I've always loved singing, but as a teenager I didn't have the strength or confidence in my voice to sing the way I wanted to. This was despite having taken a number of singing lessons with various teachers prior to meeting Julian. I first met Julian when I was around 16/17 (about half my lifetime ago now!) and from my first lesson with him, the things he taught me made so much sense. I enjoyed Julian's teaching so much; I continued to have lessons with him for some time until I was happy to continue working on my voice independently.

Part of the reason that I've enjoyed Julian's teaching so much over the years is that he's helped me to change the thought process behind my singing, constantly challenging thoughts which have limited me, and teaching me how to think about breathing and sound production in a way I don't think I could have gotten anywhere else. Because I know they work, I always use Julian's exercises when I want to work on and strengthen my voice. Sometimes I revisit his studio to get his one-on-one guidance, especially at times in my life when I've set myself new musical goals – his guidance always helps me to focus and achieve them.

I've achieved so many great things vocally thanks to Julian. It's been my experience that he really cares about teaching his students to become knowledgeable, self-sufficient singers with a great sense of musicianship, empowered with tools and understanding that can be carried throughout their musical lives. I highly recommend Julian's teaching.
