Student Testimonials

Here are some lovely comments from Jon’s singing students past and present. Click here to read reviews on Google

“Jon is not just a great singing teacher – he is a great teacher per se.

I have benefitted from the way in which he uses visual clues and metaphor to convey singing techniques and principles. He goes out of his way to assess precisely what is needed to make progress and targets these aspects in his lessons. He listens to the individual needs and musical tastes of his students and ensures that his sessions meet these.

Jon is sensitively diplomatic when giving feedback and is always encouraging and motivational in his manner. He has enabled me go out and sing confidently in public and I trust his teaching without reservation.” – Stuart Coupe – performing website here:


“Jon is an amazing singing coach. After each lesson I believe I am Julie Andrews!

My voice has improved so much and he has given me the confidence to sing solo to an audience! A dream I never believed would come true.” – Linda Jordan


“I’d wanted to have singing lessons for years, but didn’t have the courage to start. Now, having had lessons with Jon, I wish I’d done it earlier.  I’ve learnt so much and with his help my singing has really improved. He’s patient, very good at adapting his style of teaching to suit you, plus he makes learning fun!   If you’re looking for a singing teacher, I highly recommend him.” – Rebecca Walker


“If you don’t mind a bit of madness, Jon’s teaching is extremely engaging, and in a short time he has helped me develop leaps and bounds, both in vocal technique and confidence.” – Mike Gray


I wasn’t sure if my son would be able to learn to sing. He’s 10, has learning difficulties and really struggles to read and process instructions. With Jon’s patient support and guidance, he’s come on dramatically in the 6 months since he started having lessons. He is thrilled to have recently passed his Initial Grade and is hugely motivated to keep going and improve further. It’s amazing what a difference learning to sing has made to his confidence in his ability to learn more broadly. I’d highly recommend Jon as a tutor” – Helen Carter


“We wanted our bright, but somewhat shy, seven year old to benefit from singing lessons. We hoped this would not only to help her project her voice, overcome her not uncommon nervousness of strangers, but also to learn to enjoy and appreciate the technical merits of singing.

Our daughter is nine now, and in the last two years has gained distinctions at Grade One and Grade Two singing. We would have been happy with a pass.

Jon’s quiet and unassuming approach really bolstered confidence and more importantly made achieving such high marks consistently enjoyable for our girl. We trust his gentle but informed tutoring.

I can’t thank and praise Jon highly enough for his help.” – Victor Biriotti

“Every lesson with Jon has been brilliant.

He listens to your progress and then gives individual tips to improve your performance. In my lessons we have been working on supporting the voice, improving my pitch and mixing my vocal registers.

At the end of every lesson with Jon I felt like my singing was getting so much better.

I never would have been able to develop the technique or confidence to do so without Jon’s help.”
