How Do Online Lessons Work?

Ian was a huge help to me as I was preparing to sing a soprano solo in the Messiah for the first time. My high notes were tight and the transitions between my high and low registers were choppy. Ian was patient and insightful, making useful suggestions for exercises and techniques to loosen up my voice. When the time came for me to sing the solo, I was relaxed and confident. The sound flowed from me to the audience in a way that had never happened in rehearsal. Several friends told me later that the solo was stunning! I would never have made that much progress without Ian's guidance.

Working with Ian has truly transformed my singing. His coaching and youtube videos are a wealth of vocal knowledge. Ian helped me understand why my voice was breaking and taught me the techniques to navigate those transitions smoothly. Thanks to his guidance, I can now hit high notes I once thought were impossible, and my confidence and skill have grown tremendously. I'm truly grateful for everything I've learned.

Before I became his student, I was a long time follower of Ian Castle and a religious practitioner of his online vocal exercises. After I started taking lessons from him, I benefited from his structured teaching style, gentle feedback, his attention to details, personalized and to the point exercises. Being a Turkish singer, I was impressed by his ability to quickly understand, adjust and cater to a musical style which he wasnât familiar with. He makes every lesson fun, engaging and deeply productive. Heâs an exceptional instructor that I would recommend to any singer who wants to advance his/her singing.

Iâm a hobby musician in my forties trying to teach myself to sing after years as a guitarist.Â
After three or four months of following exercises I worked up the courage to arrange my first lesson. Ian put me at ease and we went through some exercises to check my range and look for any bad habits to work on. Ian is always encouraging and provides practical advice on improving my delivery. I always come away feeling like Iâve improved my performance of the song.
I can highly recommend Ian as a teacher. Heâs a great chap and makes the lessons enjoyable and constructive. Having a regular lesson has kept me honest with practise and I am definitely a far better singer than when we started. If youâve never taken lessons before give it a shot, youâll probably surprise yourself. You will be in safe hands.
