TESTIMONIALS
Brian brings years of experience and professional musicianship to his work with a passion that brings confidence out to play in the lives of those of us who just love music.
It was really an uplifting day. I really enjoyed your laid back yet expert approach, and the reminder that making music really is all about the joy and emotion, so let go and enjoy it.
I had forgotten, slightly, how enlivening it is to sing in a choir,and especially when the teacher, such as yourself is so inspiring.I really enjoyed it, and thank you.
After participating in the second Voice Training Workshop weekend with Brian Martin and Imogen Wolf I broke through and feel confident about working on singing again.
I wanted to thank you for a wonderful singing and learning experience at the Voice training workshop. I got so much out of it, it was a joy to watch you and be part of it.
Thank you both, I truly did not think I could sing and now I know I can. I'm going to join a singing group and am also jamming with some friends, it was great fun.
Through taking part in (Harmony Leader Training), I have become more confident in leading singing workshops at Men’s Gatherings. I recommend his workshops highly.
Brian’s Harmony Leader Training provided me with the confidence and tools to set up a choir and begin teaching 3-part harmonies within a week of completing it.
Brian has inspired me to step beyond my fears and embrace the joy of singing in harmony and now to facilitate others in the rich journey that is. All this and having so much fun!
I didn't know what to expect and was thrilled with how much I got out of it. I was left with a lot to think about, and ways in which I can improve my skills as a conductor.
I had such a wonderful time, Brian demonstrated many techniques and exercises which will be extremely useful to me for the future, and I'm very glad I did the course.
I thoroughly enjoyed their Harmony Leader Training, I came along for inspiration and new skills, met some great people, sang with lovely singers for a whole day and felt uplifted.
Brian successfully marries theory and fun, challenge and ease into a program rich with practice strategies, musical development opportunities and confidence boosters.
The whole experience is fun and relaxed, Brian has natural gifts of working with people, and he also continues to study and evolve, so being in the group is a rich experience on many levels.
I've been wanting to take an choir and also to start a small A Capella vocal group for awhile but never considered myself worthy of the task. Today gave me the affirmation I needed.
Brian was the best thing I've ever done to improve my skills and confidence. Brian is an exceptionally gifted teacher who genuinely connects to the needs of everyone in the group.
I didn't know I could sing until last Wednesday! What an emotion! Such beauty to be found in the gift of our voices, such a sound to cascade into our ears and lift us up.
Brian Martin listening model which focuses on listening practices is exceptionally useful for accessing the ability of accurate intonation while improving part memory, rhythm.
Thank you for the great workshop yesterday. I felt very supported by you and by the choir in my learning as a conductor and felt a real sense of empowerment and joy.
What a wonderful day with Brian, the other choir members and you, Cath! can’t wait for Monday to keep practising with the new techniques with the rest of the choir.
The encouraging part of that learning process was that I was never made to feel inadequate due to my lack of knowledge and in fact was encouraged by the trainer (Brian).
Your skill and the techniques you impart to the class are amazing. Your fun loving approach and teaching skills have changed my attitude towards music completely.
Brian Martin is a super talented vocal teacher and joining JOSM (Joy of Singing Music) was the best decision I ever made. Singing is so good for the soul and benefits us all.
I joined Mouth Orchestra, one of Brian's voice bands. The quality and beauty of the compositions, transcriptions and conducting are pretty mind blowing. A worthwhile journey!
Brian’s classes are relaxed and non-judgemental. While he tutors us on different techniques we can use to improve our singing, the focus is always on the enjoyment of the singing.
Choir with Brian gives me a buzz; a natural high that I would absolutely recommend to anyone and everyone, regardless of how much singing you have or haven't done.
I was able to join his choir and really started to develop my skills and confidence. Brian opened up a whole new world of vocal enjoyment in a group environment.
