COURSE TUTORS
Brian Martin
Brian’s passion and dedication to helping people absorb the music and sing easily and quickly, is second to none. With his “Brian Martin Method”, he will deftly allow you access to shift any blockages in your singing and ear training.
His great teaching style and love for the sound of the human voice and rhythms of the world will take you on a journey, emotionally and spiritually, whether you are a performer or an audience member. Brian’s musical expertise ranges from accomplished conductor and teacher and trainer of teachers to experienced vocalist, pianist, musical arranger and composer.
He has spent much of his musical career not only performing but teaching various groups and workshops as well as lecturing at universities and has a BA in Contemporary Music. He continues to tour nationally and internationally as a musician, performer, teacher and music facilitator.
Brian offers many wonderful workshops, training in singing and facilitation and much more.
Imogen Wolf
Imogen has been helping people to find ease and freedom in their voices for more than 20 years.
She teaches singing at Southern Cross University and the Northern Rivers Conservatorium, leads harmony, voice technique and reading music workshops, and runs community and advanced choirs in the Northern Rivers of NSW.
Singing enhances physical and mental well-being, and is balm for the soul. Imogen is committed to using the power of singing to foster a sense of community, joy and healing; an experience which is uniquely realised through the nurturing power of harmony.
“JOS leaders, assistants and participants are always a superb community to be with. Warm and welcoming, and I’m not great singer. Many in the class are return customers and excellent singers, they maintain the philosophy of Brian Martin and Imogen Wolf to the nth degree, even though many could be in audition only choirs. An amazing group of people.”
“Imogen and Brian are excellent tutors and they do a wonderful job with a very large group of participants. They have a teaching style that facilitates self confidence and it has been amazing over the years watching people discovering their voice.They are gems!”
“I’ve known Brian Martin and Imogen Wolf since JOS 2010. They were marvellous teachers then, and each year they just get better, which is pretty impossible given their uniquely high standard to begin with.”
