What people have said

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.
