleasure and I feel over the years I have been singing with him i have improved in leaps and bounds. My confidence has grown and my desire to sing has become so strong. You couldn't ask for a better singing teacher! I feel he is not only my singing teacher but a close family friend too. With Martin I feel my future carreer in singing is bright! - Kate Bielby

Martin is a great teacher, fun and easy to get along with. He has helped me to improve my singing and to gain confidence. Martin has loads of experience really knows his stuff. And on top of that he's craaaaaaaaazy!!!! - Rachel Kan

I wish I lived closer so I could have a lesson evey week! - Melanie Thompson age 10

In one class with Martin I improved my breathing technique 100% - J.W.

My name is Natasha and i think Martin is a great teacher. The lessons are fun and i have learnt alot. - Natasha Odell
