"He brings a relaxed attitude to the studio and is very easy to be around which is great if you are nervous at singing in front of other people, (such as myself!) His enthusiasm during the sessions really rubs off on you!"
Angelique Rombaut
"Ian is great – I am always full of confidence after a session. Very intuitive teacher, good vibes during the lessons, great at encouraging and guiding you to get the most out of your voice. Couldn’t recommend him more"

"The Singing Wizard is just that! A wizard at teaching his craft. I love all Ian taught me 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!"

About Ian
Ian has been coaching singers in London for over 12 years, helping people to both find and transform their voices. He first studied with Angela Caine at Voice Gym, where he learned the philosophy that the ‘voice comes from the body’- a free, flexible & strong body providing the physical platform for a dynamic & exciting voice. He further studied & mentored with Jenny May in London, developing a comprehensive modern working knowledge of the voice, and developing teaching & coaching methods to translate theories into practice.
Ian believes in the uniqueness of the individual, and seeks to unearth the soul & depth of the voice, whilst always keeping things as simple as possible. We each have a story to tell, and its in finding & singing this story, & helping to unearth it in others that most fascinates him.

Ian is a very kind and professional teacher who works with great passion and dedication, and I really recommend him to everyone. 5 stars are not enough. Thank you Ian.
Ian changed the game for me. Turned each breath into a gale. Continues to open my eyes on recording and performance. Good medicine. Better than therapy.
