“I highly recommend taking vocal lessons with Ian. What stands out most is his ability to make complex technical concepts related to vocal science clear and easy to understand, while emphasizing why they matter. His passion for singing and vocal health is truly infectious, leaving me feeling inspired and motivated after every session. Most importantly, Ian genuinely cares about his students—their progress and enjoyment of singing are clearly his priorities. For these reasons, I strongly encourage anyone to consider lessons with Ian.”

“Outstanding vocal coach and a true advocate for his students. You can really sense Ian's enthusiasm for singing and his expertise in the art through each of his lessons which always take place in a safe, encouraging, and fun space. I come out of each lesson having learned a lot and having genuinely enjoyed it! His lessons are a great mix of both the scientific and the more intuitive sides of singing. Thanks Ian!”

“Taking vocal lessons with Ian has changed my life. His teaching is methodical and detailed, and he has helped me expand my range and find new and exciting colours in my voice.”
JULIAN BARSUTO
HOBBY SINGER
“Ian works with the methods that suit you best. He always goes the extra mile in every class, and it’s clear he is truly passionate about singing.”
ANGEL SANTILLAN
COUNTERTENOR
“Ian is truly a godsend in my quest to learn to sing countertenor. I had other instructors before, yet none was as perceptive as Ian in pointing out the things I needed to do and the exercises to strengthen my voice.”
GARY LI
SINGER-SONGWRITER
“Ian, since I started taking lessons with you 4 years ago and until now, you’ve been an integral part of my ongoing journey of finding, exploring, and loving my voice! You’ve given me so many tools work with and strengthen my voice, and quite honestly you’ve revealed to me parts of it that I never suspected I had or that I used to be ashamed of. I love that you are always in search of more knowledge about the voice, that you are truly and outspokenly an ever-growing student yourself, always eager to share your wisdom and new-found knowledge with your own students. Thanks to you I now know that many of my previous singing struggles/strains boil down to the right warm up exercises. And you’ve shown me how much I had in me all along but was unknowingly withholding merely because I was lacking in self-confidence. Thank you for believing in me.”
