WHO I WORK WITH




















WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
I have worked with Joe in musical theatre and accompanying choirs he has directed - children and adults. He leads musicians and singers with clarity and the bespoke arrangement he writes are of the highest order.

Joe is imitable, Simply put, there is no better Musical Director. He has worked with more than 100 young people from our charity and he never fails to impress me with the quality of sound he brings out in people.

A truly inspirational, energetic leader of singing.

Joe Martin never fails to pull off an amazing production. His meticulous ways mean you'll always achieve perfection.

Just 3 lessons and my daughter’s confidence had grown so much! She wanted to sing but was too anxious to have singing lessons before. Lockdown enabled her to start “virtually” and now she’s feeling good. Thanks Joe

Thank you for all your efforts in rescuing our festival performance. Joe was superb! I don't think it would have happened without someone of his calibre.

EXCELLENT Based on 12 reviews Alison Critchley10 December 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been incredibly fortunate at Rosemary & Time to have been working with Joe, our talented and dedicated Musical Director, for the past few months. Joe has brought immense joy and vitality to our weekly singing and music groups, which are designed to support people affected by dementia. Every Monday, Joe transforms the room into a space of warmth and connection. Even those who aren’t naturally confident singers come alive as soon as the music begins. It’s remarkable to see their eyes light up and their spirits lifted. Joe’s unique ability to engage with each individual and understand their personality and needs, is nothing short of extraordinary. In addition to leading singing sessions, Joe has also introduced a drumming circle, which has quickly become a highlight for everyone involved. This group continues to grow in popularity and impact, thanks to Joe’s skilful approach. He meets each participant at their level, ensuring that everyone feels included and able to participate fully. Joe’s enthusiasm, empathy, and expertise have made a profound difference to our group. We cannot recommend him highly enough. 🎶 If you are considering working with Joe, don’t hesitate, his presence and talent will undoubtedly enrich any community or group. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Georgia Blight10 December 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been a part of ShowChoir NW for just over 1 year now and I remember my very first rehearsal was my free taster session. I was so nervous, as I’ve never really found something I enjoy doing outside of my house, because I suffer with quite severe anxiety, which has unfortunately developed into agoraphobia. But I knew from walking in and being greeted like an old friend by Joe, that I was going to be just fine and most importantly, safe. I feel like since joining, I have accomplished so much! I love going to rehearsal every Monday night and singing with all my friends (it’s like another family!), but I also LOVE doing our gigs, which is something I never thought I would say. I know I speak for everyone in our choir when I say that Joe fills us with so much confidence and joy! I’ve never loved being a part of something so much. Joe has such a warm and comforting smile and energy that you just can’t fake! He is the jolliest, funniest and kindest man, with the most incredible vocal range, which makes it so much easier to learn our songs (especially as someone with no musical background/can’t read sheet music for toffee!) I would highly recommend anyone and everyone to come and join us, by the end of your free taster, I have every confidence that you’ll be signing up😃 John Deakin9 December 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been to Joe for singing lessons for just over a month. As an ex musician but new to singing I initially wanted to work on basic singing which was great but have also progressed to more technical aspects of singing. Joe has made a huge difference to the quality and range of my Voice and also as importantly the positive feeling and confidence I now have. Stormy J5 November 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joe explains the physiology of singing throughly and is highly knowledgeable. He makes you feel comfortable and explores your voice so he can help you make it better. Definitely recommended him as a singing teacher! Lauren Clarkson5 November 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter absolutely loves her singing less with Joe! He's really enthusiastic and patient and I can see the progression already! Danielle Cartwright5 November 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter has weekly lessons with Joe, she loves them, he gives fun enjoyable lessons, and is very knowledgeable at what he does. Thanks Joe 😃 Joanne Armstrong5 November 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My grandson is loving his lessons with Joe. He says “They are amazing, with fun and games, and make you sing without straining your voice.” 😁 🎶 Laurance Hancock22 October 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I engaged Joe some years ago to work with young people at our charity in Blackpool. He is excellent. None of the young people were trained or experience in musical theatre or singing and what Joe enabled them to produce was unbelievable. Would definitely recommend him as a musical director or singing teacher. Jackie Starkie21 October 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm a member of ShowChoirNW and have been for 1year and 8 months now. One of the best decisions I ever made! I adore the songs we sing and Joe's arrangements are so wonderful; balanced, challenging and goosebump inducing when they come together. He directs us with such knowldge and enthusiasm, and his demonstrations are off the scale, because he has the widest singing range of any male voice I have ever known! Rehearsals are always fun and full of humour, with high expectations which leave me with a feeling of 'Wow that was great! I need to be even better for next week!' Joe, you're great. We love you! Andrew Burdett18 October 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joe has time to make sure each singer in the company is happy with their line. He makes all the singers feel at ease. His experience with choirs brings out the best in the ensemble. I have worked with many musical directors through my time in musical theatre, and I would say Joe is one of the best.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
