Ian is an amazing teacher, he puts you at ease and is diligent at teasing out what you need from the sessions even if you aren’t quite sure yourself. I went as someone who had no experience singing, other than as a kid, but I really wanted to find my voice and he was key in me achieving that. Ian is incredibly knowledgable and very good at reading people, I think. Which means that if you go with the process you will get a huge amount out of it. He really championed me and since having lessons with him I’ve really become more confident in my ability and truly feel it was an important building block in my musical life. I couldn’t recommend him enough! Thanks Singing Wizard! Xx

Ian's a superb teacher, I've been with him since I was a complete vocal beginner, and now I'm gigging round London!! He helped me record songs that I needed for songwriting camps, produce my first tracks and everything in between. I'm going back in the new year for more. Would thoroughly recommend him.

Ian really helped me build my confidence back up and train my voice in ways I had never trained before. The result: I can reach notes so much further up the scales then previously, and have got the power and energy in my voice back. We did a mixture of specific vocal exercises and music writing, and Ian was very patient with me when we wrote music together. Thank you so much.

Ian helped me with some songs and recorded some amazing demos for me. He was lovely to work with and came up with great ideas. His musical know how, creativity and talent made every session so worth it. I highly recommend Ian for anyone who want to take the next step in their songwriting and composing!!

The wizard took me to places I had not imagined within 6 short weeks. Starting with the foundations he helped a total amateur realise the potential of his voice and made singing feel fun and safe. I will book to see him again.
