I still remember my very first vocal lesson with Ian. My heart was beating at about 180 bpm, and I was completely drenched in sweat because, after 15 years of not singing a single word, I had decided I wanted to learn. I was terrified going into that first session, and I remember feeling incredibly relieved afterwards. Ian immediately met me exactly where I was, without ever making me feel embarrassed about how little I knew. He’s encouraging, but also honest, which I think is such an important combination when you’re learning something new and want to make progress. He somehow hears mistakes before they even happen and always seems to know exactly which exercise or approach will work best for me. And he has an impressive amount of patience, because I genuinely don’t know how he never lost it while I was overthinking absolutely everything. 😂 Before Ian, I’ve had a handful of lessons with two other teachers and struggled with both sides of the same problem: either I couldn’t reproduce what we’d done when practising at home, or I left feeling like I hadn’t actually learnt anything that was helping me move forward. Ian has found a really good balance. He gives me things I can actually practise and understand, while continuously pushing me to improve without overwhelming me with technical information. I've made really good progress since that terrified first lesson, and I'm becoming more comfortable and confident with every session. He's also been really encouraging when it comes to my own music, which I appreciate a lot as someone who's finding their feet as an artist. If you're looking for a vocal coach who teaches with warmth, patience and honesty, but also knows when to push you so you actually make progress, I genuinely couldn't recommend Ian more. He's made learning to sing feel both much less terrifying and much more achievable, all while being someone who's always up for a laugh in between!

Ian has taken me from a complete beginner vocalist, to feeling confident enough to perform live and express myself using the full range of my voice. The learning environment is relaxed and informal but rigorous in the approach and range of different techniques explored. Ian is an expert in adapting to your own specific vocal anatomy and breathing habits helping work through old habits and develop the control required to tap into the full potential of the voice. It had been a joyous experience to learn to sing and I would thoroughly recommend Ian to take you on that journey.

It felt so satisfying to notice how my vocal range expanded, having learned about techniques to get the best quality of voice out of myself. Before attending the lessons I knew nothing about how to develop them. I also gained a lot of confidence in reaching for high notes. I found Ian's lessons and advice really inspiring and a great benefit in developing my singing career. I would recommend Ian to anyone wanting to better their singing.

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 really helped me get more comfortable singing on stage. He helped me understand my voice better, and taught me proper breathing technique.

Can't recommend Ian enough as a singing teacher! He's patient, enouraging and really knows his stuff

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 has been the perfect coach for me. He balances encouragement and positive feedback with clear guidance. He’s a warm hearted chap and a pleasure to meet and work with. Highly recommended.

Ian has an excellent ear, and helped me massively to progress my musical skills. I highly recommend!

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 is a patient and inspiring tutor. He helped me achieve a singing goal I’ve aimed at for a very long time. I highly recommend Ian as an excellent teacher.

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.

I had a great time with the Singing Wizard. I have to do a lot of Zoom consultations with my clients which really tires my voice. Ian showed me some simple yet powerful techniques to bring out the best in my voice. My favourite part of my course was producing the singing sessions in his professional studio. I now have some great recordings of my voice which I will treasure.

I had 3 sessions in 1-1 as a birthday present and it was amazing. Ian is the best coach vocal I've ever had. Kind, patient and understanding, he really helped me come out of my shell. I would definitely recommend him, no matter your level or experience, Ian knows his craft and will help you achieve your goals. Looking forward to booking new sessions soon!

Absolutely loved working with Ian and highly recommend! He immediately noticed what I needed to work on and gave me the correct exercises so I can practice at home too. After 7 lessons my voice had so much more power and clarity. We recored a song at our last session in his studio and I’m super happy with the work we did!

I had a great time training with Ian! Highly recommended!

Went to Ian to help me prepare for a recording session and he really helped me learn good new habits and get out of.my.rut. Singing has never felt so natural or such fun!

Knowledgeable and friendly with a passion for what he does. I recommend the singing wizard!

Ian was amazing to work with & I can very highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn from scratch or improve their vocal. I had only done backing vocals before (in a high range) but Ian helped me understand the full range of my voice & gave me the correct grounding to improve. It's been a great journey. For what it's worth he's a top guy as well.

Just had a couple of singing sessions with Ian but it was enough to give me the confidence I needed to kick on. Highly recommended! Ian is also nifty in the studio with production, song arrangements etc.

I have been having singing lessons with Ian for quite some time now, and have made vast improvement. I was a complete beginner, but he instantly put me at my ease. Ian has the patience of a saint, and teaches at your own pace, he explains techniques in such a way (and as many times as it takes) that after all these years, I finally understand exactly where I have been going wrong. I really cannot recommend him highly enough!...... He truly “IS” a Wizard.

Ian is technically excellent, massively helped my confidence and is also lots of fun. Highly recommended.

Kind, sincere, friendly, patient, a wealth of singing knowledge and vocal training. A great joy to work with. I 100% recommend Ian, The Singing Wizard!

I have been taking singing lessons since November and I improved so much. Ian is a very kind and professional teacher who helps you to find out your vocal problems and then he works with you to try to fix them, and he really does it. He spends much time in what he does and he does it with great passion and dedication, so I really recommend him to everyone. 5 stars are not enough, thank you Ian.

I have been learning singing and songwriting with Ian for several years now. I’ve gone from under skilled and under confident to resourceful and capable. I could not be doing what I’m doing now with my music without Ian. His sessions have done so much for my soul and its wellbeing.

Ian's a genius. I couldn't sing and was frightened as a kitten of singing and now, with Ian's kind intelligent help, I'm not Freda Mercury but I am thousands of times better and really enjoying the lessons.

Cannot recommend Ian highly enough. I had no experience when I started with him felt I was really out of tune (though he said I wasnt too bad) I've just had my 7th lesson ( so only a couple of months in) and this week I feel like I've now noticed a massive difference in my voice whilst I am practicing. Ian is so lovely and makes you feel really comfortable, he patient too I've struggled getting a few things and hes been really supportive helping me get there in the end. I really look forward to my lesson each week.

The Singing Wizard is just that! A wizard at teaching his craft. I love all Ian taught me - he has massively helped me - my Producer guy said he could immediately notice a difference in the way I was singing - and because of what Ian showed me in my lessons, I sang for a long time and got lots of recording done AND it was so much easier, now I know not to let air push through my vocal cords - everyone should go to Ian, he is an expert at what he does and has really helped my fatigued voice, I sing everyday and it has been a real joy to not get croaky like I always used to. 5 stars for sure x x

I've been singing for years but only when I've met Ian with few lessons I was able to understand my voice better and achieved a more consistent vocal performance. Discovering my true sound!
