I’ve been going to Stuart for 3 years now, before going to Stuart I was having on going vocal problems from straining and incorrect vocal technique, I also had very limited range. Since going to Stuart I no longer have any vocal problems and my range and power has improved DRAMATICALLY. I am now hitting high notes I never thought I could have and singing a lot more freely!
Anna Saxton (Los Angeles Music Award Nomine)
Speech level singing changed my life! No more difficult explanations and technical jargon, just singing. I have tried so many techniques from estil to classical and this is the only one that has proven to be the most effective in reaching those high notes with ease and blending the register to create a seamless range.

“THANK YOU Stuart for the wonderful lessons Danni has received to date – she and I definately notice a difference in her singing and have your exceptional teaching to thank for the improvements.”
Hana & Danni
“In my first lesson with Stuart I learnt more than I had from several teachers over several years. He has an exceptional way of explaining the process of how the voice works, so you know how to connect your range from bottom to top. For once it all made sense! Stuart had me producing notes that I never knew I could hit and my voice was starting to sound whole with no breaks/flips between chest and head voice for the first time. Stuart has opened up many avenues in my singing and I highly recommend his teaching style and personality to people of all ages. He is very engaging and makes you want to strive for more, whilst keeping it fun and interesting. Thanks very much Stuart.” Sam Kelly (NZ Songwriter/Performer)

I enrolled in the voice course with an open mind. I had tried many things and for quite a long time to improve my voice, only with little progress. The expertise, experience and tools you demonstrated during the course, have helped me make amazing progress. My voice now have better clarify, great dynamics, rich variety which I have never imaged I could achieve. A better voice no doubt would help improve confidence and career development.A bonus is that I can sing much better!
I am grateful for your coaching.
