“Stuart has a demeanour which seems to relax people, and within a few minutes he had coaxed us into an amazing reaction. People who would have said they were absolutely not able to sing at all were suddenly singing along in 5 part harmonies ! Smiling faces, moving feet, and voices raised loud all told me the session had been a great success. At the conclusion of the retreat some of the other attendees broke into song spontaneously, and we sang one of the songs Stuart had taught us. Overall it may have been the catalyst to bring together 30 people from very different points of view. Until this moment we were feeling our wary with each other. After Stuart's class there seemed to be a togetherness in the group which I would not have anticipated. I'd certainly recommend Stuart to anyone looking for a similar reaction !” Rohan McMahon - GM Planning - Telstra

“Stuart brings professionalism, warmth, skills and humour to his work, which is reflected in the tremendous participant feedback we always receive after his sessions. Many people talk about how they were filled with dread at the thought of having to sing and then realise that they’ve enjoyed a unique and joyful experience. It’s fun and transformational ! We look forward to working with Stuart in the future and highly recommend his services.” Robbie McPherson - The Benevolent Society

I generally work with 3 types of groups:

1. Groups of non-singers who want a new experience or a break from their routine (for example, corporate conferences)
2. Non-singing musicians who would like to expand their musicality (for example orchestras)
3. Choirs which would like to try a new style, and expand their repertoire.
