I’ve been going to Ben at Artist studios for 3 years now. Started with the group lessons once a fortnight. I’ve had the occasional 1-1 for extra help here and there too, and I’ve recorded a couple of time as well. I really miss the group if I miss a couple, and return at the next given opportunity! Ben is knowledgeable and professional with music, but makes you feel as though he is just a very helpful and intuitive friend! More...

I love working with Ben on my recordings. He is so patient, so knowledgable and at the same time such an inspiration and fun. Highly recommend Ben if you are in a profession (or for fun) where you would like to record something in high quality, fast and have a great human being to work with. Always in awe how fast Ben is doing his magic. Of course I could do it at home, but when I leave Ben after 1-2 hours I know I have a great finished product. No messing about with trying to cut and paste and getting the music right. Just an enjoyable process through and through. In addition having someone who actually works with the voice, voiceover and creates music gives me a good feel that I can ask for feedback in times of doubt and get an honest qualified opinion.

Great teacher. Dedicated and encouraging! He is educated in voice training techniques from around the world and from different cultures. It is unsurprising then that Ben understands voices from both a scientific and a holistic perspective. Which is very rare to find in a teacher! He is always there when I need singing support and I highly reccommend him. Whether young or old, confident or shy, Ben will help you get to where you need to be and fill up your day with enthusiasm. Give his lessons a go! You are worth it! x x More...

Artist studios provides quality teaching and a great learning environment whereby every question you have is met with a positive attitude! Ben is very knowledgable and has a real and rare skill for teaching, alongside a huge amount of musical skill! I would highly recommend if you are interested in learning to sing and develop a quality skill set! More...

I took 6 singing lessons and recorded 2 songs while I was staying in Bristol. Ben’s understanding of the voice and the way he teaches is second to none. Where others are still teaching singing by keeping an egg in the throat, Ben uses the latest science and research and brings it to singing as an art form. Combine that with his recording and production skills and you have a top professional. An essential contribution to the music industry. More...

Ben has been amazing at developing my voice. He tells me I'm doing well when I am but finds constructive ways to help me if I'm not quite getting the technique. I really enjoy his lessons and have gotten a lot better since starting with him. I plan to be taught by him for much longer! More...

Ben brings such a passion and positive energy to his work. He always seems to find the way of the possible, even when to the singer they can feel impossible! Have worked on and off with Ben for a number of years - he has given me confidence to perform, to improve, and even to write my own material. Plus, he's a laugh! More...

I have attended several of Ben's group singing lessons on a Saturday. He is a very talented and knowledgeable singing coach.

Ben is a great teacher. Had him for a few years now and he makes you feel very comfortable straight away, very chilled. He’s helped me get my confidence back after basically losing my voice for a few years.

I have been working with Ben for the last 7 years. It started out as singing lessons and I loved the way he teaches which is fun and rewarding while learning a lot in a short space of time. I then went to one of his Songwriting workshops and got hooked on songwriting and I have collaborated with Ben on about 40 songs I have written since then which are all on Soundcloud. He helped me put together an album of my songs as well. I love putting together songs with Ben and each session is different so always fun and rewarding. I would highly recommend him as a teacher and collaborator on songwriting. More...

Thank you Ben for helping me achieving the goal, which was getting my voice out, as I used to be criticise by my father that I cannot sing. Now, I starting to proof that what I needed was a good teacher. I am really glad that Ben create a singing group, where everyone is able to share own unique experiences and get more information about proper singing.
All the best Ben

I have had a few singing lessons with Anna which I couldn't recommend enough... to anyone! Anna gave me the confidence to explore my voice and also to perform live. If I could, I would have a lesson every week!

Ben also runs an afternoon of song writing and group singing which I have attended. I would recommend this to anyone interested in music - you don't need to be able to play or sing... just be yourself :D

Great singing lesson! In only 30 minutes, Ben helped me to sing the top note in Lately by Stevie Wonder, C#5, which I have never been able to hit before and thought was out of my range.

I learnt how to use fast acting vocal techniques which work immediately with the right guidance.

I recommend him to anybody

I've taken part in both the group singing lessons (brilliant value for money) and the individual tutoring. Each time I found Ben to be very encouraging, trying to adapt the learning style to suit my voice. In the individual lessons I tend to bring a song in and we go through it together. There's a good mix of theory and practice, and at the end of the session I usually find that I can sing the most difficult parts of the song that I really struggled with before. Last time we had a lesson I was practicing for an audition and after Ben's lesson I got the part! So it was definitely worth doing. More...

I have worked with Ben on some recordings before and decided to get some coaching to brush up. Ben is a great coach that explains things very clearly and goes at a pace you feel comfortable with and is helping me push my limits in a gentle way to a higher level than I thought I could make so very happy with the progress so far.

An excellent place for recording, as well as a buzzing focal point for music making in the area. I used Artist Studios to record drums and violin for my latest album, and was delighted with the results- the staff expertise and top-quality facilities were just what my project needed. The building is a nice place to work, with distinctive original artwork on the walls, and a real sense of community, due to its doubling as a centre for vocal tuition and music workshops. I look forwards to my next visit! More...

We spent several weeks recording an EP here with the ever patient Ben Woodward. The whole experience was without flaws from start to finish. The professional gear we were using was way out of our price range so it was imperative to find someone to record with. One day we turned up early and heard some dulcet tones from a singing group he was teaching. Artist Studios appear to offer so much more than lessons or reccording; they're a friendly place, where you can really let off some steam in an environment that can be as professional or relaxed as you want. Ben really improved our sound, I'd recommend Artist Studios to anyone. He did particularly well to correct all of the flaws in my guitar playing with Melodyne editing, something I'll never understand! More...
