MA Student at
Royal Academy of Music
“After only six months working with Ben, my range has increased substantially. Ben helped me pick out pieces, coached them up to audition standard, and increased my vocal ability ten-fold. Most importantly, thanks to his help, I was awarded a place and scholarship on the Royal Academy of Music program. Ben has been, without a doubt, the best vocal teacher I have ever had. I cannot recommend him highly enough.”

"I am proud to have worked with Ben on one of the most challenging jobs of my career. He's not only a wonderful musical director but also a great person to have your back when the task ahead seems impossible. Working with him was an absolute joy and I look forward to the day when I'm lucky enough to be guided by him once more!"
JAY AIREY
Laine Theatre Arts Alumnus, Lead Singer (Celebrity Cruises)
"Working with Ben has changed my vocal life completely!
I have never felt as at ease in a lesson as I have with Ben, he really takes time to make sure you understand every aspect of the voice and how to use your abilities safely and easily and he really makes each lesson personal and catered to your voice. He makes singing feel easy! The progress I have made in my voice and vocal technique and practise would of not happened without his guidance I could not recommend more!"
